Job description

Exa is building a search engine from scratch to serve every AI application. We build massive-scale infrastructure to crawl the web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to index it, and develop super high performant vector databases in Rust to search over it. We also own a $5M H200 GPU cluster that regularly lights up tens of thousands of machines.

DevRel Engineers play a crucial role in connecting Exa to the world. We're building an API to all knowledge unlike any that has ever existed and the people need to know - through demos, tweets, hackathons, API docs, and more. Want to get the world excited about the next-gen of search?

Desired Experience

• You are a strong engineer, and can quickly ship high quality, viral applets in React/Node

• You understand the developer community inside and out — you’re deeply plugged into the latest trends, speak the language, and can create technical content and experiences that resonate with the people who matter.

• You've built and shipped tools/projects that have gone viral

• You have engineering experience with APIs and care deeply about designing them well

• You're excited to wear many hats (frontend, social media, marketing, support, etc)

• You care about the problem of finding high quality knowledge and recognize how important this is for the world

Example projects

• Create and demo viral applets that showcase how Exa’s search powers next-gen applications

• Create the greatest API documentation of all time: GPT-4 chat with the documentation is an example interface

• Manage our social media relationship with developers

• Create a banger Exa hackathon

This is an in-person opportunity in San Francisco. We're happy to sponsor international candidates (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H1B, O1, E3).
