About the Role

We’re hiring a Developer Relations Lead to champion the builders and startups defining the future of open AI.

You’ll grow and engage the Featherless ecosystem — from model creators to early-stage founders — helping them deploy, scale, and monetize their ideas on our platform. You’ll serve as both advocate and architect: creating demos, shaping integrations, organizing events, and amplifying the voices of our developer community.

This role blends technical fluency, storytelling, and real-world community presence. You’ll represent Featherless in San Francisco and online — connecting with AI builders, creators, and founders who share our belief in open, accessible intelligence.

• Empower developers: Help model creators and AI startups deploy and scale their projects on Featherless

• Grow the ecosystem: Expand our West Coast network of builders, researchers, and early-stage founders

• Build and share: Create examples, demos, and case studies showcasing real model deployments

• Host and speak: Represent Featherless at hackathons, community events, and developer showcases

• Create technical content: Write posts, tutorials, and updates that highlight what’s possible with open models

• Collect feedback: Act as the voice of the developer community — surfacing insights that shape our roadmap

What You Bring

• 3–6 years of experience in Developer Relations, Developer Advocacy, or Applied Engineering

• Strong grasp of AI, LLMs, and open-source model ecosystems (e.g. Hugging Face, RWKV, Ollama, PyTorch)

• Proven track record of building or contributing to AI developer communities or startup ecosystems

• Established network of builders and founders in the Bay Area AI scene

• Excellent communication and technical writing skills

• Capable of building small prototypes, demos, or integrations (Python or JavaScript preferred)

• Entrepreneurial mindset — you operate independently, move fast, and get things done

Why Featherless

• Be the face of truly open AI development in San Francisco

• Work directly with founders and research engineers on cutting-edge infrastructure

• Help thousands of creators and startups bring new AI products to life

• Shape the open-model ecosystem from the ground up — and make AI accessible for everyone

Compensation: $160-250K (Bay Area)
