About the role
- Ship Reference Apps & Demos: Architect and open-source sample apps that solve real-world challenges — building real-time voice agents, orchestrating multiple voice AI models, streaming audio intelligence pipelines. Every demo should be runnable, well-documented, and designed for developers to learn from and build on.
- Code-First Content: Produce deep-dives, video walkthroughs, and "build-in-public" documentation that moves developers from idea to working prototype in minutes. You write and build for developers.
- Be the "Zero-Index" Sensor: Act as the first customer for every new feature and API change. Turn feedback from your own builds and from the developer community into Friction Reports that influence Product and Engineering priorities.
- Own Technical Narrative: Author high-quality technical content across blogs, social media, and video platforms that establishes Deepgram as the default choice for voice AI.
- Community Engagement: Engage where developers live (GitHub, Reddit, X, Discord, Hacker News) to represent Deepgram, answer questions, and earn community trust through consistent technical presence.
- In-Person Advocacy: Serve as Deepgram's on-the-ground presence primarily in the US. Lead workshops, speak at meetups and AI conferences, and build relationships with the developer community. Expect ~25% travel.
- Cross-Pillar Contributions: Contribute to the Developer Experience pillar - building integration recipes, improving SDK documentation, or building demo tooling.
- Multiply the Team: Document your processes and playbooks. Mentor teammates on content strategy, demo architecture, and community engagement patterns
- Connect Work to Outcomes: Frame your impact in terms of developer outcomes — sign-ups, activations, content-to-trial conversion, community growth. Articulate the business case and impact for your work.
Requirements
- 5+ years in Software Engineering or Developer Relations. You've shipped production code and you've shipped developer-facing content
- Solid foundation in JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, Rust, or Go. You're comfortable building APIs, wiring up integrations, and creating clean frontends to showcase your work.
- You use AI tools in your daily workflow for coding, content, research, automation. You're not just building AI demos; you're productive *with* AI.
- A portfolio of technical writing, blog posts, talks, or video content that demonstrates that you can make complex topics land with a developer audience.
- Experience participating in or building developer communities. You know how to engage with empathy and technical credibility, and when to step back and let the community lead.
- You simplify complex AI orchestration through clear writing, documentation, and high-quality code samples. Developers trust your explanations.
- You proactively find the gaps, define the plan, and drive to outcomes without waiting to be pointed at a problem.
- US East Coast, with the ability to attend and represent Deepgram at events in the NY metro area. Some travel beyond the region (~25%) for conferences and team gatherings.
