About the role

  • Own Runpod's developer relations strategy: define the programs, content, and engagement motions that drive developer adoption, education, and advocacy
  • Create high-quality technical content: tutorials, guides, sample applications, benchmarks, integration walkthroughs, and video demos that help developers succeed on the Runpod platform
  • Build and maintain reference architectures, sample repos, and integration examples that demonstrate Runpod's capabilities across inference, training, fine-tuning, and agent workloads
  • Represent Runpod at developer conferences, meetups, and community events (AI/ML conferences, KubeCon, NVIDIA GTC, PyCon, etc.); deliver technical talks and workshops
  • Engage actively in the open-source AI ecosystem: contribute to relevant projects, build integrations with popular frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face, vLLM, LangChain, etc.), and cultivate relationships with maintainers
  • Build relationships with AI/ML influencers, YouTubers, technical bloggers, and educators who reach Runpod's target audience; support and enable their content creation efforts
  • Collaborate with Content and Marketing to align technical content with product launches, campaigns, and positioning
  • Contribute to Runpod's documentation and developer experience by identifying gaps, writing docs, and working with Product to improve onboarding flows
  • Own end-to-end community strategy and day-to-day operations across Discord (primary), Reddit, GitHub Discussions, social channels, and any emerging platforms where Runpod developers congregate
  • Build and manage community programs that drive engagement, retention, and advocacy: ambassador/champions programs, power-user recognition, community challenges, template showcases, and office hours
  • Create and maintain community onboarding flows that reduce time-to-first-value for new Runpod users and connect them to relevant resources, templates, and peers
  • Monitor and synthesize community conversations to surface product feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and emerging use cases to Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams on a structured cadence
  • Develop and enforce community guidelines that maintain a welcoming, high-signal environment while scaling membership; recruit and manage volunteer moderators as the community grows
  • Plan and execute community events including AMAs with Runpod engineers, community showcases, hackathons, and virtual meetups
  • Partner with Support and Product to build self-serve knowledge resources (FAQs, troubleshooting guides, best practices) that reduce support ticket volume and improve developer self-sufficiency
  • Track and report on combined DevRel and community impact metrics: content engagement, developer activation, community health (active members, engagement rates, response times, sentiment), conference ROI, community-sourced feedback volume, and influence on product adoption
  • Identify and cultivate relationships with high-value community members and open-source contributors who can become ambassadors, content contributors, or case study candidates
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to close the feedback loop between what developers experience in the community and what Runpod builds; advocate for developer experience improvements internally

Requirements

  • 5+ years of combined experience in developer relations, developer advocacy, community management, or a hybrid role at a developer-focused company
  • Strong technical skills: you can write production-quality code (Python required; Go, Rust, or TypeScript a plus), build demos, and debug developer issues in real time
  • Demonstrated ability to create compelling technical content: blog posts, tutorials, conference talks, video content, or open-source contributions with measurable reach
  • Deep familiarity with the AI/ML ecosystem: model training and inference workflows, popular frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, vLLM), containerized deployments, and GPU compute concepts
  • Deep fluency with Discord as a community platform, including bots, roles, channel architecture, and moderation tooling; experience managing communities of 10K+ members
  • Experience building community or developer programs from scratch (ambassador programs, hackathons, user groups, content pipelines) with measurable results
  • Strong public speaking skills with a track record of delivering technical talks at conferences, meetups, or webinars
  • Strong written communication with the ability to move between developer language and business context; equally comfortable writing a deployment tutorial and a product feedback summary
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams in a fast-moving environment
  • Comfort operating in a remote-first environment with minimal structure and high autonomy
  • Successful completion of a background check
