About the role

Where Developer Advocates prove what's possible through code and content, you prove it by putting a keyboard in a developer's hands.
You run the builders night where 40 developers make their first API call.
Your primary output is programs, events, and activation infrastructure.

Build the SF Presence: Establish and maintain a regular cadence of in-person programming in the Bay Area that makes Deepgram the default gathering point for voice AI builders.
Builders nights, workshop series, partner co-hosted events - you design the formats and run them.
Design for Activation: Every event you run has a clear activation goal.
Design hands-on workshop formats that get developers to a first API call during the session.
Maintain workshop-ready demo infrastructure - facilitator guides, environment setup, and scaffolding that works for 40 people simultaneously.
Scale the Playbook: Document repeatable event playbooks, community engagement patterns, and workshop formats so the team can scale this work beyond one person and one geography.
Technical Credibility: You don't need to be a Staff engineer, but you need to be technical enough to triage developer questions live, run a workshop on API integrations, and maintain demo infrastructure.
AI-First Mindset: You use AI tools in your daily workflow - for planning, content, research, automation. You're building with AI, not just talking about it.
Community Building: Experience growing and sustaining a developer community.

Event Execution: A track record of producing technical events - meetups, hack nights, workshops, conference activations - from concept through post-event measurement.
You know the difference between an event that generates buzz and one that generates activations.
Local Presence: Based in San Francisco with the ability to be Deepgram's consistent in-person presence in the Bay Area. ~25% travel beyond the region for conferences and team gatherings.
Experience with community platforms (Discord, Discourse, Orbit, Common Room) and community analytics.

While content isn't your primary output, the ability to produce event recaps, community spotlights, or short-form social content is a plus.
Developer Event Production at Scale: Experience producing events for 50-200+ developers, including logistics, A/V, catering coordination, and venue management.
Community Tooling: Experience with community platforms (Discord, Discourse, Orbit, Common Room) and community analytics.
Content as a Complement: While content isn't your primary output, the ability to produce event recaps, community spotlights, or short-form social content is a plus.

The company ended 2024 cash-flow positive with 400+ enterprise customers, 3.3x annual usage growth across the past 4 years, over 50,000 years of audio processed and over 1 trillion words transcribed.

Manage the health and growth of Deepgram's developer community across Discord, GitHub, Reddit, and social platforms.
You understand engagement loops, community health metrics, and when to lead vs. when to step back and let the community help itself.
Bonus if you've built custom community tooling or automation.
Medical, dental, vision benefits
Annual wellness stipend
Mental health support
Generous paid parental leave
Bonus if you've produced hybrid or virtual events.
