About the role
- You.com's Search, Contents, and Research APIs are becoming the default retrieval layer inside AI agents, coding tools, and agent frameworks.
- You will ship demos, sample apps, integrations, and open-source contributions
- You will also be the technical and creative voice behind our hackathons and developer events, deciding which ones are worth doing and what builders should make there.
Responsibilities
- Build demos, sample apps, starter kits, and reference integrations across the agent stack (MCP, agent frameworks, coding agents and harnesses, IDE and plugin marketplaces), each designed to get a developer from curious to a first API call in minutes
- Own You.com's developer presence on Discord and Reddit: answer questions, start conversations, stream what you're building, and co-build with our engineers in the open (automation handles support triage
- Show up authentically in the other communities where AI builders gather, including partner Discords, open-source repos, and forums
- Build a You.com-specific community of builders who actively use our APIs, rather than borrowing someone else's audience
- Partner with our Brand and Social team on X and LinkedIn, bringing the technical content and credibility to the channels they own
- Shape the programming for our hackathons and developer events, including themes, partner pairings, and challenges that produce genuinely new builds on the floor rather than pre-built projects with our API bolted on, while our Events and Partnerships team runs logistics
- Own the DLG side-event calendar around major conferences, using the company's master events list to decide where we show up and what we do there
- Speak at conferences and meetups, write strong CFPs, and help our engineers land talks of their own
- Build a champion program that empowers technical builders to host You.com meetups, workshops, and demo nights in their own cities and countries, backed by our budget, content, and logistical support
- The chance to collaborate with a team at the forefront of AI research
Requirements
- Engineering background with hands-on experience shipping real code in Python and/or TypeScript
- Experience speaking at conferences and organizing meetups, hackathons, or technical conferences
- Experience building with LLM APIs, agents, MCP, and modern AI developer tools, with the depth to hold your own in technical conversations with senior engineers
- Visible track record of building in public through GitHub, blog posts, videos, livestreams, or talks
- Fast, strong writer who genuinely enjoys writing a lot, and is comfortable on camera, on stream, and on podcasts
- An authentic, low-hype voice that developers trust because it doesn't sound like marketing
- Highly proactive and comfortable building programs from scratch rather than inheriting an established playbook
Nice to have
- Deep connections in the developer and open-source community, at minimum on the West Coast, with national or global reach a plus
- Prior DevRel or developer evangelism experience at a developer tools, API, AI infrastructure, or open-source company strongly preferred
- An existing following on GitHub, X, YouTube, or Twitch is a plus
- Experience running an ambassador or champion program is a plus
- Contributions to popular agent frameworks or AI developer tools are a plus
