About the role

This is our first DevRel hire, and it is a content and developer-experience role.
You might also conduct research on new applications of the core Spiral product.
The job is to earn credibility with a technical audience by shipping things that are genuinely good.

Build and maintain reference pipelines against real datasets (such as those on Hugging Face), and keep them working as the product moves.
You'll collaborate with the rest of the team to create the tightest possible feedback loop between developers/researchers and our product and docs.
You'll own the material that teaches researchers and training engineers how to get real work done with Spiral: cookbooks, worked examples, benchmarks, and reference pipelines grounded in datasets people actually train on.

You can point us to things you've written.
You have a working mental model of GPUs, training loops, and where the bottlenecks actually are.
You are well connected in developer and/or AI communities.

Open-source contributions in relevant territory (PyTorch data / DataLoader, HF datasets, Ray Data, video/decode tooling, or similar).
Experience with columnar / analytical data formats.
An existing audience among ML practitioners - welcome, but genuinely secondary to the credibility above.
Prior DevRel, AI research, or research-engineering experience.
What this role is not
Not a social-media-growth or "personal brand" role
Not primarily events and evangelism
Not marketing-with-a-little-code.

About Spiral
They spend their days waiting on data loaders, writing video or sensor data pipelines, and watching expensive GPUs sit idle on I/O.
