About this role

As a Developer Advocate at Fireworks AI in San Francisco, you own the crucial mission of making this platform the first choice for developers building, fine-tuning, and serving frontier open models. This role suits an ambitious technical expert who excels both as a working engineer and a public communicator, capable of shipping real code while engaging the developer community.

Role Overview

Developers make rapid infrastructure choices based on how quickly they can achieve a working inference call. In this position, you will create content and tools worth showing rather than merely talking about other people's work. You will join an early advocate team, establishing standards for content, launch responses, and community engagement. The role is based in San Mateo, CA or London, with a remote work style and regular travel to conferences, hackathons, and partner events.

Key Responsibilities

Build runnable cookbooks, quickstarts, reference applications, and end-to-end tutorials using real code.
Own launch responses by quickly delivering working demos, honest benchmarks, and integration guides when major models drop.
Show up actively in owned properties like docs, blogs, and Discord, as well as external communities such as GitHub, X, Reddit, and Hacker News.
Speak at conferences, lead hands-on workshops, run developer dinners, and mentor at hackathons.
Serve as the developer's voice inside Fireworks AI by funneling user friction, feature gaps, and unmet needs back to product and engineering.
Instrument your own work to measure adoption, activation, and time to first successful build.

Requirements

5+ years of combined engineering and developer-facing experience, spanning production software and developer education or relations.
Strong coding abilities in Python, alongside comfort in TypeScript and JavaScript.
Hands-on experience with the modern AI stack, including LLM APIs, agent frameworks, fine-tuning, evaluation, and model deployment.
A public track record of technical writing, talks, videos, or open-source work demonstrating the ability to explain complex concepts.
Demonstrated speaking ability at conferences, meetups, or workshops.
High learning velocity to rapidly adapt to newly released models and papers.
Strong ownership instinct to scope and execute projects end-to-end without a pre-made content calendar.

Nice to Have

Open-source contributions or maintainership in the AI and machine learning ecosystem.
Depth in inference optimization, serving architecture, post-training, or evaluation methodology.
Experience building enduring operations, content workflows, or community programs.
Comfort with producing video content.
Existing relationships with AI research or open-model communities.
Experience utilizing frontier coding agents in daily workflows.
Early-stage DevRel experience establishing operational strategies.
