Full Job Description
About the role

We're looking for a founding Developer Relations Engineer to help make Linkup the most exciting AI company for developers.

You'll shape how developers discover, understand, and build with Linkup - creating demos, SDKs, content, and experiences that inspire builders and accelerate adoption.

This is a hands-on, outward-facing role that combines engineering, storytelling, and community. You'll work closely with our product, GTM, and marketing teams to build relationships, run events, and shape how developers experience Linkup - from local meetups to global hackathons.

You'll combine technical depth with creative communication - helping developers adopt Linkup through hands-on projects, public demos, and community engagement

What You'll Do
  • Be on the ground: attend and host local events, run meetups, and build relationships across the Bay Area and US developer ecosystem.
  • Build and ship polished demos, sample apps, and starter kits that showcase what's possible with Linkup's APIs.
  • Develop and maintain SDKs, templates, and reference implementations for AI and agentic workflows.
  • Design and deliver workshops and presentations that teach developers how to integrate Linkup into real products.
  • Produce technical content - blog posts, tutorials, videos, and benchmarks that make complex tech approachable.
  • Collaborate with product, GTM, and solutions teams to turn developer success stories into public examples and resources.
  • Collect and synthesize developer feedback to inform product and developer experience priorities.
  • Build partnerships with other tech companies to co-host events and create shared demos.
  • Track impact: measure content and community performance, iterate on formats, and scale what resonates.

Requirements

You're a great match if you:
  • Have 3+ years of relevant experience, working directly with developers in organizations/platforms that service them
  • Have strong engineering skills (JavaScript/TypeScript or Python) and a creative streak.
  • Love shipping fast, creative, and beautifully polished projects.
  • Are comfortable on stage - speaking, teaching, or demoing to live audiences.
  • Know how to turn technical depth into compelling storytelling.

What would be big plus to have:
  • Hands-on experience with APIs, LLMs, and DevTools.
  • A track record of organizing meetups, workshops, or hackathons with measurable engagement or outcomes.
  • Existing community connections in the Bay Area / New York that can accelerate developer outreach.
  • A portfolio of demos, talks, or tutorials showcasing strong developer-facing communication.
  • Prior open-source contributions or participation in active developer communities.


Details

The ideal candidate will play a central role in our GTM team in the US, partnering closely with the founders to spearhead groundbreaking products. Your expertise will shape the future of AI-powered applications and bring our vision to life.

We offer a flexible remote-work policy- see the details here.
