About the role
Developer Relations is how builders learn what our models can do and how we learn what they need. You write the sample applications, guides and talks that show real techniques working, and you carry what developers struggle with back to the people who can fix it.
Every new capability from Frontier AI, whether long-term memory, multimodal input or dense tool use, needs a credible, runnable example before anyone trusts it. Clexerl Go gives us a living reference for agent-native design, and your work helps outside developers apply the same patterns to their own products. Honest feedback to the platform team is as much part of the job as publishing.
You are an engineer first. Everything you publish is code that runs, is tested, and is kept current as the API changes.
What you’ll do
- Build end-to-end reference applications that demonstrate tool use, structured outputs, retrieval and multimodal inputs with production-grade patterns.
- Write and maintain guides, cookbooks and API documentation, treating code samples as tested artefacts.
- Give talks and run workshops at conferences, meetups and online sessions, with live demos that hold up.
- Gather developer feedback from forums, issue trackers and direct conversations, and turn it into prioritised, reproducible reports.
- Test new API features before launch and write the migration notes and examples that ship with them.
- Build community tooling such as starter templates, evaluation notebooks and open-source examples.
What you’ll bring
- Several years as a software engineer, with enough range to build credible applications in more than one stack.
- A portfolio of public technical writing, talks, samples or open-source work that shows you can teach.
- Working knowledge of language-model APIs, prompt design, tool calling and the common ways applications fail.
- Ability to read an API design critically and explain its rough edges to the team that owns it.
- Comfort presenting live to technical audiences and answering hard questions without bluffing.
- Willingness to travel for events several times a year.
Nice to have
- Experience running a developer community, hackathon series or open-source project.
- Fluency in a second spoken language used by a large developer audience.
- Background in building developer tooling or CLIs.
- Experience producing short technical video or live-coding content.
Work you might take on
- 01
Ship a reference agent that plans, calls tools and recovers from errors, with a tested repository and a written walkthrough.
- 02
Rewrite the structured-outputs guide around five real failure cases collected from developer support threads, each with a fix and test.
- 03
Build a notebook that compares retrieval strategies on a public corpus and shows how to measure which one actually helps.
- 04
Create a continuous check that runs every documentation sample against the live API and opens an issue when one breaks.
