Role Description We are looking for a Developer Relations Engineer to help us evolve our customer experience from a sales-led motion to a developer-first, product-led engine. - Your primary goal is to remove friction. - Ensure that developers can evaluate RevenueBase, understand our value, and deploy code without needing to schedule a sales call. - Be the bridge between our product and the developer community, focusing on time-to-value and technical transparency.

Why RevenueBase - Frontier impact: - Define the data infrastructure patterns for autonomous AI agents as they move from prototype to production. - Proven traction: - Cashflow positive, 100% retention, tripling growth. - Technical depth: - Real problems without Stack Overflow answers—debugging agent loops, architecting data flows for continuous AI. - Founding role: - First DevRel hire with clear path to leadership as we scale from supporting dozens to thousands of AI developers. What We Offer - Real stake: - Competitive salary and meaningful equity as a founding technical hire. - Comprehensive health coverage: - Medical, dental, and vision plans. - Direct impact: - Work directly with CEO (previous company sold to D&B for $125M), and small team. - Flexible time off: - Take what you need.
