Job Description

Founding Developer Relations

adaption

• Design and ship proof-of-concept integrations, reference implementations, and sample apps that demonstrate what's possible with Adaption's platform • Own the end-to-end developer documentation experience—from API references to conceptual guides—writing content that is clear, accurate, and genuinely delightful to read • Run rapid experiments to discover what resonates with developers: new content formats, onboarding flows, tooling improvements, and community initiatives • Identify friction in the developer journey and partner with product and engineering to remove it, whether that's improving SDKs, error messages, or first-run experiences • Create a steady stream of technical content - blog posts, video tutorials, live coding sessions, podcast appearances - that helps developers learn, build, and succeed with Adaption • Craft compelling onboarding sequences, quick-start guides, and interactive demos that reduce time-to-first-value for new developers • Track and report on developer community health metrics - activation, engagement, retention, NPS - and use data to continuously improve programs • Serve as the internal voice for developer needs, translating community feedback into concrete product requirements and influencing the roadmap • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and marketing to ensure the developer perspective is represented in every major decision • Help establish the developer relations function from scratch—building playbooks, processes, and a culture of developer empathy across the company

Job Requirements

  • 2–3+ years of experience in Developer Relations, Developer Advocacy, Developer Experience, or a closely related technical community role
  • Strong AI fundamentals and hands-on experience working with AI tools, APIs, and frameworks - you understand the ecosystem developers are building in today
  • A portfolio of technical content you're proud of: blog posts, video tutorials, open source contributions, conference talks, or community-building initiatives (share your GitHub!)
  • Full-stack ownership mindset: you're comfortable taking large, ambiguous initiatives from zero to one with minimal guidance and a strong bias toward action
  • Clear, compelling communicator for technical audiences—you can explain a complex API concept to a beginner and debate architectural tradeoffs with a senior engineer
  • Genuine enthusiasm for developer tools, developer experience best practices, and the craft of making technical products a pleasure to use
  • Proficiency in Python and comfort reading and writing production-quality code - you can build the demos you talk about.

Benefits

  • Flexible work: In-person collaboration in the Bay Area, a distributed global-first team, and quarterly offsites.
  • Adaption Passport: Annual travel stipend to explore a country you've never visited. We're building intelligence that evolves alongside you, so we encourage you to keep expanding your horizons.
  • Lunch Stipend: Weekly meal allowance for take-out or grocery delivery.
  • Well-Being: Comprehensive medical benefits and generous paid time off.
