Developer Relations Engineer

Summary

Runpod is an AI Developer Cloud that provides infrastructure for developers to experiment, train, deploy, and scale AI applications. The Developer Relations Engineer will build developer tools, extensions, plugins, integrations, demos, and technical content while engaging with the developer community and feeding product insights back to internal teams.

Responsibilities

• Build tooling, extensions, and plugins that improve the developer experience on Runpod, and instrument them so the impact is measurable. Success means shipped tools with real adoption that reduce friction and drive downstream product usage
• Deliver talks at developer and AI developer conferences, and build relationships with organizers and attendees
• Spend time building as our users build, and surface any pain points and bugs you encounter along the way
• Design and run programs that scale our core pillars: content, events, and community, so impact compounds over time. Success means repeatable, durable systems rather than one-off efforts
• Show up consistently where developers are, build genuine relationships, and surface insights to Product and other relevant teams. Success means deep community presence that generates inbound interest and shapes product direction

Skills

• Experience writing code in Python, JavaScript, or Go
• Experience as a software engineer
• Technically credible, able to build and demo real things on the platform and hold a deep technical conversation without a script
• Experience creating technical content such as demos, docs, tutorials, or sample apps — for a developer audience
• Track record of building integrations or contributing to open-source projects within an ecosystem (ML/AI frameworks, SDKs, tooling)
• Comfortable working with high autonomy, identifying gaps or friction points and shipping fixes without waiting for direction
• Familiarity with GPU compute, ML infrastructure, or AI engineering workflows
• The ability to regularly attend events and conferences in person
• Able to speak publicly on behalf of a developer facing product
• Successful completion of a background check
• A strong written voice, with recaps and posts that make people who weren't in the room feel like they missed something
• The ability to create videos with a high level of technical depth
• Familiarity with AI libraries and frameworks, agent frameworks, or ML infrastructure and GPU workloads
