  • Developer Onboarding & Enablement: Create starter resources and structured onboarding experiences that streamline and simplify developer adoption and early success with Deepgram’s APIs and tools.

  • Open-Source Contribution and Engagement: Foster an active open-source community by initiating and supporting high-quality open-source projects, encouraging community contributions, and maintaining healthy, collaborative interactions

  • Technical Community Enablement: Collaborate closely with the Director of Community Growth, specifically focusing on technically enabling developer communities and providing deeper technical interactions, support, and guidance within events and developer-focused platforms.

  • Developer-First Feedback Loop: Establish robust mechanisms to listen and respond to developer feedback, leaning heavily on automation where possible, with the goal of supporting continuous product improvement and reinforcing trust within the developer community, a focus that should remain central for the team.

  • Metrics-Driven Growth and Visibility: Work closely with Marketing to define and measure key performance indicators, reflecting community health and technical brand strength, and adjusting strategies for maximum impact and visibility, while delivering on cross-organization goals.

Success Criteria

  • Elevated technical brand recognition and reputation among global developer communities

  • Expanded developer base and increased active developer engagement

  • Visible increase in developer advocacy and organic promotion of Deepgram

  • Stronger alignment between DevRel initiatives and company strategic objectives

  • Strong technical background and credibility, having significant hands-on experience as a skilled developer or software engineer, and deeply understanding developer challenges and opportunities

  • Demonstrated ability to grow technical brands through community and thought leadership

  • Excellent public speaking, writing, and technical storytelling skills

  • Deep familiarity with modern development platforms, APIs, and SDKs

  • Proven strategic thinker who translates developer needs into impactful actions

Preferred Experience

  • Background in voice AI, machine learning, or developer infrastructure

  • Experience building and scaling DevRel teams at rapidly growing organizations
