Developer Relations & Ecosystem Growth Lead

Join to apply for the Developer Relations & Ecosystem Growth Lead role at Sentient Labs in San Francisco, CA.

As the first in this role, you’ll own and grow our developer community and experience from the ground up, bridging breakthrough AI infrastructure and the developers building the next generation of LLM agents, open‑source tooling, and decentralized AI systems.

You’ll wear multiple hats : advocate, educator, community architect, content creator, and ecosystem strategist, inspiring and empowering developers to build with Sentient’s platform while ensuring their feedback loops into product, research, and protocol design.

This zero‑to‑one role is ideal for a technical, entrepreneurial, and open‑source‑focused individual who wants to define how AI developers interact with an entirely new stack.

Developer Community & Ecosystem Growth

  • Define and lead our developer relations strategy, from positioning to execution in partnership with founders and product leads.
  • Build and engage a global developer community across GitHub, Discord, Twitter / X, Stack Overflow, and beyond.
  • Foster an inclusive, curious, and ambitious builder culture around Sentient’s open‑source initiatives and APIs.

Developer Experience & Support

  • Own the developer journey : from first contact to successful integration and ongoing contribution.
  • Respond to questions, troubleshoot issues, and guide early adopters through onboarding, SDKs, and technical integrations.
  • Collect feedback from developers and relay it to product and engineering to shape roadmap decisions.
  • Content & Education

  • Write clear, helpful technical documentation, tutorials, and API guides.
  • Build sample projects and demos to showcase use‑cases and inspire innovation.
  • Share insights through blog posts, livestreams, podcasts, talks, and community forums.
  • External Representation & Evangelism

  • Represent Sentient at conferences, meetups, online events, and hackathons.
  • Grow Sentient’s developer voice and visibility by building in public and contributing to the open‑source AI conversation.
  • Encourage and support contributions to our public repos and tools.
  • Infrastructure & Team‑Building

  • Shape the foundations of DevRel at Sentient, including tooling, KPIs, and community architecture.
  • Help hire and lead a growing DevRel team as we scale (advocates, community managers, technical writers).
  • What You’ll Need

  • 5+ years experience in Developer Relations, Technical Advocacy, or developer‑focused Product / Community roles.
  • Strong technical fluency – experience with AI / ML tooling, training models, or building with APIs and open‑source systems.
  • Solid coding ability (e.g., Python, JavaScript / TypeScript) to build demos, debug issues, and contribute to repos.
  • Experience launching or scaling developer ecosystems, especially around APIs, SDKs, or platforms; a natural educator and communicator.
  • Strong community instincts – moderation, GitHub maintenance, Discord administration, or similar.
  • High ownership and bias for action; you spot a need and build the solution.
  • Deep belief in open‑source AI and a decentralized future for intelligence.
  • Preferred

  • Experience contributing to or maintaining open‑source projects in the AI space.
  • Background in LLM infrastructure, agent frameworks, or training / inference pipelines.
  • Familiarity with modern AI stacks (e.g., LangChain, Transformers, Hugging Face, BentoML).
  • Prior experience launching ambassador programs, grants, or community onboarding pipelines.
  • Public speaking experience or a history of creating dev‑facing content that’s actually useful.
  • Mid‑Senior level

  • Full‑time
  • Engineering & Information Technology
  • Technology, Information and Internet.
