This is an in-person role rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area developer ecosystem. You'll be out in the field, attending meetups, connecting with partners, and representing Apify across the local community. To succeed in this role, you'll need to already be based in the Bay Area.
Apify's mission is to help anyone get value from the web.
Why?
We believe that humans have better things to do than filling forms, compiling huge Excel sheets of copy-pasted data, or watching thousands of videos to determine whether they include a specific brand logo.
Those are jobs for machines.
And just as in the real world we have tools that make our lives easier, we should have tools to make our lives easier on the web.
Web automation has a profound impact. Our users automate service unsubscriptions to save people money, and they collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for AI training, protection of consumers, or finding lost children. We give AI chatbots the context to interact intelligently, and we're developing novel ways to work with generative AI like ChatGPT.

- Be on the ground : attend local events, run meetups, and build relationships across the Bay Area developer community
- Create polished demos, sample apps, and starter kits that showcase building with Apify
- Design and deliver hands‑on workshops, tutorials, and presentations at developer events
