Job Summary

The Role

This is not a traditional Developer Relations job. Were looking for a builder with a voice a camera and strong opinions about voice AI who wants to be the developer-facing face of Rime.

Youll own how developers discover evaluate and fall in love with Rime. That means making things developers want to watch read share and try then showing up where developers are (online and in person) to actually have the conversations.

Youll work directly with the Head of Marketing and partner closely with our CEO product and engineering teams. Youll have unusual creative latitude. If developers and product owners in our ICP can evaluate TTS without running into your work we have not won.

Who you are
You probably have not done traditional DevRel before or you have and you want to burn that playbook. Youve likely been one of these:

  • A former founder or early engineer at an AI or dev tools startup who shipped product talked to users and built an audience along the way

  • A technical PMM whos tired of the deck-and-launch cycle and wants to be the one in the videos

  • A creator who happens to be technical with a real following on YouTube X TikTok or a Substack that developers actually read

  • A product person who realized their best work was the demo videos the threads the tutorials and now wants to do that full-time

Whats consistent: you publish. Frequently. You have a body of work we can watch and read right now. You can hold your own in a technical conversation with a senior engineer building a voice agent then turn around and explain it to a CTO. You have taste.

Who this is not for
  • People whose primary DevRel experience is at a large company where success looked like KPI dashboards and event budgets

  • People who want to manage a team or a community before theyve built an audience themselves

  • People without a public portfolio of video writing or social content

  • People who want a content calendar handed to them

What youll do

Youll propose the cadence. Were not going to tell you to ship two videos a week and a blog post every Tuesday. Bring us a plan for how youd make Rime unmissable to developers building with voice. We expect that plan to include some mix of:

  • Original video content (tutorials demos takes builds) on the platforms where voice AI developers actually spend time

  • Writing that engineers want to read on our blog and yours

  • Showing up at events (hackathons meetups conferences) and bringing back content from them

  • Real conversations with developers using Rime and the ones we want to win surfacing what you learn back to product

  • Building things with Rime in public including reference apps open-source tools and demos that get shared

What were looking for
  • 4 years working in or adjacent to AI voice or developer tools all of it at early or growth-stage startups

  • A public body of work: a YouTube channel a meaningful following on X or LinkedIn a Substack a GitHub or some combination where developers are the audience

  • Demonstrated ability to consistently get technical people to watch read and engage with what you make

  • Strong technical fluency. You dont need to be a senior engineer but you need to be able to build with our API debug a webhook and explain how a voice agent stack fits together

  • Comfort on camera and on stage

  • Sharp written voice

  • Founder energy. You can operate without a playbook prioritize ruthlessly and ship

At Rime we...
  • Are outliers

  • Cut through the hype to focus on the craft

  • Move fast with agency and freedom

  • Maintain a growth mindset finding joy in the struggle

  • Do the right things knowing that itll lead to making money

    If that sounds like you too youll be a great fit for Rime!
