Lead Developer Evangelist Rime Ai
San Francisco, CA - USA
Job Summary
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.
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
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
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
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
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!
