Developer Relations Manager

Los Angeles, California, United States; San Francisco, California, United States

Genies is building the next generation of gamified, immersive experiences powered by AI avatars and UGC. Our mission is to empower developers and creators with tools to build personalized, intelligent, and expressive experiences using Genies' Avatar Framework and UGC tools.

As we gear up to launch our developer platform publicly and roll out integrations with Unity later this year, we’re hiring a Developer Relations Manager to help drive our external developer initiatives, test and evolve our tools, and support the next wave of creators building in the Genies ecosystem.

This role is ideal for someone deeply embedded in and passionate about the developer community, experienced with Unity or similar game engines, and excited to be both a technical advocate and strategic connector. You’ll act as a bridge between developers and Genies’ internal product, engineering, and marketing teams - helping us drive adoption, inspire new use cases, and shape the future of our platform. 

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Drive external developer engagement: Build and cultivate a high-impact developer evangelist program to drive adoption of Genies’ developer and UGC tools.
  • Be the face of Genies to developers and creators: Represent Genies at conferences, meetups, livestreams, and online communities to support and inspire the next wave of creators.
  • Support Genies x Unity partnership roadmap: Collaborate with game developers and internal Unity teams as we launch our Unity integration - including tooling walkthroughs, onboarding support, and live feedback sessions.
  • Support major IP & partner initiatives: Onboard developers and creators building games, social experiences, and UGC for upcoming Genies-powered platforms tied to top-tier entertainment, sports, and gaming IP.
  • Develop testing initiatives to improve tools: Work closely with internal product and engineering teams to organize testing initiatives for Genies' SDKs and UGC tools - surfacing feedback, documenting developer pain points, and optimizing onboarding workflows.
  • Create technical resources: Contribute to product documentation, sample projects, and internal knowledge bases to support onboarding and experimentation.
  • Drive collaboration across functions: Partner with internal teams to prioritize product feedback, shape go-to-market strategies, and support content marketing initiatives such as blogs, tutorials, demo videos, and events.

What You Should Have:

  • 4–7 years experience in Developer Relations, Community Engineering, Technical Evangelism, or similar roles supporting developer ecosystems
  • Familiarity with Unity or Unreal Engine and experience supporting game developers or technical creators
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical topics clearly and compellingly
  • Experience testing and providing feedback on SDKs, APIs, or tooling used by external developers
  • Passion for working directly with developer and creator communities and helping them succeed
  • Ability to build developer-facing resources such as tutorials, documentation, sample projects, or technical blog posts
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally with engineering, product, and marketing teams
  • Bonus: experience launching or scaling developer community programs from the ground up

Why You’ll Love This Role:

  • You’ll be part of a tight-knit startup team with a big vision and a product that sits at the intersection of AI, gaming, and UGC.
  • You’ll get to influence how developers create the next generation of gamified social experiences — with hands-on input into the tools and community shaping that future.
  • You’ll have autonomy to build meaningful programs and touch every part of the developer journey, from education to enablement to evangelism.
  • You’ll have the opportunity to work hands on with unique partners across tech, gaming, entertainment, sports, and music - Genies has an official partnership with Unity, and will be announcing our talent and IP partners very soon 
  • You'll work with a team that you’ll be able to learn from and grow with, including support for your own professional development
  • You'll be at the helm of your own career, shaping it with your own innovative contributions to a nascent team and product 
  • You'll enjoy the culture and perks of a startup, with the stability of being well funded 
  • Comprehensive health insurance for you and your family (Anthem + Kaiser Options Available), Dental and Vision Insurance
  • Competitive salaries for all full time employees 
  • Unlimited paid time off, sick time, and paid company holidays, in addition to paid parental leave, bereavement leave, and jury duty leave for full-time employees
  • Health & wellness support through programs such as monthly wellness reimbursement 
  • Working in a brand new, bright, open-environment and fun office space - there’s even a slide! 
  • Choice of MacBook or windows laptop

Starting Salary: $100K - $140K

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
