AI Developer Advocate

San Francisco, CA

About Imbue

Imbue is a radically different AI company. We believe that data should belong to you, humans should come before technology, and everyone deserves to own a personal team of AI agents. We believe in a future of open agents that you can modify to do exactly what you want. We’re building a suite of tools to make tech serve humanity, and making it open source. 

Some first projects include

  • mngr: A command-line tool for managing agents 
  • Vet: A standalone tool that catches AI coding mistakes and reviews full PRs 
  • Offload: A tool that automatically distributes your tests to run in isolated sandboxes 
  • Latchkey: A command-line tool to integrate local agents with third-party APIs 
  • Darwinian Evolver: A near-universal optimizer for code and agents 

And we’re just getting started. If you’re excited about building a future with open agents, say hi! 

We're supported by investors like Nvidia, Simon Last (co-founder of Notion), and Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google), with $200M raised at over $1B valuation.

About the Role

You’ll be the conduit between Imbue's products and the developer communities they empower — helping us reach builders, curious engineers, and early adopters to build a strong and engaging community. This is the company’s first developer advocate role. You’ll experiment with different content types, community channels, and help shape how open software is created in the age of AI. You live on the internet. Not metaphorically, you're genuinely plugged in across every platform that matters. You’re specifically active on all things AI and Agent Tech Twitter and you’ve explored OpenClaw, ideally from its beginnings as Clawd.

We aim to make Imbue a beloved brand in developer communities, and you'll be a driving force behind that. As the voice of our company, and our founders, you’ll write and publish content to elevate our presence in a playful, and proactive direction (check out our launch video!)

Our message is simple and worth fighting for: technology is meant to serve humans, not the other way around. Your job is to make the world hear it.

 

What You'll Do

Own our channels!

  • Evangelize what we’re building and why it matters on X(Twitter), GitHub, LinkedIn, Hacker News, and across developer forums.
  • Help shape conversations around Imbue’s developer tools. Posting, engaging, replying, and building community in real time, all the time.
  • Manage and grow our X account as a primary channel for reaching developers, founders, and technical builders.

Build content 

  • Evangelize Imbue’s mission, software, and features. Turn the technical details of what we build into relatable messaging, video demos, use case examples, and stories that developers trust.
  • Create documentation that is accurate and useful. Improve onboarding, nurtures, and our documentation structure to set new users up for success and reduce friction.
  • Write on behalf of Imbue’s technical co-founders, Kanjun and Josh, and help them build personal brands that amplify the mission.
  • Identify opportunities and drive adoption to Imbue’s open source projects on GitHub. Enrich ReadMe’s, jumpstart discussions, raise issues, and foster growth to help our repos trend within the platform.

You are someone who

  • Lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area!
  • Worked as a software engineer at a tech startup or regularly contributes to open source
  • Enjoys building communities and wants to shape the future of software, together 
  • Regularly hacks, builds, and tries the latest coding agents, tools, and features on day one of release
  • Thinks and writes in posts: you're always noticing things that would make sharp, punchy content
  • Gets excited about turning complex technical ideas into accessible and fun stories

Compensation and Benefits

  • Company paid medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents
  • $250 lifestyle stipend per month
  • Flexible PTO
  • Lunch provided daily for onsite employees
  • Support for self-improvement: coaching, courses, and conferences
  • Company offsites—past locations include NYC, Santa Cruz, Hawai'i, and Tokyo
  • Frequent team events, dinners, and fun activities
  • Compensation packages are highly variable based on a variety of factors. If your salary requirements fall outside of the stated range, we still encourage you to apply. The salary range for this role is $140,000–$200,000 USD.

How to apply

All submissions are reviewed by a person, so we encourage you to include notes on why you're interested in working with us. If you have any other work that you can showcase (open source code, side projects, etc.), certainly include it! We know that talent comes from many backgrounds, and we aim to build a team with diverse skillsets that spike strongly in different areas.
 
We try to reply either way within a week or two at most (usually much sooner).

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
