Developer Evangelist

SF Bay Area (Hybrid)

Parasail is redefining AI infrastructure by enabling seamless deployment across a distributed network of GPUs, optimizing for cost, performance, and flexibility. Our mission is to empower AI developers with a fast, cost-efficient, and scalable cloud experience—free from vendor lock-in and designed for the next generation of AI workloads.

The Developer Evangelist and Community Advocate will be Parasail’s public technical voice and community catalyst, meeting developers where they are, online and in person. From answering deep-dive questions about model inference on r/LocalLLaMA to demoing live at AI model meetups, you’ll translate complex GPU-hosting concepts into clear, actionable guidance. Your feedback loop with engineering will ensure our platform evolves with real-world needs, while your outreach will grow a vibrant ecosystem around Parasail.

What You’ll Do

  • Spot & join the conversation – Actively monitor targeted subreddits, Hacker News threads, Discord servers, and other channels; jump in with helpful, technically sound answers (and tactful Parasail mentions where appropriate).
  • Create high-impact content – Draft tutorials, sample repos, blog posts, and short videos that demystify model deployment, cost tuning, and distributed inference on GPUs.
  • Cultivate our Discord – Moderate, answer questions, and spark discussions; run AMAs and office hours with our engineers.
  • Be on the ground – Represent Parasail at meetups, hackathons, and conferences; give talks, staff booths, and gather use-case intel.
  • Build alliances – Form relationships with maintainers of leading OSS AI projects and influential community moderators; explore co-marketing or integration opportunities.
  • Channel insights back – Synthesize community feedback and surface common pain points, shaping our product roadmap and documentation.
  • Measure & grow – Track engagement metrics (Discord activity, GitHub stars, referral traffic, etc.) to iterate and expand our reach.

Who You Are

  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • 3–7 years in developer advocacy, solutions engineering, or a similarly outward-facing technical role.
  • Hands-on experience with GPU/ML inference workflows (Kubernetes or similar a plus).
  • Proven online presence: you’ve participated responsively and respectfully on Reddit, Hacker News, Twitter/X, or Discord for a technical brand or OSS project.
  • Comfortable speaking on stage, writing long-form posts, and distilling advanced topics for audiences ranging from CTOs to hobbyists.
  • Active in multiple online AI communities
  • Self-starter who can juggle multiple channels, prioritize community questions, and thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.

Nice to Have

  • Having Run Hackathons 
  • 2-5 background in coding (Java, Python, C++, Go, etc) 
  • Track record of conference speaking or workshop facilitation.
  • Familiarity with analytics tools (Orbit, Common Room, Google Analytics) to quantify community health.
  • Used AI Tools to advance community outreach 
  • Connections in the open-source AI / MLOps ecosystem.

Why Join Parasail

This is a chance to shape the conversation around next-gen AI infrastructure and own Parasail’s community strategy from day one. You’ll collaborate directly with our CEO and engineering leads, influence the product through real-time user insights, and build a worldwide network of developers who rely on Parasail to power their most ambitious workloads. As one of our early hires, your impact will be visible not only in our growth metrics but in the culture and voice of the company itself.

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.
