Head of Developer Relations

Warp: We're Building the Platform for Agentic Development

Warp began with the vision of reimagining one of the fundamental dev tools—the terminal—to make it more usable and powerful for all developers. As AI has advanced, Warp has evolved beyond its terminal roots into the platform for Agentic Development: a workbench for dispatching agents to code, deploy, and debug production software.

With over 700k active developers and revenue that has grown over 20x this year so far, Warp is now one of the fastest growing startups in the exploding AI development space. We believe that soon developers will be “tech leads” for groups of agents; rather than opening a code editor to write code or a terminal to write commands, they will open Warp and prompt their computer to build features, fix bugs, and diagnose production issues.

With its starting point as a reimagined command line, Warp is well-positioned to support agent-first workflows: It sits at the lowest level in the dev stack, has access to all of a developer’s context, and is set up for multitasking and long-running processes. In addition, Warp has state-of-the-art code editing features and built-in team knowledge sharing. It’s the right interface for the agentic future.

Our mission has remained the same even as AI has advanced: to empower developers to ship better software more quickly, freeing them to focus on the creative and rewarding aspects of their work.

Why This Role?

Warp has built a product loved by early adopters, but we’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible. We’re now looking for a Head of Developer Relations to build and lead our developer community, shape how developers learn and engage with Warp, and amplify the voices of those building on top of it.

This role is about creating trust and excitement among developers. You’ll design and run programs that make Warp a natural hub for builders, from content and events to community programs and partnerships. You’ll be a key storyteller for Warp, and a connector between the developer ecosystem and our internal teams.

Developer Advocacy

• Be a visible and trusted face of Warp in the developer ecosystem.
• Engage directly with developers at conferences, panels, podcasts, livestreams, AMAs, and meetups.
• Build and nurture a strong community around Warp — from independent builders to enterprise champions.
• Organize and run hackathons, challenges, and workshops that inspire experimentation and showcase Warp’s potential.
• Cultivate relationships with developer influencers and open-source leaders, amplifying their work with Warp.

Content & Storytelling

• Produce highly technical content — videos, blogs, tutorials, demos — that demonstrates Warp in real developer workflows.
• Create resources that show how developers can extend Warp through SDKs, CLIs, integrations, and agents.
• Share content across channels (YouTube, Twitter/X, blogs, newsletters, podcasts) that sparks adoption and conversation.

Feedback & Collaboration

• Funnel community insights and developer feedback into Warp’s product, growth, and engineering roadmaps.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to create showcases and integrations.
• Partner with marketing and comms to bring a developer-first voice into campaigns and launches.

You May Be a Good Fit If You…

• Have 10+ years of experience in developer relations, developer experience, or technical product work, with demonstrated success in nurturing developer ecosystems.
• Are a developer who enjoys building and sharing your work, with an established online following or strong credibility in the community.
• Thrive on engaging with developers across channels — from conferences and meetups to online spaces like Discord, Slack, and Twitter/X — and are comfortable representing a product on stage, on camera, and in public forums.
• Create compelling technical content — tutorials, demos, blogs, or videos — that resonates with developers and drives adoption.
• Have experience advocating for developer tools, SDKs, and extensible platforms, and bring curiosity, pragmatism, and creativity to growing communities.
• Have participated in or organized hackathons, livestreams, and developer challenges that showcase real-world use cases.
