Developer Marketing Lead

San Francisco, CA (Hybrid)

About Us

At You.com, we are building the AI Search Infrastructure that powers modern AI systems. Our goal is to create the trusted knowledge layer that agents, applications, and enterprises rely on to retrieve real-time, accurate, and citation-backed information.

Our platform combines proprietary vertical indexes with LLM-optimized retrieval systems to power AI agents, applications, and enterprise workflows. We are solving hard problems across search, large language models, and large-scale infrastructure to make AI systems more reliable, transparent, and useful.

Our team includes engineers, researchers, product builders, and operators who care about solving meaningful problems and delivering real-world impact. Whether you are improving core infrastructure, shaping product experiences, or helping bring new AI capabilities to market, your work will help define how modern AI finds and uses knowledge.

About the Role

As our Developer Marketing Lead, you will own how the developer world discovers, understands, and adopts You.com's web search APIs. You will sit at the intersection of product, DevRel, and marketing, turning our technical differentiation into developer awareness and inbound pipeline.

You will report directly to the CPO and work closely with our DevRel, product, partnerships and marketing teams. You own the developer narrative and the content engine that drives it.

This role is for someone who has shipped technical content that moved the needle, understands how developers evaluate and adopt APIs, and can build a presence in the AI developer community from a position of genuine technical credibility.

Responsibilities

  • Own developer awareness across the full funnel: from first exposure on X or HN to first API call to production deployment
  • Produce technical content that earns trust: benchmark analyses, integration tutorials, launch posts, and comparison guides written for an engineering audience
  • Build and maintain a presence in the AI developer community on X, LinkedIn, and GitHub, engaging authentically and driving visibility to You.com's technical differentiation
  • Execute co-marketing deliverables with customers and partners: joint blog posts, demos, co-branded tutorials, and social amplification
  • Translate product launches into developer narratives with clear proof points and concrete use cases
  • Work with our DevRel team to develop demo repos, example workflows, and integration guides that reduce time-to-first-call
  • Instrument the developer funnel and use data to identify where awareness or activation breaks down
  • Represent You.com at AI developer conferences, workshops, and community events

Qualifications

  • Personally shipped technical artifacts (benchmark post, tutorial, integration guide, OSS project) that generated measurable inbound or community engagement
  • Deep understanding of the developer evaluation loop for APIs: how developers discover, trial, and commit to infrastructure
  • Active presence on X and LinkedIn with a technical audience
  • Active GitHub presence
  • Experience working alongside or within a partnerships motion, producing content and assets that support partner relationships
  • Strong writing skills for technical audiences; can explain tradeoffs clearly without over-simplifying
  • Data-driven approach to content prioritization: knows which outputs to double down on and which to cut
  • Background as a developer, technical PM, or DevRel engineer; has built with APIs and understands what friction actually feels like
  • Experience in AI infrastructure, developer tools, or API-first companies strongly preferred
  • 20K+ followers across developer or AI-focused platforms is a plus

 

Our salary bands are structured based on a combination of geographic tiers and internal leveling. Compensation is determined by multiple factors assessed during the interview process, with the final offer reflecting these considerations.

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.
