About the role

Developer Relations Lead at Zyphra responsible for building and scaling the open-source developer community around Zyphra’s models and Maia, acting as the primary face of the company to the global developer community across platforms and events.

Responsibilities

  • Owning the development, expansion, and moderation of Zyphra’s developer community end-to-end across all public channels including Discord, GitHub, and Hugging Face while also growing our developer brand across X, LinkedIn, and other technical channels
  • Representing Zyphra at AI conferences, developer summits, open-source events, academic forums, and community meetups: speaking, demoing, and building relationships that expand our reach and credibility in the developer ecosystem
  • Driving GitHub adoption metrics across Zyphra’s open-source model repositories: stars, forks, issues, pull requests, and active contributor velocity as direct measures of ecosystem health
  • Acting as the primary feedback channel between Zyphra’s developer community and the research and product teams, synthesizing what developers are building, where they are getting stuck, and what would unlock the next wave of adoption across modalities
  • Building and executing a community growth strategy that converts each model release into sustained developer engagement: launch moments, contributor programs, ambassador networks, and structured onboarding for new community members
  • Driving API consumption and model usage, helping developers understand what Zyphra’s models and agent can do, where they are differentiated, and how to get started quickly and successfully
  • Creating and curating technical content that serves the community: integration guides, benchmark comparisons, use-case demos, deployment walkthroughs, and example projects that showcase what developers can build on Zyphra’s open foundation models and inference infrastructure
  • Partnering with the GTM team on model launch strategy, open-source announcements, and developer-facing go-to-market motions that maximize community impact at each release

Qualifications

  • A genuine community participant, you have built with open-source AI models, understand how developers think about evaluating and integrating foundation models, and can speak credibly in technical conversations with researchers and engineers
  • 3–6 years of experience in developer relations, developer advocacy, open-source community management, or a closely related technical role at an AI, ML, or developer tools company
  • Demonstrated track record of building or meaningfully growing a technical developer community measured in GitHub engagement, Discord or Slack membership, social following, or conference presence
  • Comfort and credibility on stage: you have spoken at developer conferences, hosted workshops, or led technical demos in front of audiences of engineers
  • Strong technical foundation in AI and machine learning, you understand model architecture, inference, fine-tuning, and deployment well enough to engage authentically with the developers building on Zyphra’s models and Maia
  • A natural communicator who can explain highly technical concepts clearly across formats: live presentations, written posts, short-form social content, and one-on-one developer conversations
  • Self-directed and energized by building from scratch, you thrive in early-stage environments where the community platform, the content calendar, and the ambassador program all need to be created
  • Deep familiarity with the open-source AI ecosystem: the platforms developers use, the communities they participate in, the events they attend, and the voices they trust
