About the role

Boson AI is hiring its first Developer Relations Manager to own the developer journey from first hearing about Higgs to shipping a production voice agent. The role combines hands-on development, technical evangelism, and developer ecosystem management in a hybrid Santa Clara HQ setting.

Responsibilities

  • Make the first hour great. Own the quickstarts, notebooks, sample apps, and API walkthroughs that take a developer from an API key to first audio in minutes, and then on to a production-quality application
  • Build reference applications that show what Higgs makes possible: real-time voice and avatar agents, STT + LLM + TTS pipelines, multilingual and expressive speech, streaming low-latency apps, and drop-in migrations from the OpenAI Realtime API
  • Own our ecosystem integrations, including Pipecat, LiveKit, Twilio and SIP telephony, and SGLang and vLLM. Take each one from first prototype to maintained, documented, and announced
  • Be our technical voice in public. Write blog posts, record demo videos and livestreams, give talks, and run workshops and hackathons
  • Show up where developers are, on GitHub, Hugging Face, X, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Answer questions, triage issues on our open-source repos, and build a community around Boson AI, including a home for it
  • Help developers make good tradeoffs: quality vs. latency vs. cost, open weights vs. hosted API, self-hosting vs. managed, and how to handle streaming, tool calling, turn-taking, and multilingual behavior
  • Be the voice of developers inside Boson. Turn recurring friction into prioritized, tracked fixes with product, research, and engineering. That friction includes unclear docs, missing SDKs, API rough edges, deployment blockers, pricing questions, and model limitations
  • Make every launch land. Own the developer side of model and API releases: launch-day docs, samples, release notes, demos, and community follow-through
  • Define and report the metrics that show what is working, such as time to first audio, activation, integration adoption, and community growth

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in developer relations, developer advocacy, solutions engineering, or software engineering, with a public track record of technical content, open-source work, or talks
  • Strong Python, plus working comfort with JavaScript or TypeScript, REST and WebSocket APIs, and async and streaming code
  • Hands-on experience building and shipping applications on AI APIs or models, such as LLM, speech, or vision
  • Clear, engaging technical writing and speaking, with examples you can share
  • The judgment to prioritize across content, community, and product feedback, and to work independently in a fast-moving startup
  • Ability to use agentic AI efficiently in your work, so you can deliver at superhuman level.

  • Total compensation includes base pay, equity, and benefits
  • Hybrid work schedule with at least three days in the Santa Clara HQ
  • Potential travel up to 20% for conferences, hackathons, and partner events
