Role Description

Join CircleCI as an engineer who thinks out loud. You'll spend your days solving real problems on our AI team, then sharing what you learn with the broader engineering community. This isn't traditional developer relations—it's engineering work that happens to be public.

You'll work directly with an Engineering cohort, while collaborating with Marketing on timing and reach. Our AI team is your technical home base, where you'll contribute to real features and stay connected to the challenges engineers face daily. You'll have the autonomy to chase interesting problems and the support to amplify your voice.

• Content & Community (75% of your time)
  • Write blog posts, tutorials, and analysis that other engineers actually want to read
  • Build relationships in 3-5 engineering communities where your perspective matters
  • Jump on timely industry topics with substantive takes, not hot takes

• Technical Work (25% of your time)
  • Contribute to CircleCI's AI team on features that ship to production
  • Be the first user of new AI-powered capabilities
  • Keep your technical skills sharp and your content grounded in reality

How you'll work

Qualifications
