[Hiring] Developer Relations Engineer @Runpod

Role Description

We are seeking a Developer Relations Engineer who codes, develops developer tools and resources to simplify building on Runpod, and transforms hands-on platform experience into technical demos and content that helps developers succeed. You'll build on Runpod the way our developers do, then channel what you learn into everything you create.

This role will greatly influence Runpod's expansion. Developer Relations transforms a quality product into essential tools and resources for developers, with you at the heart of this effort. Every demo you craft, tool you deploy, and integration you develop accelerates onboarding, reduces obstacles, and encourages developers to stay with Runpod.

What makes this role unique is the sense of ownership. You're not just executing someone else's plan; you're developing it. You'll select which tools and resources to create, determine the priorities for integrations and frameworks, and shape the initial experience developers have with Runpod. When you identify onboarding issues or gaps that a new framework could address, you're empowered to build the solution independently, without needing approval.

Responsibilities

• Build tooling, extensions, and plugins that improve the developer experience on Runpod, and instrument them so the impact is measurable.
• Deliver talks at developer and AI developer conferences, and build relationships with organizers and attendees.
• Spend time building as our users build, and surface any pain points and bugs you encounter along the way.
• Design and run programs that scale our core pillars: content, events, and community, so impact compounds over time.
• Show up consistently where developers are, build genuine relationships, and surface insights to Product and other relevant teams.

Qualifications

• Experience writing code in Python, JavaScript, or Go.
• Experience as a software engineer.
• Technically credible, able to build and demo real things on the platform and hold a deep technical conversation without a script.
• Experience creating technical content such as demos, docs, tutorials, or sample apps — for a developer audience.
• Track record of building integrations or contributing to open-source projects within an ecosystem (ML/AI frameworks, SDKs, tooling).
• Comfortable working with high autonomy, identifying gaps or friction points and shipping fixes without waiting for direction.
• Familiarity with GPU compute, ML infrastructure, or AI engineering workflows.
• The ability to regularly attend events and conferences in person.
• Able to speak publicly on behalf of a developer facing product.
• Successful completion of a background check.

Preferred

• A strong written voice, with recaps and posts that make people who weren't in the room feel like they missed something.
• The ability to create videos with a high level of technical depth.
• Familiarity with AI libraries and frameworks, agent frameworks, or ML infrastructure and GPU workloads.

Benefits

• The competitive base pay for this position ranges from $125,000 - $180,000.
• Meaningful equity in a fast-growing company — everyone on the team receives stock options.
• Generous medical, dental & vision plans — we cover 100% for all employees and partial for dependents.
• Flexible PTO - take the time you need to recharge.
• Most roles are remote work first with an inclusive, collaborative teams utilizing Slack as the main form of internal communication.
• $1,200 Home Office & Equipment Stipend - we set you up for success from day one with gear and support to create your ideal workspace.
