Spice AI is looking for a Developer Relations Lead

Full Time Lead Hybrid United States Sales Marketing Marketing Developer Relations Product Marketing Technical Writing Community Building Open Source English Hybrid work

Building data-driven AI applications and agents is too complex, even for advanced developers. At Spice AI, we’re making it simpler by helping developers combine code, data, and AI to build truly intelligent, decision-making systems. Our mission is to make this as easy as creating a modern web page.

We created Spice.ai OSS, a portable AI database written in Rust with a unified SQL interface to query, materialize, and accelerate data from any source, co-located with machine learning models. By bringing compute, data, and models together, Spice OSS enables secure AI-Feedback-Loops (AI-Fly-Wheels) for apps and agents to learn and adapt. We just announced the 1.0-stable release of Spice.ai OSS.

For a deeper dive into the vision, watch Luke's CMU Databases talk on Spice.ai OSS at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyM-ec1lKfU and read his Materialized View interview at https://materializedview.io/p/building-a-cdn-for-databases-spice-ai.

We're also building the Spice.ai Cloud Platform, offering managed, cloud-scale Spice.ai OSS along with tools for high-performance SQL, machine learning training, and inference in an interconnected AI backend-as-a-service.

At Spice AI, we hire for MEI: Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence. We're looking for exceptional, top-tier engineers - A players - who are driven to solve hard problems and push the boundaries of what's possible for AI.

The Developer Relations Lead at Spice AI will be a key technical advocate for Spice.ai OSS and the Spice.ai data and AI platform. You will enjoy being one of the public technical faces of Spice AI, responsible for leading and executing developer relations and product marketing.

As the first DevRel hire, you will be creating and sharing meaningful content, like for the Spice.ai data and AI compute-engine, including samples and tutorials, documentation, or even core pull-requests when required. You'll directly engage with developers through social media, blogs, and at events, providing insights and support, and collecting feedback that you'll use to directly influence what we build. Your work will directly contribute to building a supportive and collaborative developer community around Spice AI and technologies we use like Apache Arrow, DataFusion, Iceberg, and DuckDB.

You've done this before. Your participation in relevant projects will have previously earned you the respect of open-source and engineering communities. You have published excellent written content, marketing materials, and documentation.

Along with oustanding communication, marketing, and written skills, this role requires a solid technical background, especially in data and ML, and a genuine passion for helping other developers succeed.

You new opportunity

Be one of the technical faces of Spice AI.

Work side-by-side with the CEO to develop, lead, and execute on all areas of Spice AI's DevRel and Developer Marketing strategy.

Develop and maintain sample applications and demos to showcase Spice AI capabilities.

Participate actively in developer forums, events, and conferences.

Own Spice AI's open-source blog and documentation.

This role may be a great fit if

You are a proven, hands-on technical thought leader.

You have and enjoy building a developer audience in open-source and social communities.

You enjoy the process of writing and crafting high-quality written content.

You are a creative problem solver and approach solutions from different angles, focusing on possibility, rather than limitations.

When faced with ambiguity, you are a guiding north star and provide clarity to the team.

You are passionate about high performance and have high standards.

This experience is ideal

4-6 years of proven experience in developer relations, advocacy, product marketing, or a similar role.

Experience managing social media platforms and creating engaging digital content.

Leadership skills with the ability to inspire and grow a technical community.

Experience in startups, open-source projects, AI/ML, data platforms, and distributed systems.

Your first 90-days

Days 0-30: Learn and use Spice.ai OSS and the Spice.ai data and AI platform, building at least one end-to-end demo and contributing written pieces to newsletters, blog.spice.ai, blog.spiceai.org, and X/LinkedIn.

Days 31-60: Work with the CEO to develop Spice AI's DevRel and Product Marketing strategy for 2025.

Days 61-90: Take ownership of the execution and success of DevRel, Developer Marketing, and associated assets and channels.

This is a hands-on role. Expect to join the all team, including the CEO, in building, developing, and marketing the platform.
