You probably have not done traditional DevRel before, or you have and you want to burn that playbook. You've likely been one of these: • A former founder or early engineer at an AI or dev tools startup, who shipped product, talked to users, and built an audience along the way • A technical PMM who's tired of the deck-and-launch cycle and wants to be the one in the videos • A creator who happens to be technical, with a real following on YouTube, X, TikTok, or a Substack that developers actually read • A product person who realized their best work was the demo videos, the threads, the tutorials, and now wants to do that full-time What's consistent: you publish. Frequently. You have a body of work we can watch and read right now. You can hold your own in a technical conversation with a senior engineer building a voice agent, then turn around and explain it to a CTO. You have taste.
• People whose primary DevRel experience is at a large company, where success looked like KPI dashboards and event budgets • People who want to manage a team or a community before they've built an audience themselves • People without a public portfolio of video, writing, or social content • People who want a content calendar handed to them
You'll propose the cadence. We're not going to tell you to ship two videos a week and a blog post every Tuesday. Bring us a plan for how you'd make Rime unmissable to developers building with voice. We expect that plan to include some mix of: • Original video content (tutorials, demos, takes, builds) on the platforms where voice AI developers actually spend time • Writing that engineers want to read, on our blog and yours • Showing up at events (hackathons, meetups, conferences) and bringing back content from them • Real conversations with developers using Rime and the ones we want to win, surfacing what you learn back to product • Building things with Rime in public, including reference apps, open-source tools, and demos that get shared
• 4+ years working in or adjacent to AI, voice, or developer tools, all of it at early or growth-stage startups • A public body of work: a YouTube channel, a meaningful following on X or LinkedIn, a Substack, a GitHub, or some combination, where developers are the audience • Demonstrated ability to consistently get technical people to watch, read, and engage with what you make • Strong technical fluency. You don't need to be a senior engineer, but you need to be able to build with our API, debug a webhook, and explain how a voice agent stack fits together • Comfort on camera and on stage • Sharp written voice • Founder energy. You can operate without a playbook, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship
• Are outliers • Cut through the hype to focus on the craft • Move fast with agency and freedom • Maintain a growth mindset, finding joy in the struggle • Do the right things, knowing that it'll lead to making money If that sounds like you too, you'll be a great fit for Rime!
