Developer Marketing Lead

About the Role

As our Developer Marketing Lead, you will own how the developer world discovers, understands, and adopts You.com's web search APIs. You will sit at the intersection of product, DevRel, and marketing, turning our technical differentiation into developer awareness and inbound pipeline.

You will report directly to the CPO and work closely with our DevRel, product, partnerships and marketing teams. You own the developer narrative and the content engine that drives it.

This role is for someone who has shipped technical content that moved the needle, understands how developers evaluate and adopt APIs, and can build a presence in the AI developer community from a position of genuine technical credibility.

Responsibilities

• Own developer awareness across the full funnel: from first exposure on X or HN to first API call to production deployment
• Produce technical content that earns trust: benchmark analyses, integration tutorials, launch posts, and comparison guides written for an engineering audience
• Build and maintain a presence in the AI developer community on X, LinkedIn, and GitHub, engaging authentically and driving visibility to You.com's technical differentiation
• Execute co-marketing deliverables with customers and partners: joint blog posts, demos, co-branded tutorials, and social amplification
• Translate product launches into developer narratives with clear proof points and concrete use cases
• Work with our DevRel team to develop demo repos, example workflows, and integration guides that reduce time-to-first-call
• Instrument the developer funnel and use data to identify where awareness or activation breaks down
• Represent You.com at AI developer conferences, workshops, and community events

Qualifications

• Personally shipped technical artifacts (benchmark post, tutorial, integration guide, OSS project) that generated measurable inbound or community engagement
• Deep understanding of the developer evaluation loop for APIs: how developers discover, trial, and commit to infrastructure
• Active presence on X and LinkedIn with a technical audience
• Active GitHub presence
• Experience working alongside or within a partnerships motion, producing content and assets that support partner relationships
• Strong writing skills for technical audiences; can explain tradeoffs clearly without over-simplifying
• Data-driven approach to content prioritization: knows which outputs to double down on and which to cut
• Background as a developer, technical PM, or DevRel engineer; has built with APIs and understands what friction actually feels like
• Experience in AI infrastructure, developer tools, or API-first companies strongly preferred
• 20K+ followers across developer or AI-focused platforms is a plus

At You.com, we're thoughtful about how we use AI throughout our business — including our hiring process.

During certain stages of the interview process, we may use AI-powered tools to assist with administrative tasks such as scheduling, note-taking, transcription, or summarizing interview discussions. These tools are intended to support our interviewers by improving accuracy and efficiency — they do not make hiring decisions or replace human judgment.

All employment decisions are made by our recruiting team and hiring managers based on a holistic review of each candidate and applicable evaluation criteria.

If AI-assisted note-taking or transcription may be used during your interview, we will notify you in advance. If you prefer not to participate in an interview that uses these tools, you may opt out by informing your recruiter before your scheduled interview. We will work with you to provide an alternative interview experience where reasonably practicable.

Information collected during the hiring process is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. By continuing with the application process, you acknowledge that you have read this notice. If AI-assisted tools are used during your interview and you have not opted out after receiving notice, you consent to their use as described above, where permitted by applicable law.
