Developer Relations Engineer

Zep is building the long-term memory layer for the LLM application stack. With a growing open source community (2K+ ⭐️) and recently launched cloud service, we're seeking an exceptional developer relations engineer to accelerate adoption among developers and help shape our roadmap.

In this highly visible role, you'll engage with the developer community across multiple channels - writing technical content, delivering presentations, creating sample apps/demos, and fielding inquiries. You'll work cross-functionally to deeply understand Zep's products and convey their value propositions.

We are a remote-first organization, but given the gravity of AI community in the SF Bay Area, we strongly prefer you are local or a short plane ride away.

Zep is funded by YC, Engineering Capital, and angels such as Guillermo Rauch (Vercel).

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain relationships with Zep's developer community through online channels, events, and conferences
• Create technical content, including blog posts, tutorials, and documentation, to help developers understand and adopt Zep's technology
• Build proof-of-concept applications and demos showcasing Zep's capabilities and integration with popular LLM frameworks
• Deliver presentations and workshops to educate and inspire developers about Zep's offerings
• Engage with the Zep community to gather feedback, identify pain points, and surface opportunities for improvement
• Collaborate with Zep's product and engineering teams to shape the product roadmap based on community insights
• Monitor and contribute to relevant online communities, forums, and social media channels
• Alongside Daniel (Zep’s founder), represent Zep at industry events, meetups, and hackathons to evangelize our technology and build brand awareness
• Develop and maintain a deep understanding of Zep's technology, competitive landscape, and target developer personas

Required Skills and Experience:

• 3+ years experience in developer relations, developer advocacy or similar role
• 5+ years software development experience, with Python and TypeScript proficiency
• Background in open source software development and communities
• Hands-on experience building LLM apps with LangChain and other LLM frameworks
• Exceptional technical writing and verbal communication skills
• Ability to build trust and nurture relationships across teams and communities
• Self-motivated with a passion for exploring new technologies
• Based in US, though SF Bay Area is preferred. Willing to travel periodically.

Desired Skills and Experience:

• Public speaking experience at major tech conferences/events
• Network and relationships with influencers and thought leaders in the AI/ML space
• Experience with developer marketing, product marketing, or go-to-market strategies
• Understanding of AI/ML model training, optimization, deployment
• Ability to code in multiple languages beyond Python/TypeScript

This is a unique opportunity to help define developer relations for cutting-edge AI technology. You'll increase your visibility by engaging the LLM ecosystem. If building prototypes, creating content, speaking at events, and shaping AI's future excites you, apply with your resume and 2-3 samples of technical writing/presentations.

2. Technical interview/workshop (Founder & engineers)
3. Demo a project you’ve built OR technical case study
