Founding Developer Advocate

Overview

Confident AI is building the infrastructure that makes AI trustworthy. We created DeepEval, the open-source evaluation framework, and we're building the commercial platform that engineering teams use to ship reliable AI products. We have strong product-market fit, a developer community that's growing fast, and teams actively choosing us.

We're looking for a Founding Developer Advocate to own the developer experience from first touch to activation — across both our open-source framework and our commercial platform. You'll create the content, build the community, and represent us at events alongside the founding team.

This is a founding role with a seat at the table. You'll have full freedom to decide what to build, what to say, and how to say it. You won't be executing someone else's content calendar — you'll define the strategy and own the results. When developers tell you something about the product isn't working, you're in the room changing the roadmap, not filing a ticket.

What you'll be doing

• Own developer content strategy and execution across both DeepEval (open-source) and the Confident AI platform (commercial product). These are distinct products with different audiences and different adoption paths — you'll understand both and create content that serves each.
• Create onboarding content, demo videos, tutorials, and technical walkthroughs that help developers get value from the product fast.
• Build and grow our developer community. Be present in the forums, Discord channels, GitHub discussions, and social platforms where our users spend time. Engage with them as a peer, not a marketer.
• Represent Confident AI at developer events, meetups, and conferences alongside the founders. We're all out there building relationships and talking to developers — you'll be a key part of that.
• Write technical blog posts, thought leadership, and sharp content that positions us as the authority in AI evaluation and testing infrastructure. Real insight, not recycled takes.
• Be the voice of the developer internally. You'll have direct influence on product decisions based on what you're hearing from the community.
• Own competitive positioning in developer conversations. Make sure we show up in every discussion where engineering teams are evaluating AI infrastructure solutions.
• Coordinate with the founding team on product launches across both open-source and commercial products.

You should be someone who

• 3+ years of experience in developer relations or developer advocacy at a developer tools, open-source, or infrastructure company. This is non-negotiable — the autonomy we're offering requires that you've done this before and done it well.
• Has an existing network in the developer tools and AI community. You know people, and people know you. When you vouch for a product, it carries weight.
• Understands the difference between open-source community building and commercial product marketing, and can navigate both authentically.
• Can actually write — clear, sharp technical content that developers respect, not marketing copy they scroll past.
• Comfortable on camera and on stage. You'll be producing video content and speaking at events regularly — this isn't optional.
• Proficient with AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor as part of your daily workflow.
• Technical enough to understand the product deeply and speak credibly to engineering teams about AI evaluation, testing, and observability.
• Self-directed and high-agency. You don't wait to be told what to do — you identify what matters, make a plan, and ship.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration. We're a seed-stage startup; the playbook doesn't exist yet.

Your work will

• Be the reason developers go from signing up to becoming active, engaged users of both DeepEval and the Confident AI platform.
• Shape how the developer community perceives us and the category we're defining.
• Directly influence product direction based on what you're hearing from developers every day.
• Build the community and content engine that scales with the company from seed to market leader.

By joining us, you will

• Full autonomy: You own the strategy. We're not hiring you to follow a playbook — we're hiring you to write it.
• A seat at the table: Direct access to the founding team, influence on product decisions, and a voice in company strategy.
• The problem: You'll work on the problem that makes all other AI work trustworthy. The impact ceiling here is massive.
