Details
Perplexity’s APIs power the AI behind every Samsung on-device experience — across one billion devices — and are trusted by a growing roster of Fortune 500s. The platform includes Search API, Agent API, Embeddings, MCP server, and more. This role will own making Perplexity's API platform the default choice for developers building AI-native products.
Responsibilities
- Represent Perplexity's API platform at conferences, hackathons, and developer meetups as a credible builder who has shipped with the stack.
- Run workshops, AMAs, and webinars that go deep on the Search API, Agent API, Embeddings, and MCP server.
- Amplify developer projects publicly on social platforms and community channels (X, Discord, Reddit, etc.).
- Own developer forum, Discord, and Reddit presence — triage, moderate, and ensure high-signal questions are answered.
- Organize hackathons and build nights, covering prize scoping, API credit grants, live event support, and post-event ROI writeups.
- Convert repeated questions and friction points into docs updates, Cookbook examples, and improved onboarding; close the loop between community and product.
- Write tutorials, changelogs, and technical blog posts that are developer-forward and practical (not marketing copy).
- Build and maintain Cookbook examples (RAG pipelines, agent workflows, multi-provider SDK demos, n8n integrations, MCP starters) that developers can run on day one.
- Coordinate launch content across docs, social, Discord, and forum to ensure consistent, momentum-building API releases.
- Troubleshoot integrations with developers and synthesize those conversations into structured feedback for product and engineering.
- Monitor the competitive landscape and surface differentiation opportunities for GTM and product teams.
- Maintain the partner integration pipeline and help scale the Startups credits program beyond its current manual state.
Requirements
- 4+ years in Developer Relations or Developer Advocacy with measurable results (able to name campaigns and quote outcomes).
- Experience shipping code; comfortable with API integrations, SDKs, and modern web tooling. Able to read a diff, write working examples, and spot incorrect docs.
- Exceptional communication skills across formats (conference talks, changelog entries, forum replies, etc.).
- Operationally sharp: experience managing community platforms, running event logistics, and keeping multiple workstreams moving.
- Growth-minded: connects initiatives to business impact and has built or meaningfully improved a developer activation funnel.
- Collaborative: comfortable working at the intersection of product, engineering, and marketing and advocating for developer needs.
