Developer Relations Engineer

Role Description

We are looking for a Developer Relations Engineer who will become the face of Runware within the developer community — especially across events, hackathons, meetups, and conferences. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in community‑driven environments, understands AI models deeply, and knows how to inspire developers through hands‑on engagement.

Your focus is community presence, live demos, education, and real‑world interaction.

Location: San Francisco Bay Area

Work setup: Fully remote, with regular on‑site presence at community activities

You will work closely with the DevRel Lead and our Marketing & Events Lead to build a strong and active presence in the developer ecosystem.

As a Developer Relations Engineer focused on community and events, you will be the bridge between Runware’s technology and the developers who use it. You’ll represent Runware at in‑person gatherings, lead workshops and demos, support developers as they build with our API, and help shape how the community experiences our platform.

Your work will directly influence how developers discover, understand, and adopt Runware’s AI models. You'll be hands-on and expected to drive topics end to end as part of DevRel and Events strategy plans.

Responsibilities

• Community & Events Leadership
  • Represent Runware at meetups, hackathons, conferences, and workshops across the Bay Area and beyond.
  • Deliver live demos, lightning talks, hands‑on sessions, and technical walkthroughs.
  • Partner closely with the Marketing & Events Lead to plan, prepare, and execute community‑focused initiatives.
  • Follow up with write-ups, recaps, or topic-driven posts that extend the conversation beyond the room and keep the community engaged online.
  • Build and nurture a strong local AI developer community around Runware.
• Developer Engagement
  • Support developers across Discord, GitHub, X/Twitter, Reddit, and other community channels.
  • Help developers integrate Runware’s API, troubleshoot issues, and explore use cases.
  • Collect and synthesize developer feedback to inform product and engineering teams.
• AI Expertise & Demonstrations
  • Develop a deep understanding of Runware’s AI models — capabilities, limitations, and ideal use cases.
  • Create compelling demos, prototypes, and example projects that showcase real‑world applications.
  • Maintain technical accuracy and clarity in all public interactions and presentations.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration
  • Work with product, engineering, and marketing teams to translate new capabilities into community‑ready demos and narratives.
  • Support product launches through event participation, live showcases, and developer outreach.

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of AI models, especially generative and media‑focused systems.
• Experience engaging with developer communities (DevRel, community management, open‑source, hackathons, or similar).
• Comfortable presenting, demoing, and speaking to technical audiences.
• Ability to explain complex concepts clearly and accurately.
• Collaborative mindset and ability to work across teams.
• Comfortable working fully remotely while attending frequent in‑person events.
• Strong sense of ownership.

Nice to have

• Background in organizing or hosting developer events.
• Startup experience or comfort in fast‑moving environments.

Benefits

• Generous paid time off – vacation, sick days, public holidays.
• Meaningful stock options – share in the upside you create.
• Remote-first setup – work from home anywhere we can employ you.
• Flexible hours – own your schedule outside core collaboration blocks.
• Family leave – paid maternity, paternity, and caregiver time.
• Company retreats – twice-yearly gatherings in inspiring locations.
