WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

The Developer Relations team at Box inspires and equips developers to build the next generation of intelligent content-driven applications. We're looking for a Developer Relations Engineer to help drive developer awareness and engagement — driving developer adoption that converts to pipeline. You'll be the face of Box in developer communities, on conference stages, and across content channels. You won't just create content; you'll measure what drives demos and optimize relentlessly. Content-driven AI workflows is an emerging category without an established playbook — you'll help define how developers discover and talk about it.

You’ll have one strategic objective, drive developer awareness. The responsibilities below reflect our current thinking - but we expect you to challenge, refine, and evolve these tactics as you learn what resonates. What matters is developer reach and interest; how you get there is yours to shape. When developers think about content in their AI workflows, they should think about Box.

WHAT YOU'LL DO 

• Drive content production : Own the pipeline from ideation to publication (technical blog posts, webinars, demo videos, case studies). Work with engineering for technical depth; you own the output.
• Own events and speaking : Attend and deliver talks at developer and AI engineering conferences. Own the event strategy, build relationships with organizers, and partner with GTM on lead capture and follow-up.
• Connect to the ecosystem : Build extensions and plugins for popular AI libraries and frameworks and measure the impact.
• Embed in developer communities: Show up where AI engineers talk shop. Surface insights to Product and GTM weekly; turn community presence into inbound interest.
• Own onboarding content: Ship improvements based on friction you discover. Docs are a conversion lever, you're accountable for their quality.
