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. We went from a single Sonar API to a full platform: Search API, Agent API, Embeddings, and more. That growth didn't happen by accident, and it isn't slowing down.

We're looking for the person who will own the next chapter: making Perplexity's API platform the default choice for developers building the next generation of AI-native products.

What You'll Own

Be the face of Perplexity's API platform

• Represent our APIs at conferences, hackathons, and developer meetups — not as a booth rep, but as a credible builder who has shipped with our stack.

• Run workshops, AMAs, and webinars that go deep on the Search API, Agent API, Embeddings, and MCP server.

• Amplify developer projects publicly — on X, Discord, Reddit, and wherever the best builders congregate.

Build and operate the community

• Own our developer forum, Discord, and Reddit presence — triage, moderate, and make sure no high-signal question goes unanswered.

• Organize hackathons and build nights. Handle everything from prize scoping and API credit grants to live event support and post-event ROI writeups.

• Convert repeated questions and friction points into docs updates, Cookbook examples, and better onboarding — close the loop between community and product.

Ship developer education that actually works

• Write tutorials, changelogs, and technical blog posts that developers forward to each other — not marketing copy dressed up as docs.

• Build and maintain Cookbook examples: RAG pipelines, agent workflows, multi-provider SDK demos, n8n integrations, MCP starters — things developers can run on day one.

• Coordinate launch content across docs, social, Discord, and forum so every API release lands consistently and builds momentum.

Translate developer signal into product reality

• Sit with developers to troubleshoot integrations — 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.

About You

• 4+ years in DevRel or Developer Advocacy with measurable results — you can name the campaigns and quote the outcomes.

• You've shipped code. Comfortable with API integrations, SDKs, and modern web tooling. You can read a diff, write a working example, and spot when docs are wrong.

• Exceptional communicator across formats — conference talk, changelog entry, Reddit reply — all in the same day.

• Operationally sharp. You've managed community platforms, run event logistics, and kept multiple workstreams moving without things falling through the cracks.

• Growth-minded. You connect every initiative to business impact and you've built or meaningfully improved a developer activation funnel.

• Collaborative by default. You thrive at the intersection of product, engineering, and marketing — and you're comfortable pushing back when developer needs aren't being met.
