Developer Relations Manager - Perplexity API Platform

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.

• 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.

• Write tutorials, change logs, 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.

• 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.

• 4+ years in Dev Rel 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 work streams 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.
