AI Community Engineer

About The RoleWe’re looking for someone who can’t stop building with AI and can’t stop showing people what they’ve built.You’re probably the kind of engineer who spends your evenings wiring agents together just to see what breaks. Your GitHub is full of experiments that are half-finished by traditional standards, but fully alive in your head. You’ve already built something with multi-agent systems, orchestration flows, or LLM pipelines passing work between each other and the first thing you did wasn’t polish it, it was demo it.You don’t wait for things to be “ready.” You ship the weird version, the messy version, the “this might break” version, because that’s where the learning is. And then you talk about it. A lot.About The TeamYou sit close to our AI engineering team, where real features are being built and shipped. This is your technical home base, you’re not just observing what we’re building, you’re inside it, using it early, breaking it early, and helping shape how it evolves. You’ll also work closely with Marketing, but only to amplify what’s already real, not to manufacture it.What You'll DoContent & Community (50% of your time)Write about what you actually built, what worked, what broke, and what surprised youShow up in AI-native engineering communities where people are actively figuring things out in real timeJump into conversations early, before consensus exists, and share what you’re learning as you goWork with Marketing to amplify your work, without slowing down how fast you share itEvents & Representation (25% of your time)Go to meetups and conferences with live demos that are still evolvingSpend time in SF and global engineering communities where AI-native builders are actively experimentingShow up regularly, not just to speak, but to demo, learn, and exchange ideasHelp CircleCI stay present in the conversations that are defining how AI systems are actually being builtTechnical Work (25% of your time)Use CircleCI’s AI features before anyone else doesBuild alongside our AI team so your content is grounded in real systems, not theoryPush on new capabilities by trying to break them early and oftenStay close to the edge of what’s possible so you can talk about it crediblyHow You'll WorkYou move fast and independently, deciding what’s worth sharing and whenYou’re trusted to represent CircleCI in public spaces with good judgmentYou don’t wait for permission, you find interesting things and make them visibleWho You AreYou’re earlier in your career but already deep in AI-native buildingYou’ve shipped experiments with agents, orchestration, or LLM-driven systems, even if they were scrappyYou have strong opinions about how AI systems should be structured, and you’re not shy about sharing themYou write and demo because it’s how you think, not because it’s assignedYou'll Stand Out If You HaveA GitHub full of AI experiments that you actively share or demoExperience posting technical content while you’re still building itA presence in AI or builder communities where people recognize your work or ideasUnited States Base Pay Range$153,000—$191,000 USDWe will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.
