Developer Advocate
At Wafer, we are building AI systems that automatically optimize inference workloads across silicon. Wafer is well funded and serves trillions of tokens a month for mission-critical workloads at fast-growing AI startups. Developers reach Wafer through our API and through routers like OpenRouter and Vercel AI Gateway. Every new open model is a race to be the fastest place to run it. We're looking for a Developer Advocate: an engineer who can write and a marketer who can build. You'll make Wafer the obvious choice for developers who need fast inference, by showing them with real code and real numbers.
What you'll do:
- Ship launch content for every new model we serve: posts, benchmarks, code samples and demos, often within hours of a release.
- Build examples, integrations and tutorials that show developers what fast inference makes possible, such as coding agents, voice agents and real-time apps.
- Turn our performance work into content developers trust: benchmarks with clear methodology and deep dives on how we make models fast.
- Own our docs and developer experience. Find the rough edges in onboarding and fix them, or get them fixed.
- Be Wafer's voice in developer communities: X, Hacker News, Discord, Reddit, meetups and conferences.
- Bring what developers tell you back to product and engineering.
- What we look for
- You are an engineer. You have built real things with LLM APIs and can write production-quality sample code.
- You write clearly and quickly. You can show us posts, videos, docs or talks that developers actually read.
- You have an audience in AI, infrastructure or developer tools, or a track record of building one.
- Technical depth on inference helps: latency, throughput, quantization and why one provider is faster than another.
- You are credible with skeptical engineers. You defend a benchmark with data and concede the point when they are right.
- You work without a spec and ship continuously.
