About the Role

We’re hiring a Developer Relations Associate to champion the builders and startups defining the future of open AI. Ideal for a junior developer or software engineering graduate who wants to work across engineering, product, and community.

You will support and grow the Featherless ecosystem across the US — from students and researchers to indie builders and early-stage founders. This is a hybrid technical and GTM role where you help developers deploy open-source models, support hackathons, build lightweight demos, and help shape how the European builder community adopts Featherless.

This role blends technical fluency and real-world community presence. You’ll represent Featherless in Europe and online and get to meet with AI builders, creators, and founders who share our belief in open, accessible intelligence.

• Empower developers: Help students, researchers, model creators, and early-stage AI startups deploy and scale their projects on Featherless.

• Grow the ecosystem: Expand Featherless’s network of builders, labs, and university communities across Europe.

• Build and share: Help create small examples, demos, starter templates, or reference integrations that show what’s possible with open models.

• Represent Featherless: at hackathons, community events, and developer showcases.

• Collect feedback: Act as the voice of the developer community — surfacing insights that shape our roadmap and improve the developer experience.
  

What You Bring

• Background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent technical experience.

• Comfortable with Python or JavaScript and testing APIs, SDKs, or integrations.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.

• Organized and reliable — able to manage multiple responsibilities independently.

• Bonus: experience in hackathons, dev clubs, student labs, OSS projects, or early-stage startups.

Why Featherless

• Work directly with founders and engineers on cutting-edge AI.

• Operate in a high-velocity, technically deep startup where your work has immediate impact.

• Build demos and developer tools that reach real users across the world.

• Gain exposure to product, DevRel, GTM, partner programs, and technical operations.
