In your first year you will: - **Ship reference implementations developers copy.** Working, maintained examples: MCP servers with production auth, gateway configurations, agentic workflows that do something a person would pay for. The bar is that someone builds on your code in production, not that it demos well. - **Teach people about agentic workflows.** Take a product being defined in real time and make it understandable through demos, posts, talks, and video that a skeptical senior engineer finds honest. You'll work directly with product and engineering while the thing is still moving. - **Make video a channel we're good at.** We built a recording studio this year and publish across YouTube, LinkedIn, X, and TikTok. You'd own the technical end: what to build on camera, and how to make a fifteen-minute build watchable. - **Improve DX by being the first user.** Build with our tools before customers do, then file the issue, send the docs PR, and fix the example. - **Represent us in public.** Conference talks, PyAI, livestreams, podcast episodes, and participation in MCP and Python AI communities as a practitioner rather than a booth. - **Bring the field back in.** You'll see what confuses people, what breaks, and what's missing before anyone else does. Turn that into product feedback our engineering team can act on. ### Your Qualifications #### Must have - 6+ years writing software professionally, strong Python desirable. This is an engineering role with a public-facing job attached. - A public body of technical work we can go read: repos, posts, docs, talks, or videos developers used. One excellent thing beats ten mediocre ones, and we'd rather see the artifact than hear it described. - You've built things with LLMs and agents (MCP servers, tool calling, agent frameworks, retrieval) and have opinions about what breaks once it's in front of users. - You're good on camera and on stage, or you've clearly got it in you and can show us something. Comfortable isn't enough; a lot of this job is being watched. - You can run as a team of one. You'll choose what to build, ship it, and tell us honestly whether it landed. Nobody is going to hand you a content calendar. #### Nice to have - You maintain or substantially contribute to a popular open-source project. - An existing developer audience: YouTube, X, Twitch, a newsletter, wherever. - Data engineering or orchestration background: Prefect, Dagster, Airflow, dbt. Half our community lives there. - You can hold a conversation with a platform or security engineer about SSO, RBAC, audit logs, and PII without changing the subject. Enterprise governance is where Horizon lives. ### Who this role is not for We'd rather you rule yourself out now than be unhappy in six months. - **You're looking to stop writing code.** If DevRel is how you'd like to transition out of engineering, this isn't the one. You'll read and write Python or other languages every week. - **You want to be a thought leader.** We're hiring people who build the thing and then explain it. If your last two years are conference talks with no shipped code behind them, we'll notice. - **You need a stable roadmap.** One of the products you'd be explaining is being designed while you explain it. That's the fun part or it's the dealbreaker; be honest with yourself about which. ### What You'll Get in Return **Base Salary Ranges:** - San Francisco Bay Area & NYC Metro: $165,000–$219,000 - Washington D.C., Boston, LA Metro, Seattle: $150,000–$194,000 - Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, & all other U.S. metros: $149,000–$193,000 Actual base salary within each range depends on the candidate's location, experience, and qualifications.
