Manage developer relations and community for Brave Search API, focusing on technical content, developer enablement, and product strategy.

Responsibilities

  • Developer Adoption and Enablement: Drive developer adoption of the Brave Search API by making it easy to get started and succeed. Own onboarding resources that reduce friction from first API call to production use.
  • Technical Content and Education: Create high-quality technical content including tutorials, sample applications, reference architectures, and interactive notebooks. Demonstrate real-world use cases across LLM, RAG, and agentic workflows.
  • Documentation and Developer Experience: Treat documentation as a core product surface. Continuously improve clarity, usability, and completeness to optimize “time to first successful API call” and overall developer experience.
  • Ecosystem and Integrations: Expand Brave’s presence across the AI developer ecosystem by building and supporting integrations with key frameworks and platforms (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK). Ensure Brave is a first-class option in developer workflows.
  • Community Engagement: Build and engage with the developer community across channels such as GitHub, X, Discord, and forums. Answer questions, surface use cases, and establish Brave as a trusted solution for AI builders.
  • Product Feedback and Market Insight: Act as “Customer Zero” by testing new features, identifying gaps, and channeling direct developer feedback to Product and Engineering. Provide insights on developer needs, friction points, and competitive dynamics.
  • Launch Support (Technical): Partner with Product Marketing to support launches by delivering the technical assets required for adoption, including demos, code samples, and documentation updates.
  • Developer Funnel Optimization: Improve conversion from signup to active usage by identifying friction points in onboarding, SDK usage, and implementation. Use data and feedback to increase activation and retention.

Requirements

  • You are T-Shaped: You are likely a former engineer turned marketer, or a PMM who learned to code. You understand that developers hate "marketing," but love solutions.
  • Native Fluency in AI/Search: You know what RAG is. You understand the difference between lexical and semantic search. You know why context windows matter.
  • Developer Empathy: You’ve wrestled with bad APIs, poor documentation, and rate limits.
  • Proven Writing: You can write clear, concise copy for a landing page and technical copy for a whitepaper.
  • Technical Chops: You are comfortable reading/writing Python or JavaScript. You can fire up a terminal to test a cURL request.

Nice to have

  • Experience at "Developer Cult" companies (e.g., Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, HashiCorp, LangChain).
  • Experience marketing data products or search infrastructure.
  • An existing presence in the AI/LLM builder community.

Conditions

  • Opportunity to drive developer growth for a cutting-edge API product in a high-growth company.
  • Remote flexibility with a collaborative, results-oriented culture.
  • Competitive salary, benefits, and professional development opportunities.
  • Compensation in the United States is $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 DOE
  •  

Other

  • Location: Remote (USA and Europe)
  • Employment Type: Full-time
  • Brave is building the independent search infrastructure for the AI era.
  • While others wrap Bing or Google APIs, we own our own global web index. This allows us to offer what Big Tech cannot: Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) guarantees, unbiased ranking, and total sovereignty.
  • Our Search API is currently powering the next generation of LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.). We are looking for a hybrid Product Marketer and Developer Advocate to own the GTM strategy for this platform.
  • You will bridge the gap between our engineering team and the developer market. You will not just market the product; you will demonstrate how to build with it.
  • This is not a marketing role. We don't need fluffy adjectives; we need technical truth. You will sit at the intersection Developer Community Relations and Product Strategy.
  • You will bridge the gap between our engineering team and the developer market. You will not just market the product; you will demonstrate how to build with it.
  • Real Tech, No Slideware: We aren't selling a wrapper. We have our own crawlers, index, and serving stack.
  • David vs. Goliath: We are the only viable alternative to the Big Tech search monopoly. The market needs us to win.
  •  High Impact: You will be the primary voice for a product used by millions of users and thousands of developers.
  • Privacy First: We prove that you don't need to harvest user data to build a world-class business.
