Lavendo - Developer Advocate, AI Infrastructure (SF)
Requirements
• A real, active presence on X/Twitter — original content, real engagement, no ghost accounts • Either a developer advocate/evangelist background at a comparable AI infrastructure startup, or a degree from a top technical program (Stanford, Berkeley, MIT) • Direct experience engaging with developers — not just marketers or technical stakeholders • Comfort with basic coding: installing packages, running commands, building small demos (no production code required) • Natural extroversion — you genuinely like being at events, on camera, and in the mix; this can't be faked • Key Success Drivers • The strongest candidates tend to fall into one of two lanes: a naturally social, technically curious grad from a top program who'd rather build fun demos than grind on deep engineering, or an established developer advocate from a peer-tier AI infrastructure startup. What matters most is a track record (or clear potential) of genuine community engagement — organizing meetups, speaking at events, posting original content people actually respond to. A startup background is important; candidates with only large-company experience tend to be a harder fit here. • Portfolio Review — a deeper conversation walking through your content, talks, or community work (this can replace a formal assessment if you've got a strong portfolio) • Leadership Chat — a conversation with senior leadership • Final Chat — a culture and fit conversation, which may also double as an offer discussion
Responsibilities
• Build and grow an authentic voice for the company on X/Twitter — real engagement over follower count • Show up at (and help organize) the developer meetups, hackathons, and talks that matter in the SF AI scene • Get hands-on with the product: build simple demos and workflows using basic coding skills (Python, vibe-coding comfort) • Represent the company on stage and on camera at technical events • Build genuine relationships with developers, founders, and other advocates in the community
Benefits
• Base salary of $150,000–$250,000, with the range set intentionally wide to reward exceptional candidates regardless of experience level • Equity of 0.1%–0.2%, with flexibility to weight more toward equity or more toward salary depending on what matters to you • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; unlimited PTO; daily catered lunch • A flat, high-autonomy culture built for people who want ownership, not layers of approval • Direct facetime with senior leadership as part of the process — this isn't a role buried in a large org chart • The chance to become a recognizable name in one of the fastest-growing corners of the AI developer world • Interviewing Process • Hiring Manager Chat — a quick intro conversation to get to know you and your background • Hiring Manager Chat • Portfolio Review — a deeper conversation walking through your content, talks, or community work (this can replace a formal assessment if you've got a strong portfolio) • Portfolio Review • Leadership Chat — a conversation with senior leadership • Leadership Chat • Final Chat — a culture and fit conversation, which may also double as an offer discussion • Final Chat
