Work EnvironmentTechnical support, community events, and outreach activitiesContent creation, public speaking, and online engagement

While both roles involve engaging with developers, the Developer Relations Engineer focuses on community support and relationship-building, whereas the Developer Advocate emphasizes content creation and public promotion of products. Both roles require technical skills and communication abilities, but their day-to-day activities differ in focus and approach.

What is a Developer Relations Engineer?

A Developer Relations Engineer, often called a DevRel Engineer, is a professional who acts as a bridge between a company’s technical teams and the broader developer community. Their role involves advocating for developers’ needs, creating technical content, providing feedback to product teams, and supporting developers in using the company’s tools or platforms. They may also speak at conferences, organize events, and help build a strong, engaged community around a product or technology. Ultimately, Developer Relations Engineers help ensure that developers have a positive experience and can successfully use and contribute to the company’s offerings.

How does a Developer Relations Engineer typically collaborate with product and engineering teams?

Developer Relations Engineers act as a bridge between external developer communities and internal teams. They regularly gather feedback from developers using the product and communicate this input to product managers and engineers to help guide feature development and bug fixes. Collaboration often includes attending product meetings, writing technical documentation, and sometimes contributing code or prototypes. This close interaction ensures that the product remains developer-friendly and that the concerns of the community are addressed promptly.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Developer Relations Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Developer Relations Engineer, you need a solid background in software development, technical writing, and public speaking, often supported by a degree in computer science or related field. Familiarity with APIs, SDKs, documentation platforms, and community engagement tools is typically required. Outstanding communication, empathy, and collaboration skills help you effectively engage and support developer communities. These competencies are crucial for building trust, fostering adoption, and ensuring a positive experience with your company's products.

Job description

Runware is transforming how developers build with AI by offering a powerful platform for advanced media generation - without the complexity of GPU management or scaling infrastructure. Our mission is to create an ecosystem where developers of all kinds can seamlessly integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities into their products.
We are looking for a Developer Relations Engineer who will become the face of Runware within the developer community - especially across events, hackathons, meetups, and conferences. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in community-driven environments, understands AI models deeply, and knows how to inspire developers through hands-on engagement.
Your focus is community presence, live demos, education, and real-world interaction.
  • Location: San Francisco Bay Area
  • Work setup: Work from home, with regular in-person participation in community activities and events.

You will work closely with the DevRel Lead and our Marketing & Events Lead to build a strong and active presence in the developer ecosystem.
About the role
As a Developer Relations Engineer focused on community and events, you will be the bridge between Runware's technology and the developers who use it. You'll represent Runware at in-person gatherings, lead workshops and demos, support developers as they build with our API, and help shape how the community experiences our platform.
Your work will directly influence how developers discover, understand, and adopt Runware's AI models. You'll be hands-on and expected to drive topics end to end as part of DevRel and Events strategy plans.
Responsibilities
  • Community & Events Leadership
    • Represent Runware at meetups, hackathons, conferences, and workshops across the Bay Area and beyond.
    • Deliver live demos, lightning talks, hands-on sessions, and technical walkthroughs.
    • Partner closely with the Marketing & Events Lead to plan, prepare, and execute community-focused initiatives.
    • Follow up with write-ups, recaps, or topic-driven posts that extend the conversation beyond the room and keep the community engaged online
    • Build and nurture a strong local AI developer community around Runware.

  • Developer Engagement
    • Support developers across Discord, GitHub, X/Twitter, Reddit, and other community channels.
    • Help developers integrate Runware's API, troubleshoot issues, and explore use cases.
    • Collect and synthesize developer feedback to inform product and engineering teams.

  • AI Expertise & Demonstrations
    • Develop a deep understanding of Runware's AI models - capabilities, limitations, and ideal use cases.
    • Create compelling demos, prototypes, and example projects that showcase real-world applications.
    • Maintain technical accuracy and clarity in all public interactions and presentations.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
    • Work with product, engineering, and marketing teams to translate new capabilities into community-ready demos and narratives.
    • Support product launches through event participation, live showcases, and developer outreach.

Requirements
    • Strong understanding of AI models, especially generative and media-focused systems.
    • Experience engaging with developer communities (DevRel, community management, open-source, hackathons, or similar).
    • Comfortable presenting, demoing, and speaking to technical audiences.
    • Ability to explain complex concepts clearly and accurately.
    • Collaborative mindset and ability to work across teams.
    • Comfortable working fully remotely while attending frequent in-person events.
    • Strong sense of ownership

  • Nice to have
    • Background in organizing or hosting developer events.
    • Startup experience or comfort in fast-moving environments.

Benefits
We're a remote-first collective, meeting in person twice a year to plan, brainstorm, celebrate wins, and enjoy some face-to-face time. We have core hours for cooperative working and calls, but outside of that your calendar is yours. Work the hours that let you perform at your peak while also building a healthy life.
Our release cycles are fast and intense, but they're followed by real downtime. After big pushes we expect the team to unplug, recharge, and come back ready & stronger than ever for the next leap.
  • Generous paid time off - vacation, sick days, public holidays
  • Meaningful stock options - share in the upside you create
  • Flexible hours - own your schedule outside core collaboration blocks
  • Family leave - paid maternity, paternity, and caregiver time
  • Company retreats - twice-yearly gatherings in inspiring locations
