Key responsibilities

  • Write technical thought leadership content, developer documentation, and performance benchmarks to demonstrate Parasail's capabilities.

  • Grow and engage the developer community through online platforms, events, and feedback collection.

  • Represent Parasail at industry events such as hackathons, conferences, and meetups to increase developer brand awareness.

Job description

Parasail is redefining AI infrastructure by enabling seamless deployment across a distributed network of GPUs, optimizing for cost, performance, and flexibility. Our mission is to empower AI developers with a fast, cost-efficient, and scalable cloud experience—free from vendor lock-in and designed for the next generation of AI workloads.

About the Role

This is an experienced individual contributor role and our first dedicated developer-facing hire. You'll write the technical thought leadership content, developer documentation, and performance benchmarks that show how Parasail performs and why it's built the way it is. You'll grow our presence in the communities developers already inhabit and bring what you hear back into engineering, product, and GTM. You'll work alongside our CEO's founder platform, with content and community efforts that amplify each other rather than compete.

What you’ll do

Technical content and developer documentation are the core focus. Community presence and events grow from that foundation.

  • Own developer-facing education and build developer trust. Own developer documentation and educational content, including tutorials, guides, demos, and long-form technical content (deep dives, benchmarks, visual essays) that establishes Parasail as a thought leader in inference. Partner closely with engineering and product on in-product DX and activation.

  • Grow a thriving developer community. Grow Parasail's developer community through consistent, high-quality touchpoints, including Discord, regular office hours, and an active presence in external communities (r/LocalLLaMA, Hacker News, target external Discords). Synthesize what you hear into a feedback loop that shapes engineering, product, and GTM priorities.

  • Increase developer brand awareness through industry events. Host and represent Parasail at hackathons, conferences, meetups, and other developer events.

What you’ll bring

  • 6+ years of combined software engineering, DevRel, and technical content experience; open to exceptional candidates with less experience if your portfolio is unusually strong

  • Strong technical fluency in inference, model serving, or adjacent infrastructure

  • Prior experience launching or growing a developer community

  • You've built AI workflows into your craft and it shows up in what you ship

  • Comfort working in ambiguity; you'd rather walk in with a thesis and adjust than wait for direction

Nice to haves

  • Relationships with AI builders, founders, and ML practitioners; you're already in the rooms (online and in person) where this audience lives

  • A signature piece of public work that's traveled: a popular newsletter, a long-form series that gets cited, a book, talks at conferences or meetups, or comparable signal

  • A track record of going deep on technically demanding problems through ML infra, backend or distributed systems work, open-source contributions, or a portfolio of technical writing, projects, and community work that demonstrates the same dept

What we offer

  • Competitive base + meaningful equity

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage

  • Generous PTO and company holidays

  • 401(k), Family Planning (Fertility)

  • Opportunity to work at the frontier of AI infrastructure
