About the role

ZeroEntropy is building the next-generation retrieval engine for AI systems. We’re rethinking search from the ground up: faster, more accurate, and built to serve as infrastructure for the next decade of AI.

We already have serious technical momentum and real usage. Now we want the best developer experience in the category. Clear docs. Beautiful demos. A community that feels alive. Content that engineers actually want to read and share.

This role owns that.

The role

You will be the voice and surface area of ZeroEntropy to developers.

You will shape how developers discover us, understand what we do, try the product, and stay engaged. That spans content, community, product feedback loops, and occasional collaborations and events. The exact mix will evolve with what is working, and you will have a lot of autonomy to choose the highest leverage work.

What we are looking for

This is a technical role. You do not need to be an ML researcher, but you do need strong engineering instincts and comfort going deep.

You are likely a fit if you have:

  • Technical background: you can read code, use APIs, build small prototypes, and explain complex systems clearly.
  • Startup appetite: you move fast, operate with ambiguity, and enjoy building the machine while running it.
  • Deep love for developers: you respect developer culture, know what high signal feels like, and genuinely enjoy being in the community.
  • High quality content taste: you can produce writing and demos that are crisp, honest, and technically accurate, not fluffy marketing.
  • Strong communication: you can turn messy technical details into clean narratives, and turn developer feedback into product clarity.

Bonus points:

  • You have built or run developer communities before.
  • You have shipped content that consistently reached engineers (blogs, threads, talks, open source, tutorials).
  • You have experience in devtools, infra, ML systems, search, or data tooling.

What success looks like

  • Developers quickly understand what makes ZeroEntropy special.
  • Trying the product feels effortless.
  • Content and demos are memorable and widely shared.
  • The community is high signal and growing.
  • Developer feedback consistently translates into product improvements.

Location

In person in San Francisco preferred. Remote ok.
