Developer Advocate

ABOUT EXA

We raised a $250M Series C to build the search engine for AIs. Led by a16z, with existing investors Benchmark, Lightspeed, and YC doubling down, the round brings Exa's valuation to $2.2 billion.

Exa is building a search engine for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers Agents, Fortune 500s and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasn't been disrupted since the 90s. We're a largely SF-based team of ~100 from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, ex-founders & dropouts alike.

We are looking for a Developer Advocate who builds real things with our API and can make other developers want to build them too.

You should already be building with LLMs, agents, and retrieval, and you should be able to talk to a staff engineer about where their pipeline is failing without hedging. Communication is the other key. We need someone who does both building and presenting, with good taste for production values both on stage and in videos.

You'll work closely with the Head of DevRel on community and ecosystem programs, and with Technical PMM on repurposing what you build into content for SEO and AEO.

This role is in-person, at either our San Francisco HQ or in New York office.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

DEMOS AND REFERENCE APPLICATIONS

Own a growing library of working code that shows Exa at its best: reference agents, integration examples, and demos built for specific developer use cases. Success is measured by usage, forks, and whether ...
