What are the responsibilities and job description for the Member of Technical Staff - Developer Relations position at Liquid AI?
About Liquid AI
Spun out of MIT CSAIL, we build general-purpose AI systems that run efficiently across deployment targets, from data center accelerators to on-device hardware, ensuring low latency, minimal memory usage, privacy, and reliability. We partner with enterprises across consumer electronics, automotive, life sciences, and financial services. We are scaling rapidly and need exceptional people to help us get there.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to sit at the intersection of frontier foundation models and the open-source ecosystem. You'll own developer relations and community engagement end-to-end, shaping how LFMs are adopted, documented, and integrated across the AI landscape. Unlike most roles that force a trade-off between community impact and core technical work, this role gives you both: deep ownership over how our models are presented, documented, and adopted by the community, and a direct line into how Liquid communicates with developers worldwide. If you care about great documentation, developer experience, and making models accessible to the broader community, this is a chance to shape how open-source AI is done at a foundation model company.
