Lead Developer Evangelist - Rime Ai

Unusual Ventures
Unusual Ventures Salary
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/17/2026

The Role

This is not a traditional Developer Relations job. We're looking for a builder with a voice, a camera, and strong opinions about voice AI, who wants to be the developer-facing face of Rime.

You'll own how developers discover, evaluate, and fall in love with Rime. That means making things developers want to watch, read, share, and try, then showing up where developers are (online and in person) to actually have the conversations.

You'll work directly with the Head of Marketing and partner closely with our CEO, product, and engineering teams. You'll have unusual creative latitude. If developers and product owners in our ICP can evaluate TTS without running into your work, we have not won.

Who you are
You probably have not done traditional DevRel before, or you have and you want to burn that playbook. You've likely been one of these:

  • A former founder or early engineer at an AI or dev tools startup, who shipped product, talked to users, and built an audience along the way

  • A technical PMM who's tired of the deck-and-launch cycle and wants to be the one in the videos

  • A creator who happens to be technical, with a real following on YouTube, X, TikTok, or a Substack that developers actually read

  • A product person who realized their best work was the demo videos, the threads, the tutorials, and now wants to do that full-time

What's consistent: you publish. Frequently. You have a body of work we can watch and read right now. You can hold your own in a technical conversation with a senior engineer building a voice agent, then turn around and explain it to a CTO. You have taste.


Who this is not for
  • People whose primary DevRel experience is at a large company, where success looked like KPI dashboards and event budgets

  • People who want to manage a team or a community before they've built an audience themselves

  • People without a public portfolio of video, writing, or social content

  • People who want a content calendar handed to them


What you'll do

You'll propose the cadence. We're not going to tell you to ship two videos a week and a blog post every Tuesday. Bring us a plan for how you'd make Rime unmissable to developers building with voice. We expect that plan to include some mix of:

  • Original video content (tutorials, demos, takes, builds) on the platforms where voice AI developers actually spend time

  • Writing that engineers want to read, on our blog and yours

  • Showing up at events (hackathons, meetups, conferences) and bringing back content from them

  • Real conversations with developers using Rime and the ones we want to win, surfacing what you learn back to product

  • Building things with Rime in public, including reference apps, open-source tools, and demos that get shared


What we're looking for
  • 4 years working in or adjacent to AI, voice, or developer tools, all of it at early or growth-stage startups

  • A public body of work: a YouTube channel, a meaningful following on X or LinkedIn, a Substack, a GitHub, or some combination, where developers are the audience

  • Demonstrated ability to consistently get technical people to watch, read, and engage with what you make

  • Strong technical fluency. You don't need to be a senior engineer, but you need to be able to build with our API, debug a webhook, and explain how a voice agent stack fits together

  • Comfort on camera and on stage

  • Sharp written voice

  • Founder energy. You can operate without a playbook, prioritize ruthlessly, and ship


At Rime, we...
  • Are outliers

  • Cut through the hype to focus on the craft

  • Move fast with agency and freedom

  • Maintain a growth mindset, finding joy in the struggle

  • Do the right things, knowing that it'll lead to making money

    If that sounds like you too, you'll be a great fit for Rime!
