Senior Developer Relations and Community Manager - Brave Search API
Location: Remote (USA and Europe)
Employment Type: Full-time
About Brave
Brave is building the independent search infrastructure for the AI era.
While others wrap Bing or Google APIs, we own our own global web index. This allows us to offer what Big Tech cannot: Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) guarantees, unbiased ranking, and total sovereignty.
Our Search API is currently powering the next generation of LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.). We are looking for a hybrid Product Marketer and Developer Advocate to own the GTM strategy for this platform.
You will bridge the gap between our engineering team and the developer market. You will not just market the product; you will demonstrate how to build with it.
Role Overview
This is not a marketing role. We don't need fluffy adjectives; we need technical truth. You will sit at the intersection Developer Community Relations and Product Strategy.
You will bridge the gap between our engineering team and the developer market. You will not just market the product; you will demonstrate how to build with it.
Key Responsibilities
- Developer Adoption and Enablement: Drive developer adoption of the Brave Search API by making it easy to get started and succeed. Own onboarding resources that reduce friction from first API call to production use.
- Technical Content and Education: Create high-quality technical content including tutorials, sample applications, reference architectures, and interactive notebooks. Demonstrate real-world use cases across LLM, RAG, and agentic workflows.
- Documentation and Developer Experience: Treat documentation as a core product surface. Continuously improve clarity, usability, and completeness to optimize “time to first successful API call” and overall developer experience.
- Ecosystem and Integrations: Expand Brave’s presence across the AI developer ecosystem by building and supporting integrations with key frameworks and platforms (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK). Ensure Brave is a first-class option in developer workflows.
- Community Engagement: Build and engage with the developer community across channels such as GitHub, X, Discord, and forums. Answer questions, surface use cases, and establish Brave as a trusted solution for AI builders.
- Product Feedback and Market Insight: Act as “Customer Zero” by testing new features, identifying gaps, and channeling direct developer feedback to Product and Engineering. Provide insights on developer needs, friction points, and competitive dynamics.
- Launch Support (Technical): Partner with Product Marketing to support launches by delivering the technical assets required for adoption, including demos, code samples, and documentation updates.
- Developer Funnel Optimization: Improve conversion from signup to active usage by identifying friction points in onboarding, SDK usage, and implementation. Use data and feedback to increase activation and retention.
Requirements and Qualifications
- You are T-Shaped: You are likely a former engineer turned marketer, or a PMM who learned to code. You understand that developers hate "marketing," but love solutions.
- Native Fluency in AI/Search: You know what RAG is. You understand the difference between lexical and semantic search. You know why context windows matter.
- Developer Empathy: You’ve wrestled with bad APIs, poor documentation, and rate limits.
- Proven Writing: You can write clear, concise copy for a landing page and technical copy for a whitepaper.
- Technical Chops: You are comfortable reading/writing Python or JavaScript. You can fire up a terminal to test a cURL request.
Bonus Points:
- Experience at "Developer Cult" companies (e.g., Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, HashiCorp, LangChain).
- Experience marketing data products or search infrastructure.
- An existing presence in the AI/LLM builder community.
Why Brave?
- Real Tech, No Slideware: We aren't selling a wrapper. We have our own crawlers, index, and serving stack.
- David vs. Goliath: We are the only viable alternative to the Big Tech search monopoly. The market needs us to win.
- High Impact: You will be the primary voice for a product used by millions of users and thousands of developers.
- Privacy First: We prove that you don't need to harvest user data to build a world-class business.
