Founding DevRel Engineer

TL;DR

We are hiring a founding DevRel Engineer for Nozomio, the context augmentation layer for AI agents. You will write content, documentation, and you will be the face of Nozomio for developers. You will define how AI engineers think about context, MCP servers, and agentic coding. You will own DevRel end to end and over time build the function around you.

About Nia and Nozomio

Nozomio is applied product and research lab. Our flagship product Nia is a context augmentation layer for AI agents, primarily coding agents. It indexes entire codebases, documentation, and external sources so agents always have the right context instead of guessing. Nia plugs in as an MCP server into tools like Cursor, Cline, and other coding agents, giving them a persistent, searchable, up-to-date knowledge base.

Today, agents are very good at generating code but still bad at knowing which repo, package, or doc to look at. Context, not generation, is the bottleneck. Nia exists to solve that bottleneck so agents reach near superhuman code intelligence.

Nozomio is backed by Y Combinator and recently raised a 6.2M seed round from CRV, BoxGroup, LocalGlobe, YC, 20VC, and angels such as Paul Graham, Thomas Wolf, Gustav Söderström, and Gokul Rajaram.

We are building a very small, very strong team in San Francisco. The goal is to hire a small number of exceptional people before IPO, not scale to thousands.

About the role

You will be the first person at Nozomio dedicated to developer relations. You will blend engineering, storytelling, and product sense to make Nia the default way agents get context.

You will:

• A Twitter account is required. You will post several times a day. Yes. You will be paid for posting memes.
• Own and level up all public documentation
  • Turn the Nia docs and examples into the reference for context engineering and MCP-based agents
• Ship high signal content
  • Deep technical blog posts on context augmentation, MCP, and agentic workflows
  • Opinionated threads and posts about how to actually use coding agents with external context
• Create video content and memes that actually teach
  • Short, sharp demos of Nia in real workflows
  • Meme-y content that still has technical depth
• Engage deeply with the community
  • Be present in Discord, GitHub, and X, answering questions and collecting sharp feedback
• Help define what DevRel means in the age of agents
  • Use Nia itself as your co-pilot for research and content
  • Prototype weird, high-leverage projects that grow the Nia ecosystem in non-obvious ways

You will work directly with Arlan in person in San Francisco. This is not a passive content role. You will be close to product decisions, customer calls, and roadmap.

What we are looking for

Must:

• You are an engineer who likes to teach
  • Comfortable reading and writing code in at least one of: TypeScript, Python, or similar
• Strong technical background
  • Software engineering, data science, or ML experience (bachelors in CS, masters, etc.)
• You have taste in content
  • You can tell the difference between fluff and something that makes a senior engineer stop and think
• Excellent writing in English
  • Clear, direct, and opinionated, not corporate. NOT AI SLOP.

Nice to have:

• You already create content (10k+ on X, 100k+ on TikTok, etc.)
  • Blogs, Twitter threads, YouTube, TikTok, conference talks, or newsletters
• You are deep in AI engineering
  • You use Cursor, Claude, agents, MCP servers, or similar tools in your own workflow
• Strong opinions on agent UX and context
  • You have thoughts on how agents should retrieve context, index code, and avoid hallucinations
• Prior DevRel, DX, or product engineering experience is a plus but not required

Why Nozomio

This is not a 9-5. I'm here to build generational software, and that requires dedication, grit, and a willingness to go all-in.
