Developer Relations ($140k-$190k + Equity) at Blaxel

Blaxel is a seed-stage infrastructure startup building the serverless cloud for AI agents, backed by First Round Capital and Y Combinator. Founded by repeat entrepreneurs who sold their previous company to Europe's largest cloud provider, Blaxel provides persistent sandboxes and microVMs with sub-25ms cold starts across 16 global regions.

About the role

As the founding Developer Relations lead at Blaxel, you will own the end-to-end developer experience, from technical documentation to community growth. You’ll define the playbook for developer adoption in an AI-native world, shipping high-quality code examples and technical deep-dives while leveraging AI automation to scale your impact across global communities.

Why this role is remarkable

• You will write the playbook for Developer Relations in an era where half your developers are AI agents using the product directly.
• Backed by tier-1 investors like First Round and YC, Blaxel is led by founders with a proven exit to a major cloud provider.
• High-growth environment with zero churn and significant revenue already generated from AI agents, offering massive autonomy and a path to lead the function.

Responsibilities

• Author authoritative, deep-dive technical content on stateful serverless, sandboxing, and enterprise agent architecture by interviewing core engineers.
• Own the developer journey including documentation, runnable code tutorials, and integration guides that demonstrate the platform's performance capabilities.
• Grow and manage the Blaxel developer community on Discord and at events, acting as the primary technical bridge between users and product.

Requirements

• A builder-first technical expert who can read complex codebases and ship working integration examples using containers, VMs, and cloud infrastructure.
• Highly autonomous writer capable of translating complex latency and infrastructure problems into clear, engaging, and technically accurate documentation.
• AI-native practitioner who uses LLMs as a force multiplier for automation while maintaining a deep understanding of the underlying technical trade-offs.
