About the role

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.

Responsibilities

  • Support technical sales conversations: Join customer and partner calls, help with technical discovery, answer product questions, and explain how Brave Search API can fit into different products and AI workflows.
  • Run demos and build proof-of-concepts: Create demos, small apps, notebooks, and examples that show how to use Brave Search API for search, RAG, LLM apps, agents, and other use cases customers care about.
  • Help customers get started: Work with prospects and customers as they move from first API call to a working integration. Identify where they get stuck and help remove those blockers.
  • Improve sales and onboarding materials: Create and maintain technical guides, demo scripts, sample code, integration notes, FAQs, and comparison materials that help customers evaluate the product.
  • Work with Product and Engineering: Bring back clear feedback from customers, including missing features, confusing docs, common implementation issues, pricing questions, and competitive gaps.
  • Improve the developer experience: Help make the docs, examples, API onboarding, and setup flow easier to use.
  • Support integrations: Help Brave show up well in the tools AI developers already use, such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, and similar frameworks.
  • Support launches: Work with Product Marketing when needed, mostly by providing the technical pieces: demos, docs, examples, and clear explanations of what changed.

Requirements and Qualifications

  • Technical sales experience: You have worked with prospects, customers, partners, or technical buyers before.
  • Hands-on technical ability: You can read and write basic Python or JavaScript, test an API with cURL or Postman, and build simple examples without needing an engineer to do it for you.
  • AI and search knowledge: You understand RAG, LLMs, agents, context windows, search APIs, and the difference between lexical and semantic search.
  • Developer credibility: You know what makes APIs frustrating to use.
  • Clear communication: You can explain technical ideas in plain language.
  • Good internal follow-through: You can take what customers are saying and turn it into useful feedback for Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing.

Bonus points for experience in sales engineering, solutions engineering, developer platforms, API products, search infrastructure, AI tools, or data products.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to drive developer growth for a cutting-edge API product in a high-growth company.
  • Remote flexibility with a collaborative, results-oriented culture.
  • Competitive salary, benefits, and professional development opportunities.
