Developer Advocate

Developer Advocate

At Wafer, we are building AI systems that automatically optimize inference workloads across silicon. Wafer is well funded and serves trillions of tokens a month for mission-critical workloads at fast-growing AI startups.

Developers reach Wafer through our API and through routers like OpenRouter and Vercel AI Gateway. Every new open model is a race to be the fastest place to run it.

We're looking for a Developer Advocate: an engineer who can write and a marketer who can build. You'll make Wafer the obvious choice for developers who need fast inference, by showing them with real code and real numbers.

About Wafer

Infinitely Resourceful

Responsibilities

• Ship launch content for every new model we serve: posts, benchmarks, code samples and demos, often within hours of a release.
• Build examples, integrations and tutorials that show developers what fast inference makes possible, such as coding agents, voice agents and real-time apps.
• Turn our performance work into content developers trust: benchmarks with clear methodology and deep dives on how we make models fast.
• Own our docs and developer experience. Find the rough edges in onboarding and fix them, or get them fixed.
• Be Wafer's voice in developer communities: X, Hacker News, Discord, Reddit, meetups and conferences.
• Bring what developers tell you back to product and engineering.

Requirements

• You are an engineer. You have built real things with LLM APIs and can write production-quality sample code.
• You write clearly and quickly. You can show us posts, videos, docs or talks that developers actually read.
• You have an audience in AI, infrastructure or developer tools, or a track record of building one.
• Technical depth on inference helps: latency, throughput, quantization and why one provider is faster than another.
• You are credible with skeptical engineers. You defend a benchmark with data and concede the point when they are right.
• You work without a spec and ship continuously.
• How we evaluate
• Exceptionalism
• Unreasonable Standards
• Company Over Self
• Learns Quickly
• First Principles Thinker

• Covered Uber/Waymo from/to office.
• Visa sponsorship available.
• On-site in San Francisco, five days a week. Small team with massive surface area and ownership. You operate with complete autonomy of how to solve problems.
