Who this fits
This senior role suits someone who understands how developers communicate online and can represent the team on social every day. You'll work full-time on the accounts, alongside a small marketing team with little process. The role is onsite in New York.
From the employer
We are an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents.
We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer.
Our team is extremely talent-dense. Among our founding team, we have world-class competitive programmers, former founders, and leaders from companies at the cutting edge of AI including Scale AI, Palantir, Cursor, Waymo, Tesla, Lunchclub, Modal, Google DeepMind, and Nuro.
Building Devin is just the first step—our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s biggest problems and build AI that can reason on real-world tasks, apply to join us.
Role Mission
Developers hear about Devin mostly from other developers, and most of that happens on X and LinkedIn. Our social accounts are one of the most direct lines we have to the people we build for, and today they are run part-time by people with other jobs.
You will run them full-time. You decide what we post and when, show what Devin can actually do, answer people, and make sure our launches reach the developers who should see them. You will also work with creators and with paid social so good posts get more reach. This role needs someone who already knows how developers talk online and can represent us well there every day.
What You'll Accomplish
Run our accounts: Own Cognition and Devin on X and LinkedIn day to day: the calendar, the posts, the replies.
Show the product: Turn launches, demos, customer stories and research into posts developers want to share.
Be in the conversation: Respond to questions, engage with people building with Devin, and handle criticism directly and well.
Make launches travel: Plan the social side of every launch with the launch and creative teams.
Work with creators: Build relationships with developer and AI creators and coordinate with paid social and influencer programs.
Know what's working: Track reach and engagement in a simple way and adjust.
Exceptional Candidates Have Demonstrated
A track record on social: You've grown an account developers follow, whether your own or a company's.
Technical understanding: You create a Devin demo and communicate what's impressive about it, and explain it simply.
Clear, quick writing: Short, plain, and often funny. You know the difference between a post and a press release.
Judgment: You know what to post, what not to, and when to let something go.
Opinions: You have views on how we should show up online and you'd share them.
We care more about demonstrated capability than years of experience.
Resources & Environment
A product developers already talk about, and constant new material to post
Direct access to the founders, engineers and researchers behind it
A small marketing team with very little process
