At Anakin, we’ve built an early-stage API product designed for speed, experimentation, and real developer feedback.
We’re looking for a DevRel who lives on the internet - someone who understands developer conversations, builds communities naturally, and knows how to turn feedback into product momentum.
This is not a passive content role. It’s high-ownership, high-visibility, and deeply impact-driven.
~1 year of DevRel / API-facing experience (flexible for high-impact profiles)
Prior DevRel preferred, or strong proof of building in public (community, writing, open-source)
Strong communication + comfort with APIs and integrations
Ability to turn developer conversations into product insights
Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-changing products
If you care more about real adoption than surface-level community numbers, this role is for you.

Role-Specific FAQs
Question: What does DevRel mean at Anakin?
Answer: DevRel here is not about events or vanity community metrics. It’s about:
Improving developer onboarding experience
Supporting serious API users
Building tight feedback loops into engineering
Driving meaningful adoption
~80% of the role is external-facing.
Question: What will success look like in the first 3–6 months?
Answer: Content is part of it, but not the core. The focus is on real conversations, debugging support, and improving developer experience. Lightweight technical content supports this.
Question: Is prior DevRel experience mandatory?
Answer: Preferred, yes. If not formally in DevRel, you should demonstrate strong community-building or “building in public” experience (open-source, Twitter/X, Discord, writing, etc.).
Question: How technical does this role need to be?
Answer: You should be comfortable discussing APIs, integrations, debugging issues, and developer workflows. You don’t need to be a senior backend engineer, but you must be technically credible.
Question: What kind of developer audience are we targeting?
Answer: Primarily global developers, with preference for US-facing exposure. Strong communication skills for international audiences are important.
Question: What is the hiring process?
Answer: Typically 2–3 structured rounds, including:
Community/product thinking assessment
Technical & DevRel depth discussion
Final round with leadership
We maintain a strong hiring bar - only high conviction candidates move forward.
