DevRel Engineer, Startups

About the company

Braintrust is the AI observability platform. By connecting evals and observability in one workflow, Braintrust gives builders the visibility to understand how AI behaves in production and the tools to improve it.

Teams at Notion, Stripe, Zapier, Vercel, and Ramp use Braintrust to compare models, test prompts, and catch regressions — turning production data into better AI with every release.

About the role

We want someone who is already active in developer communities and comfortable engaging directly with founders, AI engineers, and builders. You should like building in public, experimenting with new AI tools, and helping startups ship better AI products. SF only.

Developer education
