Vast

<div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Developer Experience Engineer</b></h1><p>
Vast.ai &middot; Los Angeles or San Francisco Bay Area</p><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
About Us</b></h3><p>
Vast.ai&rsquo;s cloud powers AI projects and businesses all over the world. We are democratizing and decentralizing AI computing&mdash;reshaping our future for the benefit of humanity.</p><p>
We are a growing and highly motivated team dedicated to an ambitious technical plan. Our structure is flat, our ambitions are out‑sized, and leadership is earned by shipping excellence.</p><p>
We seek engineers with strong intrinsic drive, a true passion for advancing the state of the art, and a mix of architecture, coding, and communication skills.</p><p>
We've never had a dedicated role focused on the developers who build on Vast: the people renting compute from us to train and ship their models. That's what we're hiring for. You'll be our first DevEx Engineer, and you'll own the experience of building on Vast: the reference implementations and example code developers copy, and how we show up in the community around them.</p><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b><br>
Why now</b></h2><p>
There's already an active community around Vast in our Discord, on Reddit, on X, and in YouTube comments. Some of it is the builders you'll serve; some of it is hosts and noise. Nobody on our side is really in there today, and our competitors staff this heavily. So part of the job is showing up for the developers who are already here, and part of it is growing the right audience around them.<br>
<br>
<b>What you'll own</b></p><ul><li><p>
Technical content. Tutorials, example repos, and short videos that show people how to get something running on Vast. The useful kind that developers pass around on their own.</p></li><li><p>
Product feedback. You'll hear what's broken before anyone else does. Get it back to the product team, clearly and often.</p></li><li><p>
Events. Run our presence at hackathons (we already have sponsorships lined up), meetups, and conferences, including getting on a plane and showing up in person.</p></li><li><p>
Community. Be a real presence in our Discord, on Reddit, and on X. Answer the actual technical questions people ask, the kind they post at 1am when a container won't start. Set the tone for how Vast talks to developers.</p></li><li><p>
Creator partnerships. Work with developer-focused YouTubers and other creators, the ones with real audiences rather than bought ones.</p></li></ul><p><b><br>
What you won't own</b></p><p>
To be straight about scope: this role doesn't cover paid ads, brand and positioning strategy, or the growth dashboard. It's also focused on the demand side, the developers who build on Vast, not our GPU hosts and suppliers, who have their own very different needs. Other people own all of that and you'll partner with them. We want your time going into the builder community and the content that serves it, because that's where it pays off.<br>
<br>
<b>Who you are</b></p><ul><li><p>
You've been an engineer. You can deploy a model and debug someone's setup, and developers can tell you've done the work yourself. This part can't be faked.</p></li><li><p>
You've built a developer community before, ideally close to from scratch. You know what makes one grow and what quietly kills it.</p></li><li><p>
You like people more than most engineers do. Writing, posting, talking, showing up at events. That's the actual day-to-day.</p></li><li><p>
You run yourself. Nobody's going to hand you a content calendar, and you'd rather ship something than sit in a planning meeting about it.</p></li></ul><p><b><br>
Nice to have</b></p><ul><li><p>
Time at a cloud, GPU, AI-infrastructure, or developer-tools company.</p></li><li><p>
Something you've made that traveled: a tutorial series people reference, a repo with real stars, a talk that got passed around.</p></li><li><p>
Working knowledge of the AI/ML stack: model deployment, inference, fine-tuning.</p></li></ul><p><b><br>
Your first 90 days</b></p><ul><li><p>
Get a steady, regular presence going on Reddit and Discord.</p></li><li><p>
Ship your first batch of tutorials and example repos.</p></li><li><p>
Represent Vast at a hackathon we're already sponsoring this summer.</p></li><li><p>
Give us a clear read on how other GPU and AI-infra companies show up with developers, and where we're behind.</p></li></ul><p><b><br>
Compensation and location</b></p><p>
$160,000&ndash;$200,000 base depending on experience, plus equity. We're profitable, venture-backed, and growing, so the equity is a stake in a real company with a real valuation, not a lottery ticket. Los Angeles or San Francisco Bay Area. Travel and conference budget covered.</p><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Benefits</b></h3><ul><li><p>
Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance</p></li><li><p>
401(k) with company match</p></li><li><p>
Meaningful early-stage equity</p></li><li><p>
Onsite meals, snacks, and close collaboration with founders/tech leaders</p></li><li><p>
Ambitious, fast-paced startup culture where initiative is rewarded</p></li></ul><p>
Compensation Range: $160K - $200K</p></div>
