Developer Relations Lead

Flux, San Francisco, CA, United States


Why Flux Flux is taking the hard out of hardware, by developing the first

AI Hardware Engineer.

Our goal is to democratize the ability to create bleeding edge hardware, and revolutionize how electronics are designed and built around the world.

About the role Flux is building the default starting point for hardware design. We are hiring a Developer Relations Lead to own community, product education, and customer-driven technical storytelling so engineers can learn Flux, trust it, and succeed without heavy support. This is a 0 to 1 role reporting to the COO.

What you will do

Own the community: set norms, moderate, drive engagement, and build relationships with power users and VIP customers

Turn recurring questions into durable artifacts: docs improvements, tutorials, FAQs, reference projects, and examples

Own the product education roadmap across docs, walkthroughs, tutorials, and example designs

Lead a docs refresh (including Mintlify) and build a sustainable system to keep docs accurate as the product evolves

Create credible technical storytelling: case studies, customer workflows, and “how teams actually use Flux” narratives

Build the feedback loop from customers and community into Product and GTM so recurring friction gets fixed over time

Guide hardware advocates and creators with clear briefs and quality standards (initially leading without direct management)

What we are looking for

Prior experience in DevRel, technical community, solutions engineering, technical marketing, or a closely related role for technical users

Credible technical depth, ideally with real exposure to PCB workflows (professional or serious hands-on)

Strong writing and content structuring skills, especially for docs, tutorials, and learning paths

Comfort being public-facing: running community motions, talking to customers, and representing Flux externally

Ability to build lightweight systems from scratch: tagging, measurement, content pipelines, feedback loops

High ownership, bias to action, and good judgment in ambiguous environments

Nice to haves

Experience building or migrating communities (Slack to forums like Discourse) and driving sustained engagement

Experience owning docs as a maintained product surface (Mintlify or similar), including update workflows tied to product changes

Experience creating technical case studies or customer stories grounded in real workflows

Background in PLG developer tools or products sold to technical audiences

Prior work with hardware startups, makers, robotics, embedded, or adjacent ecosystems

Experience working with advocates, creators, or influencer style partners while maintaining technical credibility
