It matches each workload to the right hardware across NVIDIA, AMD, Positron, and other next-generation accelerators and tunes the kernels underneath, then battle-tests the results across trillions of tokens a day. Every optimization ships to every customer, so every team gets performance tuned for their workload from one endpoint in minutes. Parasail is headquartered in San Mateo, California, and backed by Kindred Ventures, Turing Capital, Basis Set and others.\nThe role\nWe're looking for our first developer advocate to be Parasail's technical voice on inference, from open weight models and the hardware they run on to the applications built on top.\nYou'll run your own experiments on how inference behaves in production, then write up what you find, present it at conferences and lead workshops. Day to day, you'll work with our perf and platform engineers and directly with our leadership team. You'll also represent Parasail with our model labs & hardware partners. The role starts as an individual contributor, with room to build and lead a team as it grows.\nWhat you'll do\nAdvance the technical conversation. Do original work on how inference behaves in production: serving engines, hardware, latency, cost and quality. Publish the deep dives and references engineers bookmark and cite. Post your work across the channels that matter most to developers including X and Hacker News.\n\nTake it to the stage. Write CFPs and give talks at the conferences and meetups where AI engineers, infrastructure teams and model builders show up. You'll also run workshops and go on podcasts and panels.\n\nWork with the labs and the chip makers. Launch new models with open weight labs. Show developers what new silicon can do with partners like AMD, Positron and d-Matrix. Build integrations with the frameworks and tools developers already use. Align with the labs and chip makers on how to benchmark, and build joint benchmarks.\n\nTeach in whatever format works. Technical blogs, notebooks, sample apps and video walkthroughs, including day-0 guides the day new open weight models land.\n\nClose the loop. Bring what you hear from developers back to product and engineering to improve our self-serve experience.\n\nWhat success looks like\nNorth star: make Parasail one of the top places developers go to build with open weight models.\nEngineers learn from Parasail's technical work, cite it and share it.\n\nParasail is a regular presence on stage at the conferences and meetups where AI engineers show up.\n\nOther teams use an open benchmarking or research project we shaped together.\n\nWe regularly launch and publish with open weight labs and hardware partners.\n\nOur engineers co-author and speak regularly, and there's a clear plan for growing the team if the motion is working.\n\nWhat you'll bring\nYou've done technical work in public, like conference talks and writing that engineers cite, whether your background is developer advocacy, ML education, research or engineering.\n\nYou're hands-on with LLMs and inference.\n\nYou can make complex ideas clear, on stage and in writing.\n\nYou've contributed to or maintained open source that developers use.\n\nYou know people across the AI ecosystem, or you know how to meet them fast.\n\nYou'd rather build a function than inherit one.\n\nNice to haves\nTime in vLLM or SGLang, or on accelerators beyond NVIDIA\n\nPublished evals or benchmark methodology for LLM systems\n\nAccepted talks at major AI, ML or systems conferences\n\nA following on X, LinkedIn or elsewhere, earned through your technical work\n\nA research or teaching background in ML or systems\n\nLocation and work style\nRemote in the US, with regular time in our San Mateo office.\n\nAbout 30% travel, mostly conferences, meetups and partner events.\n\nHow to apply\nIf this sounds like you, hit us up with a link to the talk, repo or post you're proudest of and a few lines on why you’re excited.\nParasail is an equal opportunity employer that supports workplace diversity and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender identity/expression, national origin, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability, or any other protected class.
