Junior Developer Advocate (AI/Open Source)

About NeverBlink

At NeverBlink we are on a mission to make knowledge graphs and ontologies accessible to the masses, making AI systems more useful and more aligned with human intent. We build infrastructure software – the new generation of data products to be used by top companies worldwide. We believe that open-source is the only way to reach this goal and we release as much as possible to the community.

Our tech is built on deep R&D done in collaboration with international partners. The work is partially funded from EU grants.

NeverBlink has an international team, with headquarters in Warsaw, Poland. We are a remote-first company. In this role, you will be expected to travel (also to Warsaw), but relocation is not required.

In short

We are building a HuggingFace / npm for ontologies. Ontologies are what gives data meaning – the new wave of AI applications needs them badly. We capture this wave.

We are looking for a student or junior community enthusiast to join our team as a Junior Developer Advocate. You don’t need years of experience or an impressive resume. We care about your curiosity, drive, and willingness to learn. Your focus will be supporting our developer advocacy efforts: helping us engage the community, create content, and get our open-source software into the hands of AI & data developers.

Fully remote within the EU/EFTA, some travel, small team, lots of ownership.

What can we give you

• We give you ownership over the process – it’s your ship. We give you tools to run it.
• Work on high visibility open source projects.
• Travel: scientific and technical conferences.
• Equity on top of the base salary.
• Flexible working hours.
• Fully remote work.
• Negotiable type of contract.
• Competitive salary – strongly dependent on your experience level and motivation.
• Regular team integrations (physical and virtual)

How we work

We are a small team, where we strongly prefer to give each team member ownership of a particular topic. There is no bureaucratic process. If you want to talk to the CEO/CTO, just hit them up on chat.

We are remote-first. You can work any hours that are the most convenient to you.

Our team members come from open source communities, academia, and tech. It’s a place where you’ll have access to some very smart folks that are a pleasure to work with.

How to apply

Your resume is not our main focus – your work is. Please include links to your relevant work: OSS projects, organized community events, talks you gave, social media pages managed by you, scientific papers, or anything else that is relevant to interacting with communities.

You can put these links either in the resume, or in the dedicated application form field.
