You build real things with our API and put them in front of developers: on camera, in demos, in front of a crowd. Part creator, part engineer, part community. The job is video-first: you host the shorts, the long-form, the webinars. But you also show up where developers are, and you carry their feedback back to the team. On camera, in native-level English.\nAbout SearchApi\nSearchApi is a real-time SERP API delivering structured data from 100+ search engines and sources, including Google Search, Google Shopping, Google Jobs, Bing, Baidu, YouTube, Amazon, and many more. We power production workloads for Fortune 500 companies, AI startups, and developers who need reliable search data at scale.\nWe're a lean, profitable, bootstrapped team. No VC pressure, no bloat. Just people shipping real products to real customers.\nWhy Join Us?\nOwn the developer relationship. You're how thousands of developers meet SearchApi. Video, demos, community, all yours.\n\nTechnical freedom. You choose what to build, review, and talk about. We back it.\n\nYou represent the company. Your face and voice are the brand to the developer world.\n\nAI-native company. There's no shortage of new things to build and show off.\n\nBootstrapped and Profitable. We answer to customers, not investors.\n\nHow You Work\nYou build the thing you demo. The code on screen is yours and it runs.\n\nYou're as comfortable on camera as you are in a terminal.\n\nYou have a professional recording setup: clean audio, good camera, a usable space.\n\nYou script, shoot, and edit, or you direct the edit and own the result.\n\nYou ship on a steady cadence, not in bursts.\n\nYou Use AI, And You Can Defend Every Claim\nYou use AI to move faster in scripting, editing, and building. But the camera is on you, and a technical claim you make is one you can defend live. You own the accuracy of everything you publish.\nWhat You'll Do\nBe the face, on video first. Host shorts, long-form videos, and webinars that developers actually watch.\n\nBuild real demos. Use our API and the tools you review. Show it working, end to end.\n\nGet us into the conversation. Land SearchApi in comparisons, best-of lists, and the threads developers actually read, on merit.\n\nShow up where developers are. Talks, podcasts, livestreams, the occasional conference. Run our social and community at a technical level.\n\nClose the loop. Bring developer feedback, friction, and feature requests back to the product team. You're our ears, not just our mouth.\n\nWrite when it helps. Launch posts, integration guides, and example apps that make the API click.\n\nYou own how developers experience SearchApi. You decide the formats, the cadence, and the topics that land.\nThe Hard Parts\nThis role is not for everyone. Here's what makes it hard:\nOn camera AND technical. Most people are one or the other. You need both.\n\nCadence is the job. One great video isn't a presence. Consistency is.\n\nYou build what you show. No hand-waving. The demo has to work live.\n\nYou iterate in public. The numbers are public and unforgiving, and you learn from them openly.\n\nYou're the face. When you vouch for something, your name and ours are on it. That's the deal.\n\nIf you want to read someone else's script off a teleprompter, this isn't for you.\nAbout You\nGenuinely technical. You can build the demo you're showing.\n\nCompelling on camera. Clear, engaging, and natural on video and in front of a room.\n\nNative or C2 English. Delivery and nuance matter.\n\nProfessional setup. Audio and video that look and sound the part.\n\nConsistent and self-directed. You ship on a schedule without being chased.\n\nYou actually like developers. Answering questions and building a following energizes you rather than drains you.\n\nRequired experience:\nLinks to on-camera technical content you made yourself.\n\nWe're especially looking for:\nAn existing audience or following.\n\nConference talks, podcasts, or livestreams.\n\nCommunity building (Discord, forums, open source).\n\nDeveloper-tool or API content, and strong editing skills.\n\nWhat We Look For\nWhat makes a strong application:\nLink on-camera videos where you built the thing you're demoing. Which are you proudest of and why? Delivery, clarity, and technical depth speak for themselves. Talking-head reviews of things you didn't build don't.\nSignals we look for:\nAn audience you grew. A talk that landed. A community you built. A video that taught something hard simply. Evidence you can build, present, and bring people with you.\nInclude \"Octopus Tentacle\" in your application so we know you read this. [redacted]\n Get to know each other.\n\nTest video. A short, realistic demo so we can see you on camera.\n\nFollow-up call. Talk through how you'd grow our developer presence.\n\nReference check + Offer\n\nWhat You Get\nFully Remote. Work from anywhere.\n\nEquity share. Own a piece of what you're building.\n\nProfit sharing. When we win, you win.\n\nLearn from the founder. Understand how a real SaaS business grows.\n\nAnnual team retreats (last one in Spain).","description_format":"text","description_chars":5070,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Proficiency (C2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Japan","iso":"JP","kind":"country"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"country"},{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"Argentina","iso":"AR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Australia","iso":"AU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Austria","iso":"AT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Brazil","iso":"BR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"country"},{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"},{"name":"Colombia","iso":null,"kind":"country"},{"name":"Croatia","iso":"HR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Cyprus","iso":"CY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Czech Republic","iso":"CZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Denmark","iso":"DK","kind":"country"},{"name":"Egypt","iso":"EG","kind":"country"},{"name":"Finland","iso":"FI","kind":"country"},{"name":"Hungary","iso":"HU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Israel","iso":"IL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Italy","iso":"IT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Kazakhstan","iso":"KZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Malaysia","iso":"MY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Mexico","iso":"MX","kind":"country"},{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"country"},{"name":"New Zealand","iso":"NZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Norway","iso":"NO","kind":"country"},{"name":"Philippines","iso":"PH","kind":"country"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Romania","iso":"RO","kind":"country"},{"name":"Serbia","iso":"RS","kind":"country"},{"name":"South Africa","iso":"ZA","kind":"country"},{"name":"South Korea","iso":"KR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"country"},{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Taiwan","iso":"TW","kind":"country"},{"name":"Turkey","iso":"TR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Vietnam","iso":"VN","kind":"country"},{"name":"Albania","iso":"AL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Chile","iso":"CL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Costa Rica","iso":"CR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Estonia","iso":"EE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Georgia","iso":"GE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Greece","iso":"GR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Iceland","iso":"IS","kind":"country"},{"name":"Latvia","iso":"LV","kind":"country"},{"name":"Lithuania","iso":"LT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Luxembourg","iso":"LU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Malta","iso":"MT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Moldova","iso":"MD","kind":"country"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"country"},{"name":"Slovakia","iso":"SK","kind":"country"},{"name":"Slovenia","iso":"SI","kind":"country"},{"name":"Uruguay","iso":"UY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Hong Kong","iso":"HK","kind":"country"},{"name":"Singapore","iso":"SG","kind":"country"},{"name":"Luxembourg City","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Search Engine Optimization (SEO)","Web Scraping & Proxy Networks"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T14:59:42Z"}],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.199,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":92,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:13","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-30T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/searchapi-developer-advocate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/searchapi-developer-advocate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T02:00:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"search","counted_by":"address","units_charged":0,"used_today":0,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":null,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
