Developer Relations Advocate

At Speechmatics we build speech technology that lets machines understand and respond to people. We're looking for a Developer Relations Advocate in San Francisco to put that technology in the hands of the developers building the next wave of Conversational AI. 

You will join our Developer Relations team and help build a vibrant, growing community of developers who are excited about our Conversational AI and speech capabilities. You'll learn from experienced colleagues, get hands-on with our latest technology, and see your work shape how developers build with voice. 

What you’ll be doing:  

• Be the face of Speechmatics in San Francisco, building our profile across the city's AI and developer scene and bringing back the market insight that shapes our US growth.
• Grow a passionate community of developers through online forums, social media, events, and meet-ups.
• Be the developer's voice inside Speechmatics, turning their feedback into real product improvements.
• Create clear, practical content such as tutorials, code samples, demos, blog posts, and documentation that help developers understand and build with our technology.
• Get developers from first API call to working product, unblocking them on technical challenges and partnering with engineering on the tricky ones.
• Help run webinars, hackathons, and community events that developers want to attend.
• Build relationships with developers, partners, and community champions, supporting our wider Developer Relations programmes.
• Use community and content data to show what's working and shape where we focus next. 

Who we are looking for:  

• Early-career experience in developer relations, community management, developer support, software development, or a similar role.
• Hands-on experience with APIs, SDKs, and developer tools. You enjoy building things and trying out new technology.
• A collaborative approach, with the confidence to work with engineering and product teams and turn community feedback into real improvements.
• Curiosity about speech technology, AI, and machine learning. You don't need to be an expert, just keen to learn.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to a diverse audience.
• Enthusiasm for networking and building relationships with developers, partners, and the wider community.
• Any experience creating content would be welcome, whether technical writing, documentation, blog posts, videos, or talks, from work, study, open-source, or side projects. 

Competitive salary plus OTE or bonus, with great additional benefits.

Who we are:

Speechmatics is the leading expert in Speech Intelligence, and uses AI and Machine Learning to unlock business value in human speech worldwide. We work with an amazing mix of global companies, and our technology can integrate into our customers stack irrespective of their industry or use case - making it the go-to solution to harness useful information from speech.

We believe in putting people first; we’ll do all we can to help you develop your skills and give you the tools you need to thrive. Our Focus Fridays give you an undisturbed day of focus, offset with Together Tuesdays when we have our team meetings, so you've always got the right balance.

We have structured a hybrid approach that includes 2-3 designated office days each week. This arrangement ensures that while we embrace the advantages of remote work, we also maintain the vital connection and synergy that only in-person interactions can foster.

This is only the beginning; we’re looking for amazing people like you to continue our journey…

What we can offer you:

No matter what stage of your career you’re at - from paid internships and first-job opportunities through to management and senior positions - we’ll support you with the training and development needed to reach your career aspirations with us. There really is no shortage of opportunities here for you to get involved and collaborate with those around you to deliver your best work.

We offer incredibly flexible working, regular company lunches, and birthday celebrations. But that’s not all. We’ve spoken to our teams to find out what they want. From Private Medical, and Dental for you and your family, through to global working opportunities, a generous holiday allowance and pension/401K matching, we want to make sure our employees and their families are looked after. Every employee will receive a working from home allowance for tech or home office equipment (on top of your choice of laptop and accessories of course). Our approach to parental leave is designed to support employees globally. While this varies by geo, we have support in place for parents (including adoption assistance and reproductive health services) to ensure they have the time and financial resources needed to care for their growing families.

At Speechmatics, our mission is simple: Understand Every Voice out there.  

That's not just about our tech - it's the heart and soul of who we are. We welcome different experiences, viewpoints, and identities. For us, it’s not just the right thing to do; it’s our catalyst for sparking innovation and creativity. Our teams thrive in an environment that celebrates and supports everyone - no matter their gender, identity or expression, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, belief, marital status, national origin, veteran status, pregnancy, or maternity status.

But we don’t just open the door to diversity - we actively welcome it. Why? Because we believe every unique voice adds something special to our team, leading us to smarter solutions and a better workplace.

So, come as you are and join our Speechling community. We’re building a place where every voice not only gets heard but is also respected and valued.
