You'll own how we show up to technical audiences: shipping technical content, running hackathons and meetups, launching open-source tools like Halo, and building partnerships across the AI ecosystem.\nAbout White Circle\nWhite Circle is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies: simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn't do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale.\nWe’ve recently raised our Series A funding round, taking our total funding to $70M. Our investors include top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others\n\nWe process over one hundred million API calls every month\n\nWe fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary model\n\nWe're a small, highly focused team. If you want to work deeply on hard problems, see your work ship to production quickly, and influence how AI safety is actually built, you're the one we need.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn White Circle's developer relations: how engineers and AI researchers discover, understand, and adopt what we build\n\nLead technical launches for open-source releases and developer tools, like our Halo framework, from narrative and demos through to launch day\n\nWrite and publish technical content: blog posts, tutorials, walkthroughs, demos, and threads on X and LinkedIn\n\nOrganise and run hackathons, meetups, and technical events, mainly in SF and New York\n\nBuild and grow a technical community around our open-source work and platform\n\nSet up and run technical partnerships and collaborations with AI labs, dev tools companies, and research teams\n\nGive technical input to promo and product videos, working with our design and creative team on production\n\nTrack what's working (signups, repo stars, views, event turnout, hiring pipeline) and double down on it\n\nWe're looking for someone who\nHas a strong technical background as a software engineer, ML engineer, or researcher\n\nHas worked at a technical product company, ideally in dev tools, infrastructure, databases, or AI\n\nHas organised hackathons, meetups, or technical events, and can show how they went (turnout, signups, what came out of them)\n\nHas an engaged following among engineers and/or AI researchers on X, LinkedIn, GitHub, or elsewhere\n\nKnows the AI tooling landscape well: coding agents, eval frameworks, open-source models, and who is building what\n\nCan take a complex technical topic and make it compelling for a developer audience without dumbing it down\n\nThrives with ownership and moves fast without waiting for direction\n\nIs based in the US, or able to work US hours. SF or New York is ideal, but we'll consider exceptional candidates anywhere\n\nIs fluent in English\n\nA big plus\nYou've led developer marketing or DevRel for a technical launch that drove real adoption\n\nYou've contributed to or maintained popular open-source projects\n\nYou have existing relationships across the AI research and developer community\n\nYou've worked on or around AI safety, evals, or reliability\n\nCompensation & benefits\nCompetitive compensation package, including equity\n\nFlexible time off\n\nHealth insurance\n\nMental health support, including coverage for therapy when you need it\n\n401(k) retirement plan\n\nLearning and development support for courses, conferences, and opportunities to grow your skills\n\nAll the hardware, subscriptions, tools, and services you need\n\nTeam off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps, Saint-Tropez, and Marbella\n\nProcess\nIntro call with Talent (25 min)\n\nTake-home assignment, with a choice of a walkthrough of one of our public repos or a launch case study on a sample company\n\nTechnical chat with Head of Design & Head of Applied Research (45 min)\n\nFinal conversation with CEO & Head of Engineering (45 min)","description_format":"text","description_chars":4111,"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":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible time off","Health insurance","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-30T15:24:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/whitecircle-devrel-lead-developer-relations","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/whitecircle-devrel-lead-developer-relations.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T23:31:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4927,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":73,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":720703},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=720703"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwhitecircle-devrel-lead-developer-relations"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwhitecircle-devrel-lead-developer-relations"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwhitecircle-devrel-lead-developer-relations"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/whitecircle-devrel-lead-developer-relations\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwhitecircle-devrel-lead-developer-relations"}]}
