Reports to CEO
About 2nd Brain Labs
2nd Brain Labs is an early-stage B2B AI startup building its flagship product Synapse - the Enterprise Context Engine. It is the infrastructure layer that connects AI agents to every enterprise system, document, and workflow. Alongside our enterprise product, we have a free self-service tier where individual developers and small teams can generate MCP servers, experiment with AI-agent integrations, and push the boundaries of what context-aware AI can do. That developer community is where the next wave of ideas, integrations, and advocates will come from. This role owns that community.
The Role
Most DevRel roles at early-stage startups are vague. This one is not. You are the first person developers meet when they encounter Synapse. You are the voice that answers their questions, runs their events, and makes sure their feedback actually changes the product. You are also the person who builds the community channels from scratch - Discord, GitHub, Reddit, Product Hunt - and makes them worth showing up to.
This is an early-career role, we are not looking for someone who has done this at three companies. We are looking for someone with genuine passion for developer communities, fluent communication skills, and the intellectual curiosity to go deep on AI agent technology and context engineering. The technical depth will grow with the role. The passion has to come in on day one.
What You Will Own
• Community channel ownership: Build and manage Synapse’s developer-facing communities from the ground up: Discord server, GitHub organization presence, Reddit engagement (r/LocalLLaMA, r/MachineLearning, r/AIAgents and others), and Product Hunt launches.
• Developer engagement: Be the first responder to developer questions, integration issues, and feature requests across all community channels. Patience and clarity are as important as speed here.
• Feedback triage: Capture, tag, and route developer feedback and product improvement suggestions to the engineering team as structured backlog inputs. You are the bridge between what developers experience and what the product becomes.
• Virtual events: Plan and run a minimum of 2 community events per month - demos, AMAs, hackathons, office hours. Own the calendar, the agenda, and the follow-up.
• Product demos: Be able to demo Synapse end-to-end, confidently and clearly, to a developer audience. You do not need to write the code but you need to understand what it does well enough to show it compellingly.
• In-person representation: As Synapse matures, represent the product at AI and developer conferences in the US. Travel is fully covered by the company.
• Technical content (plus): Writing technical blog posts, tutorials, or integration guides is a strong plus but not the primary expectation. If you enjoy writing, this is an additional surface for impact.
• Developer growth metrics: Own the numbers: community member growth, free-tier developer signups, event attendance. Report these directly to the CEO.
What Success Looks Like
2/mo Community events AMAs, demos, hackathons
Growing developer signups on Synapse free tier
Active members across Discord, GitHub, Reddit
What We Are Looking For
• Fluent English communication - written and spoken - is a hard requirement. This is non-negotiable given the US developer audience.
• Genuine understanding of Generative AI concepts, agentic AI, and how context engineering unlocks enterprise knowledge. You do not need to have built these systems but you need to talk about them credibly and with genuine curiosity.
• Comfort being on camera - live demos, virtual events, and community video content are a regular part of this role.
• Patience and empathy for developers who are frustrated, stuck, or skeptical. The best DevRel people make those developers the product’s loudest advocates.
• Organized and systematic about feedback, you will be handling a high volume of developer input and need to triage it clearly without losing signal in the noise.
• Self-starter who can build community channels from zero, there is no existing playbook here. You will write it.
• Familiarity with MCP protocol and AI agent ecosystems is a strong plus but curiosity and the ability to learn fast is the baseline.
• Prior involvement in developer communities as a contributor, moderator, event organizer, or active participant, tells us a lot more than a resume.
What We Are Not Looking For
• A social media manager who happens to be interested in AI - this role requires genuine technical fluency, not just content scheduling
• Someone who needs a fully built community to manage - you are starting from scratch and that should excite you, not worry you
• Someone who treats developer feedback as noise to be managed - every frustrated developer is a product insight waiting to be unlocked
How to Apply
This role has one mandatory application requirement: a short video (2–5 minutes) introducing yourself and explaining any topic you are genuinely passionate about. It does not have to be technical. We want to hear how you communicate, not what you know. Applications without this video will not be reviewed.
Send the video link along with any community work you have done - Discord servers you’ve built or contributed to, GitHub activity, Reddit threads where you’ve helped others, events you have organized. Show us where you already show up for communities.
