Developer Advocate

Your mission

We are looking for a Senior Developer Advocate to help us build a top-notch DevRel team and a stellar community where growth and developer experience are top priorities.

At deepset, we’re passionate about building production-grade GenAI applications and agents, tailored to the specific needs and requirements of every organization. We empower individuals and organizations to transform their critical operations through innovative AI solutions that are accurate, fast-to-market, and easy to flex and evolve over time.

Our foundational product is Haystack — an open source LLM orchestration framework for composing custom production-ready AI applications. Haystack empowers developers to build directly with our open-source framework and provides the building-block basis of the deepset platform for accelerated development and deployment.

Our users have different backgrounds, work in different industries, and we help companies of all sizes to implement pragmatic, use-case-driven LLM-based applications. Notable examples include retrieval augmented generation (RAG), Agents, modern enterprise search, intelligent document processing, intelligent chatbots, and more. Have a look at our GitHub and our docs to learn more.

The Haystack community is growing fast. We engage with the users and contributors every day across multiple channels. We enrich the framework. We produce content. We execute meetups, hackathons, and events. We foster sharing and collaboration.

As the Senior Developer Advocate, you'll drive the growth of the Haystack community by championing both our open-source framework and commercial solutions, ensuring AI remains accessible through exceptional developer campaigns, experiences, and resources.
