Job Summary
Synthesia is the worlds leading AI video platform for business used by over 90% of the Fortune 100. Founded in 2017 the company is headquartered in London with offices and teams across Europe and the US.
As AI continues to shape the way we live and work Synthesia develops products to enhance visual communication and enterprise skill development helping people work better and stay at the center of successful organizations.
Following our recent Series E funding round where we raised $200 million our valuation stands at $4 billion. Our total funding exceeds $530 million from premier investors including Accel NVentures (Nvidias VC arm) Kleiner Perkins GV and Evantic Capital alongside the founders and operators of Stripe Datadog Miro and Webflow.
Synthesias API and platform capabilities are quickly becoming the way developers embed AI video into their own products automated training pipelines localization workflows customer-facing apps and more. Were looking for our first Developer Evangelist to make sure the developer world knows it understands it and gets building.
This is a builder-and-storyteller role. Youll be the face and voice of the Synthesia API to the outside world writing coding speaking and showing up wherever developers already are while also being the internal champion who brings their feedback back into the product. You wont just talk about whats possible with Synthesia; youll build the sample apps tutorials and demos that prove it and youll do it consistently enough that developers start to recognize your name before they recognize the logo.
Youll be part of the Developer Services team and work closely with Product Engineering Marketing and Developer Support to turn technical capability into developer adoption.
Create technical content that developers actually use
Write blog posts tutorials and how-to guides that show real working integrations not just feature announcements
Build and maintain sample apps starter kits and code snippets across common languages and frameworks
Produce video walkthroughs and livestreams using Synthesias own product wherever it makes sense to eat our own dog food
Keep a fast honest cadence regular dependable output builds more trust than occasional big launches
Show up where developers are
Represent Synthesia at conferences meetups hackathons and webinars as a speaker workshop host and booth presence
Run livestreams and community AMAs that go deep on real implementation questions not marketing talking points
Build relationships with individual developers technical bloggers and community leaders who influence adoption
Travel as needed to be physically present in the communities that matter most to our growth
Be the credible technical voice
Get hands-on with the Synthesia API well enough to build things yourself debug alongside developers and speak with authority not from a script
Earn trust the way any evangelist does: by being genuinely useful before asking for anything in return
Play the long game plant seeds in developer communities today that turn into adoption months or years down the line
Close the loop with product
Channel developer feedback friction points and feature requests back to Product and Engineering in a structured way
Partner with Developer Support and Documentation to identify where the APIs rough edges are creating support burden or lost adoption
Help prioritize the developer experience roadmap based on what youre hearing on the ground
Build the flywheel
Grow and nurture channels Discord/Slack community developer newsletter social where developers can find each other and find help
Identify and cultivate community advocates and early power users who can become case studies co-speakers or contributors
Measure whats working (content engagement API sign-ups community growth sentiment) and adjust the playbook accordingly
Experience in developer relations developer advocacy technical evangelism or a similar hybrid technical/communication role ideally at a platform API-first or infrastructure company
Genuinely hands-on: comfortable writing code working with APIs and SDKs and building demo apps yourself not just narrating what engineering built
A strong authentic communicator across formats written live and on stage who can make technical concepts land with a developer audience
Comfortable with regular travel and public speaking; energized by meeting developers in person not just online
A track record of sustained output (blog video or community content) rather than one-off campaigns evangelism is a long game and consistency is what earns trust
Skilled at listening as much as broadcasting: you can sit in a developers frustration and turn it into a clear actionable signal for the product team
Comfortable operating with a lot of autonomy in a fast-moving still-forming function
Bonus: existing following or credibility within a developer community relevant to Synthesias platform (video AI/ML automation or enterprise software)
