Community Specialist

Job Description:

Build With Developers. Not Just For Them.

At Anakin, weve built an early-stage API product designed for speed, experimentation, and real developer feedback. Were looking for a DevRel who lives on the internet - someone who understands developer conversations, builds communities naturally, and knows how to turn feedback into product momentum.

This is not a passive content role. Its high-ownership, high-visibility, and deeply impact-driven.

What Youll Focus On (First 36 Months)

• Reduce onboarding friction (docs, examples, clarity)
• Identify and deeply support the first serious API users
• Increase meaningful developer sign-ups
• Build structured feedback loops into engineering
• Refine messaging through real developer conversations

~80% of this role is external-facing, engaging developers globally (US-facing exposure preferred).

What Youll Do

• Improve API documentation and onboarding flows
• Engage developers across HN, Reddit, Discord, Twitter/X, etc.
• Separate curiosity from real usage
• Collect and synthesize actionable product feedback
• Help debug integrations and close the loop once fixes ship
• Create lightweight technical content (guides, demos, walkthroughs)

What Were Looking For

• ~1 year of DevRel / API-facing experience (flexible for high-impact profiles)
• Prior DevRel preferred, or strong proof of building in public (community, writing, open-source)
• Strong communication + comfort with APIs and integrations
• Ability to turn developer conversations into product insights
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-changing products

If you care more about real adoption than surface-level community numbers, this role is for you.
