Member of DevRel Staff - Developer Advocate

About this role

Tessl is a fast-growing Series A startup based in London, founded by Guy Podjarny, who previously founded Snyk. We’ve raised more than $100 million from world-class investors, including Index Ventures, Accel, GV and Boldstart. In 2025, Tessl ranked #2 in Sifted’s B2B SaaS Rising 100 and #20 in its AI 100. We’re building the context layer for AI coding agents and a platform for AI-native software development. As an early member of the team, you’ll help shape how we build and scale a company operating at the forefront of AI and software development.

OVERVIEW OF ROLE We're looking for a Developer Advocate to be Tessl's presence in the Bay Area AI community. Someone already deep in the local scene, building with AI every day, showing up at the meetups and hackathons, and pushing what's possible with agentic coding alongside the people defining it. This is a builder's role first. You'll be a power user of our product, creating integrations, tools and projects that show what AI native development really looks like, then taking that into the community to hack, demo and present.

Your main focus will be the Bay Area, but you'll also travel to give customer and conference sessions across the US. Because the rest of the team is in London, this role suits someone who thrives with the autonomy to set their direction and the self-motivation to act on it without much steering. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Build with Tessl: Go beyond writing about the product, build with it. Create apps, integrations and creative projects using Tessl that inspire and enable the developer community to do the same.

- Own the Bay Area: Be Tessl's visible presence in the local AI scene. Show up at the meetups and hackathons that matter, hack alongside people, demo what you've built and present what's possible with agentic coding. - Content creation: Write articles, tutorials and guides, and produce videos that give developers practical, actionable insight into AI native development with Tessl. - Speak across the US: Travel to give customer and conference sessions around the country while keeping your main focus in the Bay.

- Ecosystem exploration: Constantly explore the AI developer tooling landscape, identifying integration opportunities and ways to connect Tessl with the broader ecosystem. - Show up where developers are: Run webinars, appear on podcasts and make yourself at home in other people's communities, from Discord servers and Slack groups to subreddits and newsletters. WHAT YOU'LL NEED - Already in the Bay Area scene: You're a regular at the meetups and hackathons that matter, a recognised face in the local AI developer community, and an active voice online where the discussion is happening.
