Developer Relations Engineer at Ollama, owning strategy and execution to drive adoption of open models—building demos, technical blog posts, tutorials, and nurturing the developer ecosystem.
Ollama is the most popular way for developers to access open models. What started as an open-source, local-first runtime is now the largest developer network in the open-model ecosystem: 8.9 million monthly active developers and over 67,000+ community-built integrations. We're backed by Y Combinator, Benchmark, 8VC, and Theory Ventures. Our team is small and talent dense. We're flat, low-ego, and fast-moving. We like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, design-driven, and who enjoy shipping code.
About the role
We're looking for a Developer Relations Engineer to own the strategy, execution, and outcomes for Ollama. You will work directly with developers, model labs, 3rd party integrations, hardware companies, and industry partners to drive adoption, accelerate development, and build long-term ecosystem relationships.
This role is a highly outward-facing, high-impact role where you will be the public face of Ollama. You won't just talk about Ollama, you will build engineering content, including short demos on Ollama’s socials, deep-dive technical blog posts, videos, and tutorials using open models.

Conceptualize and execute on external content, ensuring it will land with engineers

You have exceptional communication skills, with a public portfolio of technical writing, recorded talks, or developer community programs
You have high ownership: you can take a complex engineering workflow from idea to a public-facing demonstration
You find comfort in a flat, fast-moving, and design-driven environment where shipping code in public is the default
