DevRev

At DevRev, we’re building the future of work with Computer – your AI teammate.

Computer is not just another tool. It’s built on the belief that the future of work should be about genuine human connection and collaboration – not piling on more apps.
Computer is the best kind of teammate: it amplifies your strengths, takes repetition and frustration out of your day, and gives you more time and energy to do your best work.

How?

Easy: it’s the only platform capable of…
Complete data unification
Most AI products focus on either structured data (like CRM records and support tickets), or unstructured data (like documents and emails). Computer AirSync connects everything, unifying all your data sources (like Google Workspace, Jira, Notion) into one AI-ready source of truth: Computer Memory.
Powerful search, reasoning, and action
Once connected to all your tools and apps, Computer is embedded in your full business context. It can find and summarize, sure. Even more impressive: it offers employees insights, strategic and proactive suggestions, plus powerful agentic actions.

Extensions for your teams and customers
Computer doesn’t make you choose between new software and old. Its AI-native platform lets you extend existing tools with sophisticated apps and agents. So your teams – and your customers – can take action, seamlessly. These agents work alongside you: updating workflows, coordinating across teams, and syncing back to your systems.

This isn’t just software. Computer brings people back together, breaking down silos and ushering in the future of teamwork, through human-AI collaboration. Stop managing software. Stop wasting time. Start solving bigger problems, building better products, and making your customers happier.

We call this Team Intelligence. It’s why DevRev exists.

Trusted by global companies across multiple industries, DevRev is backed by Khosla Ventures and Mayfield, with $150M+ raised. We are 650+ people, across eight global offices.

As the technical owner of the customer relationship, you'll partner cross-collaboratively to ensure successful delivery.

  • Integrate Systems: Connect AI agents with external platforms (e.g., CRMs, APIs, databases) for seamless workflow automation.
  • Optimize Performance: Tune prompts, logic, and agent configurations for accuracy, reliability, and scalability.
  • Own Requirements: Partner with customers to deeply understand their needs and translate them into technical agent specifications.
  • Prototype & Iterate: Lead live demos, build rapid proof-of-concepts, and refine solutions through customer feedback.
  • Advise Customers: Act as a trusted technical advisor on AI agent architecture, performance, and long-term scalability.
  • Travel Ready: Willingness to travel up to 30% for on-site discovery, deployment, and customer engagement.

What You Bring

  • Experience: 5+ years in software development, AI/ML engineering, or technical consulting coupled with customer-facing experience

  • Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, and modern DevOps practices (CI/CD, containers, observability).
  • System Integration: Comfortable integrating systems via APIs, webhooks, and event/data pipelines.
  • Data-Driven Mindset: Use A/B testing, telemetry, and metrics to guide decisions and drive improvements.
