Summary Generated by Built In

Everyone's talking about AI. But here's the truth: ChatGPT can't send your emails. It can't book your flights. It can't even order you lunch.

Why? Because AI is trapped in a chat box. It can't take real actions in the real world.

We are changing that forever. We're not just building another AI company - we're creating the infrastructure that will power every AI application you'll use in the future.

The Revolution Needs You

Every AI app needs agentic "tools" - special functions that let AI models take real actions. Without tools, AI can only chat. With tools, AI can actually do things. We're building the definitive tools catalog and tool-calling platform that will unlock AI's true potential. Think Zapier for AI Actions. Think Auth0 for AI. Think really big.

Why This Is The Opportunity of a Lifetime
  • Founder-Market Fit : Our CEO previously founded Stormpath (acquired by Okta), where he created the first Authentication API for developers. He's done this before - and this time the market is 10x bigger. Our CTO led the vector database team at Redis, shipped 100+ LLM applications, and is a contributor to LangChain and LlamaIndex. He knows this space better than anyone.

  • Dream Team : We've assembled authentication, integrations, distributed systems, and AI experts from Okta, Redis, Microsoft, Splunk, Ngrok, Google, Airbyte, Disney, and HPE who've built and founded multiple successful developer platforms.

  • Perfect Timing : We're at the inflection point of AI adoption. The biggest problem isn't better models - it's connecting AI to real-world actions. That's us.

  • Massive Market : We're building critical infrastructure for the biggest technological shift of our generation. Every AI app will need what we're building.

  • Backed By The Best: Our investors have backed Databricks, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Perplexity, Cohere, ScaleAI, Confluent, Elastic, and Firebase. They see what we see - this is going to be huge.

The Role

You'll stay close to the developer ecosystem, build things that get Arcade noticed, and ship them fast. The projects you build don't go through the product roadmap — they run alongside it. They're designed to capitalize on trends, demonstrate what's possible, and get developers to pay attention to Arcade.

Your work falls into two modes: engaging and building.

Engaging means showing up in the places developers already hang out — Reddit, Discord, Hacker News, GitHub discussions — and being genuinely helpful. Not pitching. Not dropping links. Answering real questions about MCP, AI agents, auth, tooling, and the messy problems people actually run into. You'll develop a feel for what developers care about, what's confusing them, and where the market is heading — and feed those signals back to product and marketing to influence roadmap and prioritization.

Building means turning those signals into action. Every month you'll ship 2–4 projects, demos, or experiments designed to ride trends, demonstrate what's possible with Arcade, and earn attention across the market. Partner integrations are a key part of this — building the connectors and demos that embed Arcade into the modern AI stack wherever developers are building agents. Additionally, when big news breaks — a new model drop, a major API change, a shift in the ecosystem — you're the person who has something live within hours. You'll stay tight with product and marketing to align on key themes, upcoming launches, and product announcements — so the things you build amplify what Arcade is shipping and capitalize on what's trending.

You own the full loop: spot the opportunity, build the thing, ship it, and promote it back into the communities you came from — as an engineer talking to engineers. The insights you pick up along the way feed back to product and marketing to influence roadmap and prioritization.

What You’ll Do
  • Ship 2–4 external-facing projects or experiments per month that capitalize on market trends and raise awareness of Arcade

  • Engage daily in developer communities as a knowledgeable, helpful presence around MCP, AI agents, and developer tooling

  • Build and maintain partner integrations with key ecosystem players, ensuring Arcade is the default execution layer for agents

  • React fast to ecosystem news — new model releases, API changes, competitor moves, viral moments — with timely projects, posts, or takes that insert Arcade into the conversation

  • Surface community insights — user pain points, emerging trends, competitive signals, common misconceptions — and feed them back to product and marketing to influence roadmap prioritization

  • Own launch and distribution of every project back into dev communities

Required Skills
  • 3+ years in DevRel, growth engineering, or a developer-facing role at a dev tools or infrastructure company

  • Proficient builder — can ship demos, integrations, and tools in Python and/or TypeScript

  • Deep knowledge of the AI agent ecosystem — MCP, frameworks, model providers, and the communities around them

  • Track record producing technical content developers actually engage with

  • Strong ecosystem instincts — knows which communities matter and how to show up in them

  • Experience with partner/ecosystem integrations

  • Prides themselves on being in the conversation — follows the space closely enough to react to news same-day

Join The Movement

We're building the infrastructure that turns AI agents from demos into production systems. This is your chance to be the person who brings that story to the world.

If you want to look back in 5 years and say, "I helped build that," we want to talk to you.
