Hiring: Developer Relations Engineer Company: Vast.ai Location: Los Angeles, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-10 10:29:34 Employment Type: On-site Target Skills & Keywords : Docker, Fine-tuning, GitHub, Hugging Face, Linux, Python, REST, vLLM About the job Required Skills: •This is an engineering job that happens in public. You will be our heaviest user. •Most of your week goes to renting GPUs on Vast and building things on them. Serving open source models with vLLM and SGLang. Fine-tuning. Running ComfyUI pipelines. Keeping live inference endpoints up, including token endpoints on markets like OpenRouter. Writing the example repos, Docker templates, and benchmarks that other developers copy. •The rest of your week is spent showing your work. Short videos, technical write-ups, answers in Discord and on Reddit, hackathons. You are not building the Vast product. You are using it harder than any of our customers, in the open, and reporting back everything that breaks. •If you want a content calendar and a campaign plan, this is the wrong job. If you already spin up GPUs on weekends because you want to see whether the new model actually runs, keep reading. •Run real workloads on Vast every week. Deploy, fine-tune, and serve open source models, and keep live endpoints running. •Build public example repos, Docker templates, and benchmarks that developers can clone and use. •Turn what you build into teaching: guides, short videos, talks, livestreams. •Be the most technically credible voice in our Discord, on Reddit, and on X. Qualifications: •Content or side projects that found a real audience. •Previous developer relations, community, or customer-facing work. Useful here, but it is a bonus and not the job. •VLLM or SGLang internals, distributed training with FSDP or DeepSpeed, CUDA. •Time at a cloud, GPU, AI infrastructure, or developer tools company. •Ship several public example projects on Vast, including at least one live serving endpoint. •Publish benchmarks or guides that developers actually use and pass around. •Become the recognizable technical voice in our community channels. •Represent Vast at a sponsored hackathon. Compensation: •$160,000 - $200,000 / year •$160,000 to $200,000 base, plus equity and bonus Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
