Developer Relations Engineer

What You'll Do

• Write and publish technical content — blog posts, project teardowns, HN writeups — drawn from what the team is actually building
• Build Fractional's presence on channels where strong engineers spend time: Hacker News, technical podcasts, conferences, and niche communities
• Run high-signal community touchpoints: dinners, workshops, small events where top engineers encounter Fractional in a non-transactional context
• Drive open source contributions and external projects that reflect Fractional's engineering caliber
• Build partnerships with complementary technical brands — co-sponsoring events, co-publishing content, cross-pollinating communities
• Feed signal back to engineering leadership: what practitioners are excited about, skeptical of, building toward

What You Bring

• Strong engineering foundation. You've shipped software and cared about doing it right. You understand why good system design matters and can have a credible technical conversation with a senior engineer about AI architecture, eval design, or production tradeoffs.
• Exceptional writing. You write with clarity and specificity. You know the difference between content that earns attention and content that fills a feed. You've written things engineers have actually read and shared.
• Taste for what resonates technically. You have a feel for the developer zeitgeist — what practitioners find credible, what reads as hype, what makes an HN post land versus get flagged.
• High ownership mindset. You jump in without instruction, embrace a "no job too big, no job too small" mindset, and want to shape strategy and culture from day one.
• Low ego, high integrity. You help others and ask for help. You hold a high bar for honesty, with yourself and your team.

Engineering at Fractional

• We're opinionated about what works in production, and we write about it — from why most eval setups fail by collapsing everything into a single score, to why defaulting to chat interfaces limits AI's impact.
• We have a distinct approach to building AI systems: applying standard software engineering discipline to the non-deterministic world of frontier AI. We design systems around testable hypotheses, curate durable datasets, and ensure what we ship keeps working long after we've handed it over.
• After shipping 30+ AI products, we have strong opinions on what makes AI products succeed and how to get them into production.
