The media landscape for developer tools doesn't look like it did five years ago. We need someone who understands both traditional press and the channels where developers form opinions. You might have come up through an in-house comms team, or you might have run launches inside product marketing, handled press from a DevRel role, or found your way to this work from somewhere adjacent.

You should be a Claude Code user yourself and know the product well.

Responsibilities:

• Own communications for Claude Code, from the big launches to the steady rhythm of updates, community moments, and everything in between
• Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists, newsletter writers, podcasters, and creators covering dev tools and the AI ecosystem
• Lead cross-functional product launch communications, coordinating messaging across comms, marketing, developer relations, and product
• Advise leadership and DevRel when things move fast or catch fire, whether it’s an incident or a community thread
• Translate complex technical work into stories that land with developers and still make sense to broader audiences
• Develop messaging frameworks and content strategies that work across technical and non-technical audiences
• Prepare Claude Code engineers and product leads for external moments: podcasts, talks, press, etc.
• Think across channels (press, social, community, owned) and know which lever to pull for each moment
• Pay attention to what's actually working and build the program from there

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 8–12 years of experience in communications, PR, or developer marketing, with meaningful time focused on technical products or developer audiences
• Use Claude Code heavily and can talk specifically about how you use it in your day-to-day
• Are high-agency and low-ego, with a bias to action
• Write clearly and concisely, whether it's a launch post or a cross-functional update, a lot of context moves through this role and people need to be able to follow it
• Have a deep understanding of both traditional media channels and the emerging platforms where technical communities engage
• Are very online, follow the right people, know what's moving through Hacker News and developer social chatter, and catch things early
• Have real fluency in developer culture and know how trust gets earned there

Strong candidates may also

• Have experience at developer tools companies, infrastructure products, or open source projects
• Have an existing network in developer media, technical journalism, or the creator space
• Have experience managing communications for AI or ML products

The annual compensation range for this role is $185,000-$255,000 USD.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed.
