Developer Community

Adaptive ML is building a reinforcement learning platform to tune, evaluate, and serve  specialized language models. We are pioneering the development of task-specific LLMs using synthetic data, creating the foundational tools and products needed for models to self-critique and self-improve based on simple guidelines. Adaptive Engine enables companies to build and deploy the best LLMs for their business. Our founders previously worked together to create state-of-the-art open LLMs. We closed a $20M seed with Index & ICONIQ in early 2024 and are live with our first enterprise customers (e.g., AT&T).

We’re looking for a driven and hands-on contributor to our Developer Community efforts—someone ready to help grow and activate the ecosystem around Adaptive ML. In this role, you’ll lead high-impact initiatives that shape how developers discover, onboard, build, and scale applications using our platform. You’ll serve as a critical link between our enterprise AI technology and the technical community—helping to influence both product development and adoption.

You’ll help shape and execute the strategy for Adaptive ML’s developer experience and community—working across partners, customers, and independent developers. From producing technical content to driving online engagement and organizing global events, you’ll help build a vibrant ecosystem around our products. As the voice of the developer within Adaptive ML, you’ll play a key role in shaping how we build, communicate, and grow. You’ll also be a key internal user of our proprietary LLM stack, Adaptive Harmony–contributing to reproducibility efforts and scientific benchmarks that generate the technical insights and results needed to showcase the platform's capabilities in external marketing content.

This is a highly cross-functional role: you’ll collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, and Marketing to ensure our tools resonate with technical users. You should thrive at the intersection of technology and community engagement—able to translate complex ideas, foster meaningful connections, and create resources that make it easier (and more exciting) for others to build. We’re looking for someone who brings technical depth, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for engaging with developers. 

This is an in-person role based at our New York or Paris office.

• Create high-quality technical content—including demos, blog posts, integration guides, and documentation—that showcases key product features and demonstrates the capabilities of our platform;

• Lead our social media efforts for technical audiences, with a focus on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), crafting compelling posts that spark conversation, highlight product value, and build relationships with developers and decision-makers;

• Collaborate with technical teams to create, run, and promote benchmarks or scientific experiments that highlight Adaptive's product capabilities and differentiation;

• Develop a deep understanding of the diverse needs of our users—ranging from individual developers to enterprise teams—across customers, partners, and other key stakeholders;

• Produce educational resources, such as webinars, video tutorials, and livestreams that support learning and successful implementation of our platform;

• Represent Adaptive at conferences, events, and meetups—delivering technical talks, running workshops, and showcasing live demos to engage the partners, developers, and the wider ML/AI community.

The background below is only suggestive of a few pointers we believe could be relevant; we welcome applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds, do not hesitate to get in touch if you think you could be a great fit even if the below doesn't fully describe you.

• 2-3+ years of experience in developer relations, advocacy, or technical community-building, preferably with a focus on AI/ML;

• Technical fluency in AI/ML, with hands-on experience building with machine learning technologies and understanding the developer journey from experimentation to deployment;

• Active involvement in developer communities, with a demonstrated ability to engage through writing, speaking, and/or open-source contributions;

• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly in both written and verbal formats;

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience;

• A portfolio of technical content and public-facing developer engagement, including social media, demos or blog contributions.

• Comprehensive medical (health, dental, and vision) insurance;

• 401(k) plan with 4% matching (or equivalent);

• Unlimited PTO — we strongly encourage at least 5 weeks each year;

• Mental health, wellness, and personal development stipends;

• Visa sponsorship if you wish to relocate to New York or Paris
