What the role involves
About the Role
We’re looking for a Head of Developer Relations to help make Wasmer one of the most respected and recognizable developer platforms in the world.
This is not a traditional marketing role. It is a technical, creative, and highly leveraged role for someone who loves building, teaching, writing, speaking, and helping developers discover new possibilities.
You will work closely with the CEO and the rest of the team to shape how Wasmer is understood across the ecosystem. You will turn product capabilities into clear narratives, great examples, memorable demos, strong technical content, and developer trust.
You should care deeply about craft: the quality of examples, the clarity of docs, the sharpness of a launch post, the polish of a demo, the credibility of a conference talk, and the feeling a developer gets the first time they try a product.
If you are the kind of person who wants to help define a category, inspire developers, and make ambitious technology accessible and exciting, we want to hear from you.
About Us
At Wasmer, we work on the software that will power the next generation of computing platforms for local, cloud, and edge applications using WebAssembly.
Similar to how Node.js enabled server-side JavaScript, Wasmer enables server-side WebAssembly for all supported languages like C/C++, Java, Go, Rust, and many others.
Our mission is to make software universally available.
We are committed to open source and to helping developers and companies worldwide adopt WebAssembly as a universal standard for building and deploying software.
About You
You are a builder with strong taste.
You love explaining ideas, simplifying complexity, and showing people what great technology makes possible. You probably have a portfolio of things you have made public: blog posts, talks, tutorials, videos, examples, open-source projects, demos, threads, docs, workshops, or experiments.
You know that trust is earned. You care about technical accuracy. You can tell when content is vague, overhyped, or useless, and you refuse to publish that kind of work.
You are excited by the idea of helping a deeply technical company become far more visible, understood, and loved by developers across the internet.
You thrive in a small, ambitious, fast-moving team. You are proactive, hands-on, and comfortable switching between writing code, writing copy, speaking publicly, collecting feedback, and helping shape launches.
What You Will Do
Work closely with the CEO on Wasmer’s external technical presence and developer narrative
Create technical content that developers genuinely want to read, watch, share, and build from
Build and maintain examples, starter projects, demos, and educational materials that showcase real use cases
Improve docs, onboarding flows, and sample code to make Wasmer easier to learn and adopt
Organize and support conference talks, meetups, workshops, livestreams, and other developer-facing events
Represent Wasmer publicly online and in person across developer communities
Publish blog posts, launch content, tutorials, demos, and social content around Wasmer and the broader WebAssembly ecosystem
Identify compelling use cases and turn them into clear stories that help developers understand why Wasmer matters
Gather feedback from developers and bring product, documentation, and ecosystem insights back to the team
Help increase Wasmer’s visibility, credibility, and adoption across the internet
What You Need
Strong engineering skills and the ability to build credible technical demos and examples
Excellent written and verbal communication
Experience creating technical content such as articles, tutorials, docs, demos, talks, videos, workshops, or open-source projects
Strong product taste and a sharp sense for what makes developer tools exciting, understandable, and trustworthy
Ability to explain complex technical ideas clearly and precisely
Comfort speaking publicly and engaging with developers online and in person
A self-driven, pro
What they ask for
About Wasmer
We are working on the software that will power the next generation of Cloud Computing (Edge Computing) platforms using WebAssembly. You can see us as a mix between Docker (but 100x more performant in startup time, and with 100x more lightweight containers), npm (we released the first WebAssembly package manager: wapm.io) and the JVM (but more universal).
