We’re hiring a Staff Developer Advocate to own the Pinecone community—online and in-person—with a particular focus on building a strong SF/Bay Area presence. This role is for a senior, hands-on technical communicator who can build developer relationships at scale, run high-signal programs, and translate community needs into product feedback and compelling learning experiences. To succeed in this role, you must be able to build and teach with Pinecone’s AI products—showing developers how to create reliable, scalable AI applications where knowledge and retrieval are central. You’ll translate best practices into practical learning experiences through tutorials, short-form videos, docs contributions, hackathon mentorship, and social posts. Because the team and customer base are scaling quickly, you should be comfortable operating with high autonomy and strong judgment in a fast-paced environment.

Community Programs (Global): Lead and grow Pinecone’s Discord: drive engagement, improve onboarding, set norms, and keep the space high-signal
Run recurring office hours that consistently help developers unblock, learn best practices, and ship

Events (SF/Bay Area): Own Pinecone’s SF-area community presence: local meetups, hackathons, and larger Bay Area events
Develop event programming (themes, speaker selection, talks/workshops), run promotion and attendance growth, and ensure each event produces reusable assets and follow-on engagement
Technical content + assets: Create and maintain hands-on technical assets (sample apps, demos, code walkthroughs) aligned to Pinecone’s core developer use cases: RAG systems and retrieval quality
Knowledge management patterns using Assistant and other incubating products
Platform/infra patterns for scale and reliability
Publish content across Pinecone channels and external platforms, grounded in what the community is actually trying to build
Requirements:
8+ years of experience in a technical role such as software engineering, solution engineering, or machine learning
Proficient in 2+ programming languages
