Job Description

About Motia

Motia is an open‑source, event‑driven backend and AI‑workflow framework that lets developers model APIs, automations, and agents as one cohesive event graph. We’re a small team, pre‑seed, shipping fast and building a passionate community of engineers.

Here is what Motia is aspiring to bring to the dev community:

- Rails‑style scaffolding & conventions (Rails, Django, Laravel, . NET Core) - Express‑level flexibility (Express, FastAPI, Flask)

- Airflow/Temporal‑grade async resiliency

- N8N/Gumloop‑class customizable visualization

- LangGraph/Mastra code‑first orchestration

- Vercel/Supabase‑quality infra, deployment & observability

Github:

We believe every modern company is becoming an AI company and the framework/platform they will run on will be Motia!

Why We’re Hiring

Our GitHub repo is gaining stars, the Discord is waking up, and questions are piling in. We need a builder‑storyteller who can turn that spark into a self‑sustaining fire: code demos, videos, docs, talks, and a healthy dev community. You’ll be our first DevRel hire and will define how Motia speaks to—and learns from—its users.

What You’ll Do (First 12 Months)
  • Create canonical demos : Ship weekly examples in TypeScript  and Python
  • Level‑up docs : Rewrite quick‑starts, author deep‑dives, and own release notes.
  • Teach in public : Host live‑coding streams, Twitter/X Spaces, and short video tutorials.
  • Speak & write : Present at meetups/conferences, publish posts on our blog and Dev.to.
  • Nurture community : Answer Discord threads daily, surface product feedback, and convert power users into contributors.
  • Track and report KPIs : GitHub ★ growth, NPM installs, VS Code/Cursor extension installs, Discord DAU, external content mentions.
You Might Be a Fit If You Have
  • 3+ years as a software engineer  and 1+ year in Developer Relations for an OSS dev tool.
  • Hands‑on skill with JavaScript/TypeScript and Python; you enjoy shipping high quality, runnable code.
  • A portfolio of talks, blog posts, or videos that moved real metrics—show us numbers.
  • Clear, concise technical writing chops.
  • Comfort on camera and a genuine voice on social.
  • Empathy for both early adopters and skeptics; you turn feedback into actionable GitHub issues.

Nice‑to‑Haves

  • Experience with event‑driven or serverless architectures (Kafka, Temporal, AWS Lambda, etc.).
  • Familiarity with LLM/agent frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI).
  • Prior "founding DevRel" experience at a seed‑stage startup.
Success Metrics
  • GitHub stars: 2 k → 6 k
  • Consistent NPM install growth
  • Discord community: 100 → 1 000 weekly active members.
  • X follower growth: 400 -> 3000
Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary (USD): $110k–$150k (IC) • $140k–$175k (lead), adjusted for location and seniority.
  • Health, dental, and vision (US) or stipend (international).
Hiring Process
  1. 30‑min intro call → share past DevRel wins (with metrics).
  2. Take‑home task (≤ 3 hrs): Create an agent or automation in Motia
  3. Record 10-15 min video showing you building the automation and demo it working
  4. Team panel (engineering + product).
  5. Offer.
How to Apply

Email  mike@motia.dev with:

  • Subject: DevRel –
  • Your GitHub, talk recordings, or writing samples.
  • One paragraph outlining an open‑source launch you owned and the numbers it moved.

We review every application and respond within five business days. We can’t wait to meet you.
