While others wrap Bing or Google APIs, we own our own global web index. This allows us to offer what Big Tech cannot: Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) guarantees, unbiased ranking, and total sovereignty. Our Search API is currently powering the next generation of LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.). We are looking for a hybrid Product Marketer and Developer Advocate to own the GTM strategy for this platform. You will bridge the gap between our engineering team and the developer market. You will not just market the product; you will demonstrate how to build with it. Role Overview This is not a marketing role. We don't need fluffy adjectives; we need technical truth.

Answer questions, surface use cases, and establish Brave as a trusted solution for AI builders.

Provide insights on developer needs, friction points, and competitive dynamics. Launch Support (Technical): Partner with Product Marketing to support launches by delivering the technical assets required for adoption, including demos, code samples, and documentation updates. Developer Funnel Optimization: Improve conversion from signup to active usage by identifying friction points in onboarding, SDK usage, and implementation.
