About the role

About Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open source platform used by developers to build production-grade AI agents. It's an SDK and the infrastructure to run agents reliably at scale, so teams can focus on the product instead of the plumbing.

Our Cloud product is a managed service where we deploy our users' code and auto-scale from zero to millions of executions. With the rise of AI, being able to offload async tasks reliably is a key part of any developer's toolkit - we're building the infrastructure to make that a reality.

About the position

We're looking for someone based in San Francisco whose entire job is turning up to events, meeting developers, advocating for Trigger, and being brilliant. This role is deliberately narrow: it's 100% events, not product education, content strategy, or general marketing.

The work breaks down into three things: showing up to existing events (meetups, AI Tinkers, YC events, conferences) and being visibly excellent in the room; getting speaking slots at those events and delivering awesome talks; and, over time, organizing our own events or co-hosting them with other big tech names, like joint hackathons at the YC offices.

The goal is pure awareness. You might not even mention Trigger.dev by name at most events - the point is being visibly excellent and well-liked in the rooms where developers already are, so that a groundswell of Trigger.dev mentions builds naturally across the SF ecosystem over time.

What you'll be doing

You'll do a variety of things including:

Turn up to events, meet developers, advocate for Trigger, be brilliant - attending SF developer events, meetups, AI Tinkers, YC events, and conferences, and building genuine relationships across the SF developer and founder ecosystem

Get speaking slots at existing events, deliver awesome talks - pitching yourself for talks and panels, and showing up polished and memorable when you get the slot

Organize our own events (or co-host them with other big tech names) - running Trigger.dev meetups or talks, and exploring joint events like hackathons co-hosted at spaces such as the YC offices

Optionally writing blog recaps or producing short YouTube clips of talks, where it's a natural byproduct of the work rather than the focus

Working largely independently - you'll be on your own in SF a lot, so being deeply self-motivated is essential

Reporting back on activity: number of events attended, video of any talks given, and a written recap of who you met

Requirements

You really need to have:

Genuine stage presence and charisma - we'll want to see video evidence of you speaking, presenting, or performing (YouTube is the bar)

A developer background; you should be credible and comfortable in a room of engineers

High self-motivation - this role has little day-to-day oversight and a real risk of isolation, so you need to thrive working independently

Genuine belief in what Trigger.dev is building, since you'll be representing us informally in every room you're in

You'll be an amazing fit if you:

Are an ex-YC founder, giving you access to YC-only events and community

Existing relationships or an existing audience within the SF/AI developer or founder scene
