Base Career helps you apply smarter for this job.
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.
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.
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
Skip the repetitive application forms
