Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Head of Developer Relations role stands out because it sits in a developer-first corner of SaaS where adoption is earned through documentation, SDK ergonomics, and community trust. Nutrient’s product focus on document workflows implies a technically demanding platform with real integration surface area, making DevRel a strategic function rather than a purely promotional one. The remit spans developer education, feedback loops, and ownership of the end-to-end developer experience.
From a SaaS career perspective, the position builds durable skills that travel across API-driven products: shaping onboarding journeys, turning product capabilities into usable examples, and translating community signal into product and documentation improvements. It also offers practice in cross-functional influence, working at the seam between engineering, product, and marketing where many SaaS companies struggle to keep developer experience coherent as usage scales.
The role is best suited to a senior DevRel practitioner who enjoys being the public technical voice while staying close to the craft of writing, demos, and workflows. It will fit someone who prefers measurable community health and documentation outcomes, and who is comfortable setting direction for a function that spans multiple internal stakeholders and external developer audiences.

This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, marketing, and community. You'll create and ship technical content, build relationships across the developer ecosystem, and own the strategy and execution of our documentation and developer experience.

- Create original technical content — blogs, demos, tutorials, videos, and thought leadership that helps developers understand and succeed with Nutrient products
- Build and grow a vibrant developer community through user groups, office hours, ambassador programmes, and discussion forums
- Own developer experience strategy: partner with engineering and documentation teams to create high-quality, discoverable technical docs, SDK guides, and API references
- Review and continuously improve developer workflows across our website, documentation portals, and onboarding experiences
- Track community health metrics and feed developer feedback into product and documentation improvements
What You'll Bring...
- 7+ years in developer relations, developer education, technical writing, or a closely related role
- Strong technical background: comfortable with SDKs, APIs, and backend and frontend languages or developer tooling
- A track record of creating high-quality developer documentation and technical content that developers actually use
- Experience building and growing communities across platforms like Slack, Discord, GitHub, Reddit, or Stack Overflow
- Confident public speaker: comfortable representing a brand to technical audiences at events, webinars, and meet ups
- Collaborative by nature: able to work across engineering, product, design, and marketing with clarity and low ego
- Bonus: experience in a B2D or developer-first product company
