Our Customer Success team — The Heartbeat of Deepgram — sits at the intersection of partners, product, and growth. We don’t just “manage accounts.” We make Deepgram succeed inside our partners’ environments by combining deep technical expertise, commercial instinct, and an AI-native way of working — and by building the systems that make the whole team’s work compound over time. A Partner Success Engineer, Infrastructure is a hands-on customer success representative who drives joint adoption, solves hard technical problems, uncovers expansion, and owns a portfolio of strategic infrastructure partners end to end. This is a specialized seat focused on the silicon, hardware, cloud, inference, and security platforms that Deepgram’s voice AI runs on — the partners whose chips, servers, accelerators (CPU/GPU/NPU), cloud and inference platforms, on-device and edge runtimes, and confidential-computing or model-security layers determine where and how our models can be deployed. Increasingly, our largest opportunities depend on meeting customers wherever their data and compute live — self-hosted, on-premises, air-gapped, single-tenant dedicated, and at the edge. The infrastructure partners in this portfolio are how we get there, both as a distribution channel and as the technical foundation for secure, performant deployment. You’ll own that motion: turning deep technical validation into joint go-to-market, co-sell, and durable channel growth. Who You Are You’re not a traditional CSM, Technical Account Manager or Partner Manager. You operate at the intersection of three competencies, and you’re genuinely strong across all three: • Expert technical consulting — you run demos, guide deployment architecture discussions, troubleshoot integrations, and help partners and their customers stand up Deepgram across self-hosted, on-prem, dedicated, and edge environments. No coding required, but you’re fluent in APIs, containers and orchestration, inference on GPUs/accelerators, and real technical conversations. • Strategic partner management — you build trust from individual developers and platform engineers up to CTOs, own the full partner lifecycle, and turn technical adoption into channel growth across OEMs, distributors, cloud and inference providers, and other multi-party commercial relationships. • AI-native operating model — AI is how you work, not a tool you occasionally reach for. When you hit recurring work, your instinct is to build the system that removes it. You may have been a Partner Manager, Channel Manager, Technical Account Manager, Solutions, Deployment, or Sales Engineer, Implementation or Infrastructure Engineer, strategic CSM, or Support Engineer — ideally with exposure to infrastructure, platform, or hardware ecosystems. Whatever your path, you’re probably strongest in one or two of these competencies — but you can demonstrate all three, and you’re eager for a role where you deploy them concurrently. You thrive on bringing definition to ambiguity. You form a point of view and bring a recommendation rather than staying in open-ended discovery mode. You’re comfortable operating outside your comfort zone, you question the status quo, and you learn fast. What You’ll Do • Serve as the technical advisor and strategic owner for a portfolio of strategic infrastructure partners, engaging everyone from developers and platform/ML engineers to CIOs and CTOs. • Own the full partner lifecycle: onboarding, adoption, technical enablement, expansion, and advocacy. • Drive joint adoption through live demos, workshops, deployment architecture guidance, benchmarking, troubleshooting, and best-practice recommendations — making Deepgram successful inside the partner’s environment and on the partner’s hardware and platforms. • Lead joint technical validation: scope and run POCs and evaluations that prove Deepgram models on partner infrastructure across self-hosted, on-prem, air-gapped, dedicated, and on-device/edge deployments, including security-sensitive and regulated use cases. • Run discovery continuously: surface partner problems, understand their business impact, and translate them into actionable requirements for product and engineering. • Identify and scope expansion (cross-sell, upsell, multi-product, co-sell) in partnership with Sales, and activate partner channels — OEMs, distributors, marketplaces, and cloud/inference providers — to reach their customer base. Lead executive business reviews and joint planning sessions. • Support joint go-to-market and co-marketing in partnership with Marketing — joint blogs, one-pagers, PR, and live demos at partner events and industry conferences — to drive awareness and activate the channel. • Act as the voice of the partner internally — influencing roadmap (especially deployment, self-hosted, security, and edge), GTM strategy, and the tools we build to support partners. • Track adoption, usage, health, and expansion to drive outcomes; travel to partner sites and events as needed. • Operate AI-first by default, and build tools, agents, and workflows that eliminate recurring work for you and the broader team. Your impact is measured by the leverage you create, not just the partners you serve. What We’re Looking For • Significant experience in technical, customer-facing roles — TAM, sales/solutions/deployment engineering, partner or enterprise CS with a strong technical focus, implementation, or support — at API-driven, developer-first, infrastructure, or AI companies. For most people that’s roughly 7+ years, but we care more about the shape of your experience than the exact number. • A track record that blends partner or customer ownership with technical depth: solution and deployment design, hands-on troubleshooting, and commercial growth. • Hands-on experience running demos, POCs, or technical workshops with enterprise partners or customers — leading them, not just attending. • Fluency discussing APIs, integrations, and developer workflows, and troubleshooting L1-style issues (no coding required, but genuinely conversant — not hand-waving). • Working understanding of deployment and infrastructure: containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/Helm), inference on GPUs/accelerators, and the trade-offs across self-hosted, on-prem, air-gapped, dedicated, and edge/on-device deployments — including basic latency, throughput, and benchmarking concepts. • Demonstrated success identifying and landing expansion in complex enterprise or partner accounts. • A strong understanding of partner ecosystems and channel business models — resale, referral, integrations, co-marketing, co-selling — and multi-party commercial dynamics, ideally including hardware/silicon, cloud and inference providers, or OEM/distributor channels. • Experience engaging both technical stakeholders (developers, platform and ML engineers, architects) and executive buyers (CIO, CTO, VP Engineering). • Exceptional communication, influence, and relationship-building — concise and structured, across technical and business audiences. • Something you’ve built — a tool, agent, script, or workflow — that permanently eliminated recurring work. In your application, tell us what it was, what it replaced, and what it’s still doing today. • An AI-native operating model: specific workflows that structurally depend on AI, and a clear account of how you’d rebuild them if those tools disappeared tomorrow. Nice to Have • Experience in machine learning, voice AI, cloud infrastructure, or developer-first technologies. • Familiarity with GPU/accelerator infrastructure and inference optimization — quantization, model serving, throughput/latency tuning, or benchmarking. • Exposure to confidential computing, trusted execution environments, model/weight security, or deployments in regulated industries. • Experience with on-device or edge AI deployment across CPU/GPU/NPU targets, model catalogs, or hardware optimization toolchains. • Telephony / CCaaS / CPaaS background (e.g., Twilio, Genesys) — maps directly to our partner ecosystem. • A background spanning solutions/deployment engineering, TAM, or L1 support alongside CS or partner responsibilities. • Familiarity with channel/partner marketing, enablement programs, or technical enablement asset creation. • Working fluency with automation, scripting, or agent-building (Python, TypeScript, workflow tools, agent frameworks, or equivalent). You don’t need to be a software engineer — just dangerous enough to ship working systems. Compensation Range: $195K - $235K

Over 200,000 developers build with Deepgram’s voice-native foundational models – accessed through APIs, well known partners or as self-managed software – due to our unmatched accuracy, latency and pricing. Customers include software companies building voice products, co-sell partners working with large enterprises, and enterprises solving internal voice AI use cases. The company ended 2024 cash-flow positive with 400+ enterprise customers, 3.3x annual usage growth across the past 4 years, over 50,000 years of audio processed and over 1 trillion words transcribed. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram. About the Role As a Senior Developer Advocate, you are the builder and storyteller who proves what's possible with voice AI — and then shows developers exactly how to do it themselves. You ship reference apps, demos, and technical content that move developers from curiosity to production. You find the friction points before anyone else does and turn them into actionable feedback for Product and Engineering. You show up where developers are — online and in person — and earn trust through technical depth, empathy, and consistency. This is a high-autonomy role. You identify the gaps, define the approach, and drive work to measurable outcomes. You're deep in the Advocacy pillar (content, demos, community, narrative) and proficient in the Experience pillar (you can contribute to SDKs, recipes, and docs when the work calls for it). Your output moves the needle on adoption and retention, not just activity metrics. We're looking for someone based on the US East Coast who can be Deepgram's in-person presence at events, meetups, and workshops in the NY metro area and across the US. What You’ll Do Ship Reference Apps & Demos: Architect and open-source sample apps that solve real-world challenges — building real-time voice agents, orchestrating multiple voice AI models, streaming audio intelligence pipelines. Every demo should be runnable, well-documented, and designed for developers to learn from and build on. Code-First Content: Produce deep-dives, video walkthroughs, and "build-in-public" documentation that moves developers from idea to working prototype in minutes. You write and build for developers. Be the "Zero-Index" Sensor: Act as the first customer for every new feature and API change. Turn feedback from your own builds and from the developer community into Friction Reports that influence Product and Engineering priorities. Own Technical Narrative: Author high-quality technical content across blogs, social media, and video platforms that establishes Deepgram as the default choice for voice AI. Community Engagement: Engage where developers live (GitHub, Reddit, X, Discord, Hacker News) to represent Deepgram, answer questions, and earn community trust through consistent technical presence. In-Person Advocacy: Serve as Deepgram's on-the-ground presence primarily in the US. Lead workshops, speak at meetups and AI conferences, and build relationships with the developer community. Expect ~25% travel. Cross-Pillar Contributions: Contribute to the Developer Experience pillar - building integration recipes, improving SDK documentation, or building demo tooling. Multiply the Team: Document your processes and playbooks. Mentor teammates on content strategy, demo architecture, and community engagement patterns Connect Work to Outcomes: Frame your impact in terms of developer outcomes — sign-ups, activations, content-to-trial conversion, community growth. Articulate the business case and impact for your work. What We’re Looking For Experience: 5+ years in Software Engineering or Developer Relations. You've shipped production code and you've shipped developer-facing content Tech Stack: Solid foundation in JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, Rust, or Go. You're comfortable building APIs, wiring up integrations, and creating clean frontends to showcase your work. AI-First Mindset: You use AI tools in your daily workflow for coding, content, research, automation. You're not just building AI demos; you're productive with AI. Educator Mindset: A portfolio of technical writing, blog posts, talks, or video content that demonstrates that you can make complex topics land with a developer audience. Community Fluency: Experience participating in or building developer communities. You know how to engage with empathy and technical credibility, and when to step back and let the community lead. Technical Communicator: You simplify complex AI orchestration through clear writing, documentation, and high-quality code samples. Developers trust your explanations. High Autonomy: You proactively find the gaps, define the plan, and drive to outcomes without waiting to be pointed at a problem. Location: US East Coast, with the ability to attend and represent Deepgram at events in the NY metro area. Some travel beyond the region (~25%) for conferences and team gatherings. Preferred / Nice-to-Have Deep AI Stack Proficiency: Hands-on experience with the broader "AI Agent" stack — LLM orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex), vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate), and RAG architecture. Media & Real-time Protocols: Experience working with WebSockets, WebRTC, or gRPC. If you understand how audio bytes move across the wire in real-time, you are a top-tier candidate. Engineering Influence: A history of collaborating directly with Product and Engineering teams to shape an API roadmap based on developer friction. Industry Recognition: A digital presence that could span a technical YouTube or Twitch channel, a newsletter, conference speaking history, or OSS contributions that show you've started building an audience. Open Source Leadership: Experience as a maintainer or major contributor to a well-known open-source project, with a focus on community governance and developer onboarding. Cross-Language Versatility: Demonstrating the ability to work across multiple languages to support enterprise-grade reference patterns is a major plus. Automation Mindset: Experience with AI-assisted coding tools or custom CLI utilities to automate your own advocacy workflow. Why This Role Matters Deepgram wins when developers move from "is this possible?" to "this is in production" with zero friction. The East Coast is home to a massive concentration of AI developers, startups, and enterprises building voice-native products. This role puts Deepgram in the room — at meetups, at conferences, in the communities where builders are making technology decisions. As a Senior Developer Advocate for Deepgram, you're the person who earns developer trust through the code you ship, the content you create, and the relationships you build in person.

There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram. About the Role As a Senior AI Community Engineer, you are the person who creates the venues (physical and digital) where developers discover voice AI, try it for the first time, and connect with the builders around them. Where Developer Advocates prove what's possible through code and content, you prove it by putting a keyboard in a developer's hands. You run the builders night where 40 developers make their first API call. You design the workshop that turns curiosity into a working prototype. You build the community infrastructure that identifies the most engaged developers and turns them into Deepgram Champions. Your primary output is programs, events, and activation infrastructure. You manage the end-to-end event lifecycle, the local community health of Deepgram's developer platforms, and the pipeline that converts event attendees into active, retained developers. You measure success by how many developers activate, not how many people saw your content. This role is based in San Francisco. You are Deepgram's in-person presence in the Bay Area at meetups, hack nights, AI conferences, and the local builder community. You also execute Deepgram's broader event strategy and execution across the US, with ~25% travel. What You'll Do Run Events End-to-End: Own the full lifecycle of DevRel events — first-party programs (builders nights, hack nights, virtual dev days), community developer conferences (CFP support, on-site activation), and DevRel's role at partner and industry events. You execute from planning through post-event follow-up and impact measurement. Build the SF Presence: Establish and maintain a regular cadence of in-person programming in the Bay Area that makes Deepgram the default gathering point for voice AI builders. Builders nights, workshop series, partner co-hosted events — you design the formats and run them. Design for Activation: Every event you run has a clear activation goal. Design hands-on workshop formats that get developers to a first API call during the session. Maintain workshop-ready demo infrastructure — facilitator guides, environment setup, and scaffolding that works for 40 people simultaneously. Own Community Health: Manage the health and growth of Deepgram's developer community across Discord, GitHub, Reddit, and social platforms. Run engagement rhythms — office hours, developer spotlights, social listening — and ship monthly friction reports that surface community-sourced issues to Product and Engineering. Build the Champions Pipeline: Identify, cultivate, and activate the most engaged developers in the community. Build the data and relationships needed to launch a formal Champions program — you know who your best builders are because you've worked with them, not because they're names on a spreadsheet. Measure What Matters: Track event-to-activation conversion as your primary success metric. What percentage of attendees make their first API call within 14 days? Connect your work to developer outcomes — sign-ups, activations, community growth, Champion pipeline — and report on impact, not just activity. Scale the Playbook: Document repeatable event playbooks, community engagement patterns, and workshop formats so the team can scale this work beyond one person and one geography. Coordinate Across the Business: Work with Field Marketing on trade shows, with Partnerships on co-hosted events, and with the Advocacy team to ensure the content and demos they produce land in front of real developers at your events. What We're Looking For Experience: 3–5 years in Developer Relations, Community Management, Technical Event Production, or a related field. You've run developer-facing events and community programs — not just attended them. Event Execution: A track record of producing technical events — meetups, hack nights, workshops, conference activations — from concept through post-event measurement. You know the difference between an event that generates buzz and one that generates activations. Community Building: Experience growing and sustaining a developer community. You understand engagement loops, community health metrics, and when to lead vs. when to step back and let the community help itself. Technical Credibility: You don't need to be a Staff engineer, but you need to be technical enough to triage developer questions live, run a workshop on API integrations, and maintain demo infrastructure. Comfortable with JavaScript or Python and familiar with API-first development. AI-First Mindset: You use AI tools in your daily workflow — for planning, content, research, automation. You're building with AI, not just talking about it. Local Presence: Based in San Francisco with the ability to be Deepgram's consistent in-person presence in the Bay Area. ~25% travel beyond the region for conferences and team gatherings. High Autonomy: You find the gaps, design the format, and drive to outcomes without waiting to be handed a plan. Preferred / Nice-to-Have Developer Event Production at Scale: Experience producing events for 50–200+ developers, including logistics, A/V, catering coordination, and venue management. Bonus if you've produced hybrid or virtual events. Workshop Design: A portfolio of hands-on technical workshops you've designed and facilitated — ideally with measurable activation or completion outcomes. Community Tooling: Experience with community platforms (Discord, Discourse, Orbit, Common Room) and community analytics. Bonus if you've built custom community tooling or automation. Media & Real-time Protocols: Familiarity with WebSockets, WebRTC, or real-time audio — enough to understand how Deepgram's technology works and explain it to developers in a workshop setting. Partnership Coordination: Experience working across organizational boundaries to co-produce events or programs with external partners. Champions / Ambassador Programs: Experience designing or running a developer champions, MVP, or ambassador program. Content as a Complement: While content isn't your primary output, the ability to produce event recaps, community spotlights, or short-form social content is a plus. Why This Role Matters Deepgram wins when developers move from "is this possible?" to "this is in production" with zero friction. The Bay Area is home to the densest concentration of AI builders and voice AI startups in the world. This role puts Deepgram in the room — at the hack night, at the meetup, in the community spaces where developers are making technology decisions. As a Community Engineer, you don't just tell developers what's possible — you create the experience where they prove it to themselves.

Design and maintain billing pipelines and develop billing dashboards and analytics tools. | 5+ years in billing, payments, or financial data systems with backend proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or Go and relational database experience. | Company Overview Deepgram is the leading platform underpinning the emerging trillion-dollar Voice AI economy, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and building production-grade voice agents at scale. More than 200,000 developers and 1,300+ organizations build voice offerings that are ‘Powered by Deepgram’, including Twilio, Cloudflare, Sierra, Decagon, Vapi, Daily, Cresta, Granola, and Jack in the Box. Deepgram’s voice-native foundation models are accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted and on-premises software, with unmatched accuracy, low latency, and cost efficiency. Backed by a recent Series C led by leading global investors and strategic partners, Deepgram has processed over 50,000 years of audio and transcribed more than 1 trillion words. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram. Company Operating Rhythm At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance. Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do. Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5. About the Role As a Billing & Analytics Engineer on the Console & Analytics team, you will own the systems that turn Deepgram’s raw API usage into accurate invoices, revenue-grade analytics, and the self-service billing experience our customers depend on. This is the financial backbone of a high-growth AI company: every dollar of revenue flows through the code you build and maintain. You will design and operate the full billing pipeline—from usage event ingestion and metering through aggregation, rating, invoicing, and integration with third-party billing and CRM platforms. You’ll also own the analytics surfaces that give customers visibility into their consumption and give internal teams the data they need to operate the business. This role pulls billing and analytics engineering out of the broader Console team, creating a dedicated function that insulates and accelerates Deepgram’s product-led growth (PLG) effort. What You’ll Do Usage Metering & Event Processing: Design, build, and maintain the pipeline that ingests, validates, and processes usage messages from Deepgram’s inference and voice agent services. Ensure events are captured with sub-second reliability at scale, with idempotency and exactly-once semantics to guarantee billing accuracy. Usage Aggregation & Summarization: Build the aggregation layer that rolls raw usage events into usage summaries—by customer, product, time window, and pricing dimension. Optimize for query performance so that both real-time dashboards and end-of-period billing runs operate within SLA. Billing System Integration: Own the integration with usage-based billing platforms (M3ter, Metronome, or equivalent). Implement rating, plan management, and invoice generation logic. Ensure billing data reconciles cleanly with usage records and that edge cases (overages, credits, mid-cycle plan changes, enterprise commitments) are handled correctly. CRM & RevOps Integration: Build and maintain integrations with Salesforce and RevOps tooling to synchronize customer accounts, contract terms, entitlements, and billing status. Partner with Finance and RevOps to ensure billing data supports revenue recognition, forecasting, and audit requirements. Console Billing Experience: Develop the customer-facing billing and usage views within the Deepgram Console. Build clear, actionable dashboards that show real-time and historical usage, current spend, billing history, and plan details. Design the self-service flows for plan upgrades, payment method management, and invoice retrieval. In-DC Access, Permissions & Token Management: Own the billing-adjacent authorization surfaces: API key and token management, usage-based access controls, entitlement enforcement, and the permission model that gates feature access based on customer plan and billing status. Ensure these systems are secure, auditable, and performant. Analytics & Reporting: Build internal analytics pipelines and dashboards that surface usage trends, cohort behavior, conversion funnels, and revenue metrics to Product, Growth, and Finance teams. Instrument the billing system for operational observability—alerting on anomalies, reconciliation failures, and SLA breaches. Data Integrity & Reconciliation: Implement automated reconciliation between usage events, aggregated summaries, billing records, and payment processor data. Build alerting and self-healing mechanisms to catch and resolve discrepancies before they impact customers or revenue reporting. What We’re Looking For 5+ years of experience building and operating billing, payments, metering, or financial data systems in a SaaS or usage-based pricing environment. Strong backend engineering skills in at least one of: Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Go, or similar. Comfort working across the stack when needed. Deep experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and data pipeline design—schema modeling, query optimization, and high-volume event processing. Hands-on experience integrating with billing or subscription platforms (e.g., Stripe, M3ter, Metronome, Chargebee, Zuora) and CRM systems (Salesforce). Understanding of usage-based pricing models, metering patterns, and the edge cases that come with them (proration, overages, commitments, credits, multi-currency). Experience building reconciliation and data integrity systems that ensure financial accuracy at scale. Strong communication skills—you can partner effectively with Finance, RevOps, Product, and Growth teams to translate business requirements into reliable systems. A security-conscious mindset, especially around authentication, token management, and access control. Nice to Have Experience with usage-based billing platforms (M3ter, Metronome) specifically, or building custom metering systems from scratch. Familiarity with product-led growth (PLG) patterns: self-serve signup, usage gating, upgrade flows, and conversion instrumentation. Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS, Pub/Sub) for high-throughput usage event processing. Background in revenue operations, revenue recognition (ASC 606), or SOX-relevant billing controls. Experience with analytics/BI tooling (Looker, Metabase, dbt) and building internal data products. Prior work at a company where billing accuracy directly impacted customer trust and revenue at scale. Why This Role Matters Deepgram’s growth is powered by a usage-based model where customers pay for what they consume. Every usage event, every invoice, every plan upgrade flows through the systems this role owns. As Billing & Analytics Engineer, you’ll ensure that Deepgram gets paid accurately and on time, that customers have full visibility into their consumption, and that internal teams have the financial data they need to scale the business. By creating a dedicated billing engineering function, this role directly enables the Console and PLG teams to move faster on product innovation without billing complexity as a bottleneck.
