Hellyeah AI - hellyeahai.com
San Francisco Bay Area (You will be building this brand new office with our stellar team as we value your taste)
Hellyeah AI is building AI-native growth and marketing infrastructure for the next generation of fast-growing companies. Tools like text-to-app, code generation, and agentic workflows are collapsing the cost of building. As creation gets easier, distribution becomes the new moat.
We are building the growth layer for that future.
Our belief is simple: the next generation of builders will not just prompt software into existence. They will also expect growth, distribution, testing, and launch execution to become agentic.
Hellyeah exists to make that real.
We are hiring a Founding Head of Developer Growth to own adoption across the builder ecosystem.
This is not a conventional DevRel role.
This is not a lightweight community role.
This is not a generic partnerships role.
You will be responsible for turning Hellyeah from a product into a developer growth movement.
You will drive downloads, activation, ecosystem penetration, and community-led distribution by working across:
hackathons and launch programs
ecosystem partnerships
developer communities
ambassador networks
builder education and content
product feedback loops
grassroots distribution
You will work closely with the founders and operate as one of the core people shaping how Hellyeah wins.
We want a killer.
And you will have unlimited budget.
Design and run adoption programs that drive real product usage
Launch hackathons, build challenges, demo contests, and ecosystem campaigns
Build strategic relationships with AI-native builder platforms and developer ecosystems
Get Hellyeah embedded into the workflows and communities of tools like Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor, and similar platforms
Create community loops that convert interest into downloads, activation, and advocacy
Develop ambassador, champion, and power-user programs
Build trust with developer communities through credibility, speed, and real usefulness
Partner with product and growth teams to turn field insights into product improvements
Define the operating playbook for developer growth from 0 to 1
This role is for someone who wants to build, not inherit. You might be a former founding AE, first revenue hire, hybrid growth-and-sales operator, or ex-founder with very strong commercial instincts. You know how to sell products that are new, imperfect, and not yet fully understood by the market.
You are excited by AI and what is possible with it. You do not wait for a fully formed brand, mature playbook, or big team before moving. You know how to get signal from messy environments and turn that into traction. You care about pipeline, customers, and revenue. You are channel-agnostic and outcome-driven.
Strong experience in developer products, ecosystem growth, DevRel, product-led growth, or community-led growth
Track record of driving real adoption, not just awareness
Experience with early-stage or fast-moving startup environments
Deep intuition for how developer tools spread
Ability to engage founders, developers, ecosystem operators, and technical partners credibly
High-agency operator who can create momentum from scratch
Comfortable in ambiguity and biased toward action
Strong understanding of builder workflows, internet-native communities, and AI-native product ecosystems
Bonus if you can code, ship demos, work in CLI environments, or have experience with APIs / open source / SDK / developer tooling
In this role, success does not look like:
vanity partnerships
passive communities
event volume without usage
content without conversion
Success looks like:
meaningful SDK downloads
strong activation rates
repeat usage from builders
ecosystem integrations that matter
community-generated content and advocacy
Hellyeah becoming a default recommendation inside builder circles
This role is probably not for you if:
you want a slow-moving, process-heavy environment
you prefer managing programs over creating momentum
you are strong at relationship maintenance but weak at driving outcomes
you need perfect clarity before acting
you want a DevRel title without owning growth
We believe AI is changing how products are built.
We also believe it will change how products grow.
If software creation is becoming agentic, growth will too.
This role is about helping define that future.
Send us:
a short note on why you are relevant
examples of ecosystems, communities, or products you helped grow
proof of adoption you have driven
anything you have built, launched, or made spread
We are not looking for polished corporate applicants.
We are looking for people who know how to make things move. Super competitive pay and significant equity.

01How are retention, activation, and reactivating-lapsed accounts measured?
Why ask this: Triggered when lifecycle or retention signals appear. Triggered by the posting’s mention of lifecycle / retention signals.
Keyword stuffing, fabricated bullets, or borrowed metrics tend to backfire in the first screen. Use these as a checklist, not a script.
