Raycast makes it simple, fast and delightful to control your tools. We're looking for a Developer Advocate to join our small team to grow, inspire and empower our community of developers to create the ecosystem of productivity tools with us.
Raycast is a native Mac application with a significant focus on top-notch UI and interactions. We genuinely care about user experience, performance, privacy and ease of use. We had enough of dealing with slow and clunky tools. Raycast is our attempt to let you enjoy your daily workflows without all the distractions.
From the beginning of Raycast, we were keen to provide an API to developers that enables them to build extensions. Paired with a strong developer community, we believe in growing an ecosystem of productivity tools for individuals and teams. Our API is pre-release and it will be a step-change for Raycast to reach developers around the world. At the center of this is our community and we need someone to lead, expand and nurture it.
We're a fully remote company and looking for candidates in the UTC timezone (London, Lisbon, Dakar, ...) ±3 hours. This position is for a full-time employment.
