@edwinarbus, when he was on the Cursor team, once gifted me $10K Credits and a 1-year Cursor Ultra subscription, and now Grok Bot relies on it, so this one must be retweeted! https://t.co/9lzhlO9Nhy
What this role does
The Claude Platform is Anthropic's API, and many customers use it to bring Claude into their own products. This person will own its external communications end to end: from flagship launches to the steady stream of capability updates and the news cadence aimed at developers.
Day to day, they work with the platform's product and engineering teams, product marketing, and developer relations. The responsibilities break down into five areas: · Own the full communications process for capability launches, product updates, and developer news · Maintain relationships with and brief reporters, newsletter writers, and creators covering the AI platform, enterprise software, and API economy · Help platform leaders prepare remarks for interviews, podcasts, roundtables, and similar settings · Keep the external narrative aligned with how the product is actually sold and supported, and bring customer feedback back to the team · Decide, across media, social, owned channels, and community, which channel a given item should use and when multiple channels should go out together
A\ What kind of person is wanted
The hard requirements are experience in communications, PR, or product marketing, plus hands-on experience with platforms, APIs, developer, or enterprise products; understanding both developer culture and how enterprises buy; judging which product moments are worth amplifying and which are not; and being proactive and not keeping score of personal credit.
Bonus points include 8–10 years of relevant experience, having done communications at a developer platform or API-first company, existing relationships with reporters and analysts in AI platforms and enterprise tech, having done communications for AI/ML products, and being "very online"—watching Hacker News and developer social circles and spotting signals early.
