Our Purpose
At Fiddler, we understand the implications of AI and the impact that it has on human lives. Our company was born with the mission of building trust into AI. The rise of Generative AI and Agents has unlocked generalized intelligence but also widened the risk aperture and made it harder to ensure that AI applications are working well. Fiddler enables organizations to get ahead of these issues by helping deploy trustworthy, and transparent AI solutions.
Fiddler partners with AI-first organizations to help build a long-term framework for responsible AI practices, which, in turn, builds trust with their user base. AI Engineers, Data Science, and business teams use Fiddler AI to monitor, evaluate, secure, analyze, and improve their AI solutions to drive better outcomes. Our platform enables engineering teams and business stakeholders alike to understand the "what", “why”, and "how" behind AI outcomes.
Our Founders
Fiddler AI is founded by Krishna Gade (engineering leader at Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Microsoft) and Amit Paka (product leader at Microsoft, Samsung, Paypal and two-time founder). We are backed by Insight Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Lux Capital.
Why Join Us
Our team is motivated to help build trust into AI to enable society harness the power of AI. Joining us means you get to make an impact by ensuring that AI applications at production scale across industries have operational transparency and security. We are an early-stage startup and have a rapidly growing team of intelligent and empathetic doers, thinkers, creators, builders, and everyone in between. The AI and ML industry has a rapid pace of innovation and the learning opportunities here are monumental. This is your chance to be a trailblazer.
Fiddler is recognized as a pioneer in the field of AI Observability and has received numerous accolades, including: 2022 a16z Data50 list, 2021 CB Insights AI 100 most promising startups, 2020 WEF Technology Pioneer, 2020 Forbes AI 50 most promising startups of 2020, and a 2019 Gartner Cool Vendor in Enterprise AI Governance and Ethical Response. By joining our brilliant (at least we think so) team, you will help pave the way in the AI Observability space.
👩🏽🚀 The Mission:
We are looking for a Developer Advocate to help shape how technical audiences understand, evaluate, and adopt Fiddler’s platform for the AI Control Plane. This role sits at the intersection of technical storytelling, community building, and market education. You will create high-quality technical content, build trusted relationships with developers and AI practitioners, and represent the voice of the community. The ideal candidate is a strong technical communicator who can make complex AI infrastructure topics accessible, credible, and useful.
🪐 About The Team:
We’re a small but mighty marketing team that punches well above our weight. Half of us are based in the Bay Area, with a few teammates joining remotely from across the U.S. We move fast, roll up our sleeves, and believe no job is too big or too small when it comes to getting great work out the door. Open, honest feedback is our superpower; it's what keeps us connected, creative, and constantly improving.
Together, we pull off standout campaigns, memorable conferences, and some of the sharpest decks you’ll ever see. Smart, scrappy, and tight-knit, we take pride in making a big impact with everything we do.

Relevancy & Taste. You want to build content that makes someone try a product. You understand what makes developers click, star, follow, and share. You're opinionated about craft, clarity, and structure
An existing public body of work. Articles, videos, repos, social posts, and talks that demonstrate your ability to reach and engage a technical audience
