To succeed in this role, you must be able to build and teach with Pinecone’s AI products—showing developers how to create reliable, scalable AI applications where knowledge and retrieval are central. You’ll translate best practices into practical learning experiences through tutorials, short-form videos, docs contributions, hackathon mentorship, and social posts. Because the team and customer base are scaling quickly, you should be comfortable operating with high autonomy and strong judgment in a fast-paced environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
