Senior Developer Advocate

**Senior Developer Advocate** ============================= Vast.ai · Los Angeles or San Francisco Bay Area Vast.ai is a GPU marketplace. Developers rent compute from us to train and serve their models, usually for far less than the big clouds charge. Tens of thousands of developers use us. We're about 50 people, profitable, venture\-backed, and growing fast.

Work with developer\-focused YouTubers and other creators, the ones with real audiences rather than bought ones. **What you won't own** To be straight about scope: this role doesn't cover paid ads, brand and po
