Gray's first audience is operators — terminal and SSH power users who can smell marketing from a hostname. Reaching them takes someone who is genuinely one of them. You will be Gray's voice in public, in their language.
What you will own
Write and demo for operators: setup guides, real workflows, honest limitations
Own Gray's presence where operators live — HN, GitHub, the self-hosting forums
Run the early-access community and turn feedback into filed, prioritized issues
Build example automations and crew recipes people actually copy
Tell us when something ships rough — you are the user's advocate inside
What you bring
You are a daily terminal user with infrastructure to prove it
Strong technical writing — short sentences, working commands
Comfort demoing live, on camera, when the demo might fail
Engineering background or equivalent fluency
Nice to have
An audience you've earned: blog, channel, open source
Experience with developer tools go-to-market
What we offer
Meaningful equity. Every role carries a real stake in Layer Gray, with a 10-year exercise window.
Remote, worldwide. Work from anywhere. We hire for the role, not the time zone.
Hardware budget. $4,000 for your machines, plus a home server allowance — you should run Gray on your own box.
Flexible time off. 25 days minimum, and we mean minimum. We track outcomes, not hours.
Health covered. Full medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents, wherever you are.
Two offsites a year. The whole crew, one room, twice a year. The rest of the time, async.
Model subscriptions. Claude, GPT, and friends — every frontier model subscription, paid.
Learning budget. $2,000 a year for books, courses, and conferences. No approval theatre.
About Gray
Gray is voice-first AI you operate like a terminal. You speak; it runs real work across your machines — SSH sessions, multi-agent jobs, files, scheduled tasks — then speaks back. It is self-hosted, private by architecture, and built for the people who run the internet’s plumbing. Gray is made by Layer Gray, Inc.
