- No salary bar for this route
- H-1B has no fixed salary bar: the employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role and area. Cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level.

US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).
A verdict summarises public evidence. It is not legal advice and never a guarantee: the employer and the immigration authority decide. Sign in to factor in where you can already work.

Headquarters: Remote US
About the role
More and more PlanetScale databases are created, connected and queried by AI agents. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and a growing list of other tools now sit between developers and their infrastructure.
You will own that experience end to end. You'll make sure PlanetScale shows up everywhere developers build with AI, that our MCP server and CLI work flawlessly in every agent, and that we can measure how well it all works. Then you'll show the world how to do it well through demos, docs, blog posts, videos, and conferences.
This is a hands-on role combining engineering, content creation, and a strong public voice. You'll work closely with the teams that build our MCP server, CLI, API and docs.
The landscape of how developers work with AI changes fast. You'll have the opportunity to move quickly, experiment, and take the lead on the future of AI use with databases and infrastructure.
Make PlanetScale great with AI tools
• Build and maintain the plugins for PlanetScale in every AI marketplace and directory: agent plugins, skill registries, MCP directories, IDE extension stores and AI app builders
• Own our integrations with AI coding tools, agent frameworks and platforms
• Stay current with AI tools as they launch and ensure our customers have a great experience from day one
• Test the PlanetScale MCP server and CLI across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code and other clients, and catch regressions before users do
• Find friction in creating a database, connecting, running migrations and debugging queries from inside an agent, then fix it or drive the fix with the owning team
• Improve the context agents rely on: tool descriptions, skills, llms.txt, docs written for agents, and error messages agents can act on
• Attention to AEO (answer engine optimization): make sure agents find and recommend PlanetScale
• Build and maintain skills for working with Postgres, MySQL, Vitess, Neki, and PlanetScale
Measure how well we're doing
• Build evals that run real agent tasks against PlanetScale databases
• Benchmark how agents perform with PlanetScale and work towards continuous improvement
• Track how often AI assistants and agents recommend PlanetScale for database questions, and whether what they say about us is accurate
• Instrument and report on agent usage: databases created by agents, time to first connection, MCP versus CLI usage, and where sessions fail
Show people how to do it well
• Build demos and sample apps that show PlanetScale and AI tooling at their best
• Write docs, guides and blog posts on using databases effectively with AI, including safe access, branching and performance assessment
• Make videos and attend conferences to communicate with our audience how to build effectively with AI
These attributes best describe you
• Daily use of AI coding agents, with strong opinions about what makes a tool work well with them
• Experience building an MCP server, plugin, CLI or SDK that real developers use
• Software engineering background in languages like TypeScript and Go, and comfort with APIs, OAuth and the command line
• Experience with writing docs, blogs, and / or video content creation
• Good at communicating with a broad audience and customers alike on socials
• Experience working with relational databases (Postgres, MySQL, SQLite), schema design, migrations, connection handling, and Postgres or MySQL in production
• Data fluency: designing evals, writing the queries behind a dashboard, and telling a real trend from noise
• Clear communication of technical ideas in writing, on video and on stage
• Independence and speed: spotting a gap, shipping a fix, and telling people about it
• Genuine curiosity about the AI tooling landscape and a habit of keeping up wit
