Drawing on your experience in the cloud native space you will engage and build relationships with developers to deeply understand and improve their journey of adoption by helping them to navigate and reduce friction points along the way. You’ll do this by building tools and content for developers while seeding developer communities and programs around Upbound’s core products.

  • Author compositions, configurations, and reference platforms to reduce adoption friction and accelerates the developer’s journey from open source to professional, enterprise and business critical product tiers. See https://github.com/upbound/platform-ref-aws as an example.
  • Create content such as videos, blogs, tech talks, live streams, tutorials, document best practices, and author white papers to enable operators and developers to quickly and successfully leverage Upbound.
  • Collaborate with internal product engineering and marketing teams to help shape the product roadmap, market positioning, and developer program initiatives.
  • Attend webinars, industry events as well as company conferences such as Kubecon (35+% travel… eventually).

You are a good fit if you...

  • Have 5+ years combined experience as a Developer Advocate within open source communities combined with other technical roles (e.g. SWE, Developer, Engineering Ops, Technical Support etc)
  • Clear communication skills to different internal and external audiences in both written and verbal mediums.
  • Enjoy giving technical presentations to audiences that span the technical to semi-technical spectrum.
  • Are well versed in the enterprise software and cloud native landscapes.
  • Quickly pick up and navigate highly technical cloud infrastructure architectures, challenges, and concepts.
  • Previously helped launch a developer product and have grown a thriving community around it.
  • Regularly create technical documentation, blogs, and other forms of media that clearly articulate solutions and drive adoption.
  • Maintain an active and credible presence in developer communities and social media channels.
  • Programmed in a modern coding language such as Go
  • Enjoy being an educator and thought partner to developers and open source community members.
  • Love solving problems.
