Developer Relations Engineer

You will act as a technical voice and advocate for developer communities while also feeding real-world insights back into product and engineering teams. The position blends hands-on software work with communication, documentation, and public speaking across global audiences.

Produce high-quality technical content including documentation, blog posts, tutorials, reference architectures, and presentations. Deliver talks, workshops, and conference sessions to represent developer needs and promote best practices in open source software development. Identify gaps in developer tooling and workflows, proposing and validating improvements with engineering teams. Support cross-team initiatives to improve adoption and usability of Linux-based and cloud-native ecosystems. Act as a bridge between contributors and internal teams, ensuring feedback loops are structured, actionable, and continuous.

Proven experience as a software engineer or developer with strong exposure to open source ecosystems and community contributions. Solid understanding of Linux systems, software packaging, and modern deployment models such as containers and cloud-native workflows.
