## About the Role

* A builder with approximately 10+ years of software engineering experience, ideally having shipped applications from scratch or worked within an early-stage startup environment where you've worn multiple hats.
 * An AI-fluent developer who natively leverages AI coding assistants and rapid-prototyping tools as a core part of your regular, day-to-day development workflow.
 * Multi-stack familiar, comfortable writing and debugging code across multiple programming languages (such as JavaScript/TypeScript or Python) and experienced with deployment paradigms spanning next-gen platforms and traditional cloud ecosystems.
 * An authentic communicator with approximately 3+ years of experience in technical storytelling and community engagement, backed by a publicly available portfolio of peer-to-peer artifacts like GitHub repositories, technical blogs, video walkthroughs, or public speaking presentations.
 * A forward thinker who loves self-driven exploration of emerging technologies, and is deeply passionate about developer education, mentorship, and helping other engineers hone their craft.

## Description

We are a team of engineers that translate our real-world experience to help our user communities solve problems. With a focus on AI-accelerated workflows and next-generation developer ecosystems, you will have the opportunity to meet fast-moving teams where they are, helping them lay strong engineering foundations and broadening your impact to the developer community at large. This is a unique opportunity to use both your engineering depth and authentic storytelling skills to shape how the next wave of builders approach software health, scalability, and observability.
What You'll Do:

 * Help developers hone their craft in an AI-accelerated world by exploring how AI coding assistants and rapid-prototyping tools change software workflows, and guiding teams on how to balance rapid prototyping with established engineering practices around performance, code health, and system reliability.
 * Build in public by creating authentic, peer-to-peer technical content, sharing your engineering insights directly where modern developers collaborate in person and online.
 * Drive a constructive, bidirectional feedback loop between fast-moving developer communities and our internal teams, translating real-world developer experiences into actionable product insights to shape our roadmap while advocating for user needs from the inside.
 * Design and ship high-quality open-source boilerplate templates, quickstarts, and tools that make integrating observability seamless across AI native workflows, next-gen platforms (Vercel, Supabase, etc.), and cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure).
