What you'll do

 * Build OSS tools, libraries, and integrations that make Kernel's developer experience more powerful and easier to use
 * Create high-quality tutorials, guides, and demos showcasing Kernel's core and emerging capabilities
 * Own Kernel's developer documentation and iterate on it as a first-class product surface
 * Engage with our community on GitHub/Slack/Discord/Twitter and in-person events, answering questions and amplifying cool projects
 * Contribute to Kernel's technical blog, developing content that educates, inspires, and grows developer adoption
 * Influence Kernel's culture, product, and direction as a founding team member
