About the Opportunity

Our client is a high-growth, VC-backed startup redefining how developers build and integrate distributed systems. Their platform eliminates traditional API and integration complexity, enabling strongly typed, compile-time safe connections between services written in any language - dramatically reducing boilerplate and accelerating modern architectures.

As the company moves deeper into its go-to-market phase, they are hiring a Developer Advocate to become the bridge between the product and the global developer community.

This role combines hands-on technical depth, community leadership, and public-facing influence.

The Mission

You will shape how developers discover, understand, and adopt a new paradigm in software integration. Acting as the external voice of the platform, you will educate, inspire, and grow a global developer ecosystem through content, events, and community engagement.

What You'll Do
  • Represent the technology at global meetups, conferences, hackathons, and workshops
  • Build strong relationships with developer communities, influencers, and OSS contributors
  • Create high-impact technical content (videos, demos, tutorials, live coding, talks, podcasts)
  • Collaborate closely with Engineering, CTO, and DevEx teams on product messaging
  • Partner with the internal content team to design educational campaigns
  • Gather community feedback and influence product roadmap decisions
  • Advocate for simpler, more productive modern software architectures
What We're Looking For
  • Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
  • 3+ years in Developer Advocacy, DevRel, or public-facing technical roles
  • Strong programming background in C#, Java, or Python
  • Solid understanding of microservices and mobile/web-to-cloud integration
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Proven passion for developer communities and storytelling
  • Willingness to travel monthly to global tech hubs
Strong Plus
  • Experience at developer tools or high-growth startups
  • Track record of scaling developer communities
  • Public technical presence (talks, blogs, podcasts, OSS)
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development or cloud-native systems
  • Experience with API or platform product launches
Work Authorization & Location
  • Candidates must be eligible to work in Germany or the UK and be based in Berlin or London (or open to relocation).
  • This is a remote-first role with frequent global travel (Berlin, Dubai, San Francisco, and other tech hubs).
Why This Role
  • Fully covered global tech conference travel
  • Work on cutting-edge developer infrastructure
  • High-growth startup environment with unicorn ambition
  • Remote-first flexibility
  • Stock options tied to community impact
  • Highly technical, fast-moving team

If you are deeply technical, community-driven, and excited about shaping how the next generation of developers build distributed systems, this role will strongly align with your trajectory
