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...
