Contribute to the Community & DevRel Motion Working Group: Collaborate as a contributor alongside the Regional Head of Community & DevRel in EMEA to shape and support content for programs such as Northstar, BUILD, and User Groups.

Align Content Creation and Developer Advocacy strategy with the Regional Plan: Ensure all advocacy activities, content creation, events, and engagements are aligned with Snowflake’s regional developer goals and reinforce existing programs as we grow.

Support DevRel-Related Programs

Developer Feedback Loop

What You’ll Bring

• 7+ years of experience in developer advocacy, technical evangelism, or related IC roles

• Proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience using tools like dbt and Notebooks

• Strong portfolio of developer content across at least two programming languages

• Demonstrated engagement in developer communities (GitHub, forums, social platforms)
