Job description

At Timescale, we empower businesses with real-time insights from their data, allowing them to make faster decisions and optimize operations. We are creating a movement to unblock developers who are building the future. Timescale is a product-led growth organization driven by transparent leaders and a globally diverse, remote-first team that is proudly building a modern PostgreSQL cloud platform.

As a Developer Advocate at Timescale, you will play a critical role in connecting with the developer community, amplifying our core product, and driving awareness of TimescaleDB. By creating and sharing engaging technical content and building authentic relationships within the database and tech communities, you will have a direct impact on shaping how developers use and experience our platform.

This role is remote, and English language fluency is a requirement. Preference for candidates in the US or Europe, with pacific-time overlap.

What you will be responsible for in this role:

• Creating high-quality content, including blog posts, videos, tutorials, and technical guides to demonstrate how to develop and work with Timescale, Postgres, and time-series data.

• Create benchmarking content that zooms out to focus on the big picture, comparing more than just raw performance.

• Building relationships within the database and developer communities by participating in forums, social media, and online discussions on Reddit, Stackoverflow, Hacker News, etc.

• Staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends and sharing insights to establish Timescale as a thought leader in the database space.

• Collect and summarize customer feedback and relay it effectively to the product team.

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to align messaging, share developer insights, and shape product improvements.

You could be a great fit if:

• You have a background in databases, ideally SQL.

• You possess strong technical credibility and authenticity when interacting with developer audiences.

• You’re a self-starter with an innate curiosity for exploring the latest in tech and developer tools.

• You have demonstrated experience in creating compelling technical content across various formats.

• You are enthusiastic about amplifying the Timescale brand, building relationships, and engaging with technical communities.

• You thrive in a remote-first, fast-paced, and dynamic environment.

• You believe that organizations are best when they’re diverse and inclusive, and you’re committed to ensuring that everything we at Timescale do reflects this belief.

You might not be a great fit if:

• You’re uncomfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly.

• You do not have a technical background and passion for developer tools.

• You are not passionate about developer-focused content creation or community building.

Join us at Timescale to build the future of databases and help developers unlock the potential of their data!

Our Commitment:

• We will respond to all applicants.

• We strive to review all applications fairly, without bias, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.

• All active candidates will be informed of what is happening next in the process.
