About Tigris

Tigris is reshaping the future of object storage beyond $BigCloud. With no egress fees and globally consistent low-latency access, our service helps developers move fast and scale easily, especially in AI/ML, data infra, and multicloud environments.

This role

We're hiring a Developer Relations Engineer to help developers understand and succeed with Tigris. This is a content-heavy role focused on technical writing, code samples, documentation, and talks—always with the goal of helping developers understand and use Tigris to solve real storage and architecture challenges.

This is a hands-on, creative role that requires:

• Strong writing skills and empathy for developers
• A knack for storytelling to make deeply technical concepts engaging
• Solid experience in AI/ML (critical to the use cases we support)

What we're doing now

We love blogging. We write deeply technical content for developers that shows off what you can build when you're multicloud native. The blog is doing pretty well, and we want to double down on it. We write detailed guides to help folks build actual production systems, not just print hello world.

What you'll do

• Write blog posts and technical guides showcasing compelling use cases
• Maintain and improve developer documentation, onboarding workflows, and quickstarts
• Build and maintain open-source examples, sample applications, and integrations
• Represent Tigris at conferences, meetups, podcasts, and online communities
• Engage directly with developers on Discord, GitHub, Reddit, and other forums
• Work closely with engineering and product to surface pain points and prioritize fixes
• Help shape and grow the overall developer experience strategy for Tigris

You'll know you're succeeding if

• Developers regularly cite your blog posts or examples as their reason for trying Tigris
• Documentation and onboarding metrics improve under your watch
• You've delivered talks and written content that earn enthusiastic community responses
• You've become a trusted voice in external technical communities where our users gather
• Internal teams rely on your feedback and community insights to improve the product

This job might be for you if

• You're a developer who enjoys teaching, writing, and helping others build
• You've written technical content or documentation that developers reference often
• You're comfortable giving talks or recording video content to explain technical topics
• You've contributed to open source or enjoy working in the open
• You know your way around cloud infrastructure, storage systems, or distributed applications
• You're based in the Bay Area—or remote but travel-ready for events and conferences
• 2–4 ideas for what you would build to show off Tigris to ML/AI and data focused companies
• A subject line that includes “Developer Relations Engineer”
• A link to a work sample, usually a technical blog post you've written

From there, it's chatting with the team and seeing if it's a mutual fit.

Salary Range: $140,000–$210,000 USD (dependent on experience)
