• Work with the broader Sales, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, and Support teams to gather developer feedback and create resources, content, and campaigns to address gaps or pain points.
• Put yourself in the shoes of a new user to test and review new FusionAuth product features, SDKs, and other developer tools.
• Work with Documentation, Engineering, and Product to deliver product and developer experience feedback and act upon it accordingly.
• Propose and implement campaigns and strategies to increase developer engagement, build community, and improve the FusionAuth developer experience.
• Establish relationships with complementary companies and collaborate to mutually increase technical partnership, presence, reach, and trust.
• Be willing and able to travel to speak at conferences and live events, and converse with developers and customers at sponsorship exhibitions.

Qualifications

• Able to easily identify developer friction and pain points and know how to address them with empathy through content and DX.
• Experience in identity (authentication, authorization, access management).
• Experience using data to drive your decisions and priorities and ability to demonstrate progress and success through key metrics.
• 4+ years in a public-facing Developer Relations or adjacent role (advocacy, evangelism, community, SE, etc.).
• Web or software development expertise: able to build real world applications integrating auth, access control, and user management.
• Experience creating deeply technical content taking complex concepts and presenting them in an approachable way through a variety of content mediums (e.g., talks, videos, blogs, sample apps, workshops, etc.).
• Expertise presenting and public speaking to developer audiences.
• Experience working in a distributed team.
• Experience working at a scaling startup and comfortable with ambiguity.
• Strong internal collaboration and team-player Developer Advocacy skills (practice a “pack” mindset, not “lone wolf”).
• Able to travel domestically and internationally (~30-50%).

All About You

• Have an understanding of developer relations maturity stages through company growth, and know what approaches are appropriate as the DevRel motion matures.
• Well-organized, detail-oriented, and able to drive things to completion.
