• Report insights to leadership and advocate for strategies that resonate with devs.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Collaborate closely with Developer Relations, Product Marketing, and Brand Design.
• Ensure consistent voice and tone across blog posts, events, and social.

• Strong copywriting and creative concepting skills with the ability to adapt tone between playful, professional, and technical.
• Comfort working with engineers, product managers, and advocates to translate technical concepts into approachable content.
• Data-driven mindset—experience with analytics tools and A/B testing.

What You'll Bring

• Experience with video editing or live streaming.
• Active presence in developer spaces (your own Twitter/X, GitHub contributions, blog, or newsletter).
• Familiarity with open-source culture and community dynamics.
