Percona
Developer Advocate (Remote)
North America
Role brief
What this role is asking for.
Percona believes enterprise-class database software should be accessible to everyone. Powerful software is rarely simple, though, and that gap is where developers get stuck. We're hiring a Developer Advocate to close that gap. Your job is to make Percona's solutions easier to learn, easier to use, and easier to talk about — through content, code, conversation, and showing up where developers and DBAs already are. You might already be a Developer Advocate, or you might be coming into advocacy from a senior engineering, DBA, consulting, or other customer-facing technical role. Either works. What matters is that you can write, speak, and engage with technical people as a peer — and that you've got the production experience behind you to do it credibly. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Create technical content:Tutorials, deep-dive blog posts, reference guides, video walkthroughs, and demos. Content that actually solves a named problem, not surface-level "getting started" filler. - Speak in public: Conference talks, webinars, meetups, podcasts, livestreams. Audiences from ten people in a room to several hundred online. We'll back you to build a speaking presence if you don't already have one. - Engage upstream: Show up in the communities behind the open source projects Percona builds on — MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Valkey, Kubernetes, and others.
