Developer Relations Engineer

Job description

Accountabilities: Build and maintain production-quality reference implementations, including MCP servers, authenticated configurations, agentic workflows, and other examples that developers can confidently adapt for real-world use. Create clear, technically rigorous educational content through blog posts, documentation, demonstrations, conference talks, livestreams, podcasts, and video. Own the technical side of video content, determining what to build and demonstrating complex workflows in an engaging and accessible format. Serve as a practitioner-facing representative at conferences, community events, livestreams, and within Python, AI, MCP, and developer communities. Work directly with product and engineering teams to explain evolving products and capabilities while they are still being developed. Act as an early and demanding user of the platform by identifying usability issues, documentation gaps, bugs, and developer experience opportunities, then contributing fixes and improvements where appropriate. Translate community feedback, developer challenges, emerging trends, and product friction into actionable recommendations for engineering and product teams. Operate with significant autonomy, determining what technical projects and content will create the greatest value without relying on a predefined content calendar. Continue writing and reviewing code regularly while balancing technical execution with public-facing Developer Relations responsibilities. Requirements 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong Python skills preferred, and a willingness to remain deeply hands-on with code. A public portfolio of high-quality technical work, such as open-source repositories, technical articles, documentation, conference presentations, or developer-focused videos. Demonstrated experience building with LLMs and agentic technologies, including MCP servers, tool calling, agent frameworks, retrieval, or related systems. Ability to explain sophisticated technical concepts clearly to experienced developers through written, spoken, and visual formats. Strong on-camera and public-speaking skills, or clear evidence of the ability and willingness to develop these skills. Ability to work independently, identify high-value opportunities, build solutions, ship them, and evaluate their impact without close oversight. Strong product and developer empathy, with the ability to identify where technical tools or workflows create friction for users. Experience contributing to or maintaining a popular open-source project is a plus. An established developer audience through platforms such as YouTube, X, Twitch, newsletters, or other technical communities is a plus. Experience with data engineering or orchestration technologies such as Prefect, Dagster, Airflow, or dbt is advantageous. Familiarity with enterprise platform and security concepts such as SSO, RBAC, audit logs, and PII is beneficial. Comfortable working in an environment where product direction can evolve quickly and where ambiguity is part of the role. Strong communication, collaboration, ownership, and adaptability skills, with a genuine interest in building and supporting developer communities.
