We are looking for a Senior Developer Advocate II to serve developers by inspiring and equipping them to build with DigitalOcean. 

As a Senior Developer Advocate II at DigitalOcean, you will join a dynamic team dedicated to revolutionizing cloud computing and AI. You will inspire and equip developers to create, deploy and operate software with DigitalOcean. This role is part of the Developer Advocacy team within the broader Developer Relations organization and will work closely with our Growth, Product and Engineering organizations.

What You’ll Do:
  • Inspire and equip developers at developer events in your city. A major part of this role is about authentic, meaningful engagement with fellow software developers at in-person events, such as meetups, conferences, hackathons and workshops.
  • Create code and content that educates developers so they can be successful with DigitalOcean. The code and content will drive our business through authentic engagement with developers. It will also serve as a key input into constantly improving our developer experience. The content can be in the form of written tutorials, videos, workshops, social media posts and any other mediums that developers care about.
  • Provide insightful and meaningful feedback to Product teams based on your usage of the products. The best way to improve developer experience is to show rather than tell, so a significant portion of this work will involve building with our platform to identify rough edges and weaknesses that need to be improved.
  • Guide and mentor the Developer Relations individuals and teams based on your experience for how to best serve developers.
  • Decide how to scale our developer relations efforts. As we see success with our execution in videos, events, workshops, and other tactics, we’ll need to figure out the best way to invest in efficiently and effectively scaling up those executions to authentically serve even more developers.
What You’ll Add to DigitalOcean:
  • Significant experience in at least one major programming language such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, Ruby, Java, or C#, along with a breadth of experience with several other programming ecosystems.
  • Demonstrated previous experience in creating publicly-available high quality, customer-facing technical content such as videos, written content, research publications, and running teams that create that content.
  • Self-starter attitude, empathetic, and motivated to serve developers and make the colleagues around you better.
Compensation Range: 
  • $91,360 - $137,040
