  • A strong technical foundation. You've written code and understand how developers think, build, troubleshoot, and evaluate new technologies
  • You've created technical educational content in the past such as presentations, written work, videos, demos, and workshops
  • You can take something complex and make it click for developers who are seeing it for the first time
  • You are a highly resilient person that's also execution-focused.

Nice-to-Haves

  • An existing audience or online presence in the developer space
  • Conference talks/webinars/event hosting under your belt
  • Familiarity with agentic workflow orchestration, in particular Conductor/Orkes
What Makes This Role Different

  • Opportunity to shape how developers discover and learn about Orkes
  • Close collaboration with Engineering, Product, and open-source community members
