This role sits at the intersection of community engagement, developer marketing, and technical content creation. You'll help developers discover Orkes and aid them in successfully adopting the platform through high-quality technical education, community interaction, and advocacy. You'll serve as a catalyst for increasing community engagement, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating programs that encourage participation, contribution, and long-term adoption.

This is the perfect role for someone with a background in working with developer communities, a passion for technology, and excitement about helping create agentic transformation for developers and organizations.

  • Build real relationships to empower our contributors, advocates, and power users
  • Create educational content such as blogs, tutorials, videos, walkthroughs, and learning materials
  • End-to-end ownership of webinars, workshops, AMAs, demos, and community events
  • Represent Orkes at conferences, meetups, podcasts, and online events
  • Bring developer feedback back to Product and Engineering to help improve Orkes
What We're Looking For

Must-Haves
  • 2+ years of impactful experience in engagement with developers for deeply technical products in a community context
  • A proactive, self-directed person who thrives in any situation and enjoys working alongside developer communities
  • 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
  • Open source community experience
  • 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
Location
