- Hands-on experience writing code, building sample apps, or shipping technical projects that demonstrate your ability to teach by example.
- Strong technical foundation with experience in at least one mainstream programming language and technology stack.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You can explain complex technical problems and solutions in ways that empower developers to succeed.
- Genuine passion for developers, deep empathy for their workflows, and a commitment to helping them succeed without resorting to sales pressure.
Even better if you have
- Experience contributing to or building for developer ecosystems.
- Exposure to open-source communities and technical content development.
- Familiarity with AI-driven workflows for scaling product capabilities.
You will thrive in this role if
- You’re a builder at heart, excited to create scalable systems from the ground up.
