Job Summary
Developer Relations Engineer (Contract) focused on building and nurturing the Coder developer community and ecosystem. You’ll act as a technical presence in Discord/GitHub, curate and improve the template registry, and contribute to docs and guides. Responsibilities include answering questions and unblocking users, moving fixes and ideas into the registry/docs/product backlog, collecting actionable feedback from community signals, building templates for key stacks (Python, Node, Go, Rust, Java), and creating demos and hardware demos. You’ll run talks/workshops at technical events, produce recorded demos, collaborate with marketing on content, and own community programs such as education partnerships and open-source initiatives. Requirements include a software/platform engineering background, strong empathy for developers, ability to travel up to 20%, strong technical writing, and prior experience in developer communities.
