About the role

The best communities are useful before they're promotional. People come for answers, stay for the people, and over time some of them become advocates for the product.

You'll build that community from an early stage. You'll write and record technical content, run online and in-person events, look after our community spaces, and make sure what you hear from practitioners reaches the product team. You'll have a lot of freedom in how you do it, and we'll measure success by engagement and trust, not just follower counts.

What you'll do

Run our community spaces, such as Discord, GitHub Discussions and our forum, and make them places where questions get answered
Create practical technical content including tutorials, demos, short videos and talks
Organise and attend meetups, workshops and conferences in the cloud-native ecosystem
Recognise and support the people who help others, and grow a group of community champions
Bring recurring themes and feature requests back to product and engineering
Track community health and share what's working, and what isn't, with the wider team

What you'll bring

Experience in developer relations, developer advocacy, community management or a technical role with a strong public side
A solid technical grounding in Kubernetes, containers or DevOps practices, enough to write a tutorial and answer follow-up questions
Clear, friendly writing, and confidence speaking to an audience, whether that's a meetup room or a livestream
Experience organising events, online or in person
Good judgement about tone. You can be helpful and honest even when someone's frustrated
Willingness to travel now and then for conferences and events

Nice to have

Contributions to open-source projects, especially in the CNCF ecosystem
An existing presence in cloud-native communities
Experience producing video or running a podcast

Don't meet every point on the list? Apply anyway. Job descriptions are a best guess at what the role needs, and we'd rather hear from you than miss out.

What success looks like

Within your first two months, our community spaces have clear guidelines and questions get answered quickly
You've published a regular rhythm of technical content that people share without being asked
You've run at least one event, and attendees would come to the next one
Product has made a decision based on feedback you gathered from the community

You'll sit in marketing and work closely with engineering and product, who'll join you for talks, content and community sessions.
