EU remote
Developer Relations Engineer
About this role
We’re Fly .io, and we’re building a new public cloud. We transmogrify containers into lightweight VMs and run them on our hardware around the world – hundreds of thousands of applications rely on us, running on every continent except Antarctica. If you haven’t already,take us for spin. Your app will be up and running in just minutes. Unlike all the rest of our roles, these roles are geographically specific; devrel here is in large part about engaging local communities.
We’re currently hiring devrel people who can deliver work full time in North America and Europe. Of course, our whole thing is that we deploy everywhere else in the world, too, so we’ll be expanding from there soon. There are a lot DevRel jobs where you have to make your own fun, because the product is about eliminating some gnarly business slog like inventory management or expense tracking or underwriting. We’re not knocking those jobs! There’s nobility in eliminating slogs! But this isn’t one of those jobs.
We’re doing something big, something that’s about software development itself. We’re one of a number of upstart companies rethinking the public cloud, breaking down infrastructure problems that used to take months of work and dedicated headcount into a platform that our users can gain fluency with in a matter of minutes. If you’re our kind of developer, the fun in this job is built-in. Folks working in DevRel at Fly .io interact with three different groups of people: Group A: our product teams, like in every other devrel job: the people building the platform and its features.
Group B: our “framework” teams, which are a fun quirk of Fly .io: these are small teams of people organized around individual application frameworks like Rails, Django, Phoenix, and whatever people are doing in Javascript these days. Group H: the “developer community”, a term the industry uses because it is apparently squicked out by the word “customer”. You’ll accomplish this by deploying all of your “skills of an artist”, hopefully including things like: Quickly building proof-of-concept applications that show off cool things about Fly .io, like how quickly you can start up a new VM, or the timeless elegance of our IPv6 addressing.
