About the role
- You'll work directly with our Director of Startup & Developer Relations and alongside the Flamethrower Startup Program - Backblaze's initiative to become the storage layer of choice for early-stage companies.
- Your job is to be technically credible, well-connected, and visible.
- Or they've been doing it formally at the mid-level and want to step up on impact without stepping into program leadership yet.
Responsibilities
- Create technical content that teaches developers how to build with Backblaze B2: tutorials, sample applications, reference architectures, blog posts, and short-form video
- Build and publish working code examples and demos - especially for AI/ML workflows (training data pipelines, model artifact storage, inference infrastructure), media workflows, and application storage
- Build relationships in the AI/ML, media, and cloud infrastructure developer communities that generate inbound awareness for Backblaze
- Support Flamethrower startup cohort members in getting to production faster - answer technical questions, sanity-check architectures, and document patterns worth sharing broadly
- Work closely with the Director of Startup & Developer Relations, as well as our product team, lifecycle marketing, and product marketing to identify common technical blockers and create content that removes them
- Partner with Marketing on ecosystem storytelling, technical blog strategy, and developer-facing content
- Maintain a consistent feedback loop from developers to Product - surface friction points, integration gaps, and unmet needs
- Fertility treatment and support
- Culture that supports a healthy work-life balance
- At Backblaze, we value being fair and good to our customers, partners, and employees.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with Backblaze B2 or direct experience with object storage in production environments
- Experience with media/video workflows, SaaS backend architecture, or data-intensive platform development
- Prior experience in a formal DevRel capacity - developer advocate, technical evangelist, developer educator - even if it wasn't your primary title
Skills
- About Backblaze
- But while there is a lot to celebrate in our past, there is almost as much opportunity ahead of us.
Compensation

Benefits
- Healthcare for family, including dental and vision
- RSU grants for full-time employees
- Flexible vacation policy
- Maternity & paternity leave
- MacBook Pro to use for work, plus a generous stipend to personalize your workstation
- Childcare bonus (human children only)
- Learning & development program
- Commuter benefits
- That's why diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of our values.
Company info
- This is a ground-floor developer relations role at a company that is serious about building a DevRel function - not just checking a box.
- We believe that our dedication to cultivating a diverse workspace not only allows us to better serve our customers in over 175 countries but further reinforces our commitment to doing the right thing.
