About the role
- Our job is to make that decision easy: in the frameworks they're using, in the communities where they're engaging, and in the talks or demos that showed them what perfect search can do.

Requirements
- 6+ years across developer relations, developer marketing, or engineering with a substantial public presence, including time at a company selling an API or developer platform.

- Experience hiring or mentoring DevRel talent, and a point of view on what separates good from great.
Nice to have

- Experience at a company that grew primarily through developer adoption.
