What you will do
As a Lead Developer Advocate at Timescale , you will build, grow, and lead a diverse and technical team of Developer Advocates who represent our products and time-series data in technical communities around the world. A Developer Advocate is a developer’s best friend. We are engineers with experience building the kinds of systems we advocate for. We are leaders and earnest participants in the developer community who care deeply about inclusion and providing a positive experience for all developers. At Timescale, Developer Advocates are passionate stewards not only for Timescale’s products and services, but also for related communities such as Postgres and Prometheus.

In this role, you will lead a team of Developer Advocates focused on showcasing the value of using TimescaleDB for relational and time-series data applications. TimescaleDB is a relational database for time-series built on top of PostgreSQL, and as such, is applicable to a wide array of problem domains. As a Lead Developer Advocate, you will work closely with our Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams to identify the most important use-cases to highlight and coach your team of Developer Advocates on building blog posts, videos, samples, and tutorials that explain how TimescaleDB can be used within those problem domains. You will build long-lasting relationships with community leaders around the world. You will speak at conferences around the world and your creativity and enthusiasm will shine through in everything you do!

Oh, and Timescale is a developer-first company . There will never be confusion in this role about whether or not we’re a developer company. We are, and we embrace it. You’ll also work in an organization where even the marketing people write code. We love developers and you’ll fit right in if you love developers, too!

This role is remote, and English language fluency is a requirement.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Creating content, videos, and samples from beginner to best practices that demonstrate how to develop and work with Timescale, Postgres, and time-series data.
• Engaging with the community to show how TimescaleDB and time-series data work.
• Securing high-impact speaking opportunities at conferences around the world.
• Securing content placement opportunities on popular developer blogs, sites, and other channels.
• Identifying external advocates and community leaders, and supporting them as they talk about Timescale and time-series data independent of us.
• Synthesizing and summarizing customer feedback, and relaying it effectively to the product team.
• Working closely with our teams and Timescale leadership to quickly refine community efforts.
• Contributing to key OSS projects and building cool, useful libraries and tools for using Timescale and time-series data.
• Using data, experiments, and customer feedback to drive Timescale adoption in the community.
