Principal PMM: Developer Advocacy and Technology Marketing

Fastly's edge cloud platform sits at the intersection of performance, security, and modern application development. We're building a team to tell that story better than anyone. This is a new lead role within Developer Marketing, and it's designed for someone who has spent a career at the crossroads of engineering and communication.

You'll spend your time doing three things: creating best-in-class technical content that helps developers understand what's possible on Fastly's platform, partnering across product, engineering, and customer teams to build reference architectures and working prototypes that demonstrate real-world value, and developing enablement resources that help practitioners go from zero to productive faster. This isn't a role where you hand off work to a writer or an engineer -- you do both.

What You'll Do:

• Technical Content and Thought Leadership: You'll produce authoritative public-facing content across formats: deep-dive technical tutorials, architecture guides, blog posts, demos, and video walkthroughs. Content should do more than explain features; it should advance how engineers think about edge computing, performance, and security infrastructure. You'll own the editorial bar for technical accuracy and practical relevance.

• Reference Architectures and Prototyping: Working closely with Fastly's product, solutions, and engineering teams, as well as select customer partners, you'll design and build reference architectures that demonstrate how Fastly's platform solves complex, real-world problems. These artifacts become proof points, go-to-market assets, and the foundation for new developer use cases.

• Enablement and Education: You'll partner with customer engineering and solutions teams to understand where practitioners get stuck and build content that closes those gaps.

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years working at the intersection of software engineering and technical communication, with meaningful time in developer relations, solutions engineering, or technical product marketing at a platform or infrastructure company.

• Hands-on experience with complex enterprise implementations. You know what "production-grade" means, and you can guide customers to that standard.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; you can write a compelling blog post and a working config in the same afternoon

• Demonstrated ability to work independently in ambiguous environments.

• Hands-on experience with technologies like CDN, networking, edge computing, security tooling (WAF, DDoS, bot mitigation), or API infrastructure

• Comfortable across common developer/devops ecosystems and able to meet engineers where they are.

• Experience with AI/ML integration patterns and modern application architectures is a plus

Work Hours:

• This position will require you to be available during core business hours.

Work Location(s) & Travel Requirements:

This position has one opening and is open to Hybrid And Remote Work Locations.

The preferred locations for this position are:

• San Francisco, CA

• Denver, CO

• New York, NY

• Remote within the US

Fastly currently embraces a largely hybrid model for most roles which allows employees flexibility to split their time between the office and home.

There is a strong preference for Hybrid near a local office. However, we may be willing to consider remote candidates within the US.

This position may require travel as required by your role or requested by your manager.
