Senior Developer Advocate

We seek a respected and influential voice within the JavaScript community to join our team. As an experienced developer, you write code and have produced a diverse range of technical content to educate developers, including videos, tutorials, workshops, and conference talks, sharing insights, fostering discussions, and inspiring others to adopt best practices. Your passion lies in sharing knowledge and equipping fellow developers with cutting-edge technology.

With at least five years of experience in a technical role, preferably as a developer within an enterprise environment, you bring extensive expertise in JavaScript and understand the challenges developers encounter at large organizations.

You might have some experience as a developer advocate, or you might have been educating developers on the side and are now looking to do it full-time. Although it is not mandatory, a general understanding of MongoDB would be a plus.

As an effective communicator and educator, you can simplify complex concepts and facilitate understanding. While developing expertise in our platform, you will appreciate its core capabilities and how it is used with enterprise languages.

Our team is built to work together, share knowledge, and help each other grow. You will work with others at all levels, supporting peer reviews, building demos, delivering sessions, and creating other content.

Above all, you should be genuinely passionate about equipping other developers to be more productive and successful in their day-to-day jobs.

This role will be based remotely in the United States.
