Developer Advocate, Content & Community

yeet • Chicago, IL

About The Position

yeet is built by a tight-knit group of systems, observability, and kernel nerds who refuse to accept “mystery outages” as normal. We’re a small, high-impact team with domain expertise in Linux, eBPF, performance instrumentation, and developer tooling. We move fast, ship often, and take deep ownership. If you enjoy operating close to the metal, building tools that real engineers lean on during 3 AM incident sprints, and solving hard problems with minimal overhead, you’ll feel right at home here. We’re looking for a Developer Advocate to help build the bridge between yeet and the engineers who need it most. This role is all about showing, not telling: you’ll write technical content, build sample apps, record demos, and engage with developers where they already are from GitHub and Discord to X, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, and industry conferences. Your job is to make sure engineers don’t just hear about yeet, they see it in action and immediately understand how it helps them debug faster, find bottlenecks, and keep systems reliable without the overhead of traditional observability.

Requirements

• Love teaching through code
• Ability to make complex topics click through various formats (blog posts, TikToks, demo repos)
• Comfort spinning up a sample app
• Comfort writing about Linux internals
• Ability to help developers troubleshoot in community forums
• Understanding that developers hate fluff
• Knack for building community (running GitHub projects, moderating Discord, sparking conversations on Reddit)
• Thrive on experimenting with new formats and channels

Nice To Haves

• Contributions to open source projects or running your own dev tools
• Prior experience speaking at conferences, meetups, or livestreams
• A following on Twitter / X, TikTok, YouTube, or LinkedIn where you share technical content
• Familiarity with observability, infrastructure, or dev tools
• Experience experimenting with growth channels for developer products (memes, tutorials, challenges, etc.)
• Comfort working closely with product / engineering

Responsibilities

• Write technical content
• Build sample apps
• Record demos
• Engage with developers on platforms like GitHub, Discord, X, Reddit, YouTube, and TikTok
• Communicate with clarity, authenticity, and technical credibility
• Experiment with new formats and channels to meet developers where they are
• Feed insights from the community back into the roadmap
