• Community native: proven credibility in developer communities.
• Platform fluency: knowledge of how Hacker News, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and Discord function, with the ability to adapt strategies for each.
• Strong written English: precise, technical, and readable communication.
• Creator mindset: ability to identify opportunities, write useful content, and ship it quickly.
• Ability to represent Kestra with technical authority and genuine enthusiasm.

Responsibilities

• Answer questions, share knowledge, and contribute to conversations as a primary function of the job.
• Identify communities and topics where Kestra can contribute the most and build a genuine presence over time.
• Partner with Product Marketing, DevRel, and Product teams to surface and highlight use cases, comparisons, and explainers in the right communities.
• Contribute to subreddits, HN threads, LinkedIn posts, and Medium publications as an expert, not a promoter.
• Use AI tools to increase speed without sacrificing technical accuracy or depth.
• Surface community feedback, recurring questions, and pain points to the product and engineering teams.
• Help internal engineers and developer advocates find relevant venues to share their work.
• Build relationships with technical content creators (YouTubers, bloggers, newsletter writers) in the orchestration and data space.

Benefits

• Competitive salary (full-time) or freelance day rate
• Fully remote, async-first culture
• Real ownership: opportunity to define and build this function from scratch
• Direct collaboration with engineering, product, and marketing teams
• The tools and autonomy to experiment and iterate fast
• An in-house real-time monitoring tool that surfaces relevant mentions and conversations across all platforms.
