TigerData • San Francisco, CA

94d

About The Position

At TigerData, formerly Timescale, we empower developers and businesses with the fastest PostgreSQL platform designed for transactional, analytical, and agentic workloads. Trusted globally by thousands of organizations, TigerData accelerates real-time insights, drives intelligent applications, and powers critical infrastructure at scale. As a globally distributed, remote-first team committed to direct communication, accountability, and collaborative excellence, we're shaping the future of data infrastructure, built for speed, flexibility, and simplicity. We’re looking for someone hungry to grow their impact — a hands-on advocate who wants to make TigerData the database developers think of when they think of AI. Reporting to the Head of Developer Advocacy & Docs, you’ll be out in the community building trust, sparking momentum, and inspiring developers in the Bay Area and beyond.

Requirements

• Have 5+ years of experience in developer advocacy, developer relations, or engineering roles with strong community exposure.
• Have built with AI/LLMs — RAG frameworks, vector databases, or AI-powered apps — and love teaching others how.
• Thrive in community spaces: you light up when you’re teaching, coding live, or helping someone debug at a hackathon.
• Are comfortable coding and teaching in Python, Go, or JavaScript (and ideally SQL/Postgres).
• Are a self-starter who hustles — measuring impact in developer adoption and engagement, not just vanity metrics.
• Have started to build your own voice in the developer ecosystem (talks, blogs, OSS, or meetups) and want to grow it further.
• Must be able to attend local events with occasional travel.

Responsibilities

• Represent TigerData at Bay Area and global events, meetups, hackathons, and conferences.
• Build and share demos, tutorials, and code samples showcasing TigerData’s AI features (vector search, RAG, real-time analytics).
• Publish developer content — blogs, talks, videos, workshops — that inspire builders and grow adoption.
• Partner with product and engineering to shape the developer experience for AI workloads.
• Act as a bridge between the developer community and our internal teams, surfacing insights and influencing roadmap.
• Experiment with new ideas and formats to reach and excite developers — from streams to hackathons to collabs.

Benefits

• Flexible PTO and comprehensive family leave
• Fridays off in August
• Fully remote opportunities globally
• Stock options for long-term growth
• Monthly WiFi stipend
• Professional development and educational resources
• Premium insurance options for you and your family (US-based employees)
