Senior Developer Advocate (Next.js & JavaScript)
About The Position
The Pantheon Developer Relations Department is offering a full-time position for a Senior Developer Advocate, focused on illustrating professional usage of Next.js on Pantheon. Developer Relations at Pantheon works to ensure that teams using the web frameworks we support can build the best possible sites on our platform. To support this mission this role will switch between two modes of working: Communicating outward to the web development community about best practices (and how they are supported by Pantheon). Communicating inward to Pantheon's staff about how we need to evolve to meet market expectations. While communication skill is the baseline requirement for both of those modes of work, we are looking for candidates who can also execute technical changes. Sometimes it is better for the Developer Advocate to make a sample repo or a pull request themselves. This role is a Senior Developer Advocate for Next.js specifically. The activities of your day-to-day responsibilities should largely be assumed to be performed through the lens of Next.js and/or Node.js implementations.
