Sr. Developer Educator, Video

ngrok Inc.

11d • $147,200 - $200,000 • Remote

About The Position

ngrok is an all-in-one cloud networking platform that secures, transforms, and routes traffic to services running anywhere. Instead of cobbling together nginx, NLBs, VPNs, model routers, and oodles of other tools, developers solve every networking problem with one gateway. Doesn’t matter if they’re sharing localhost or running AI workloads in production.
We're trusted by more than 9 million developers at companies like GitHub, Okta, HashiCorp, and Twilio. What started as a way to put your local app on a public URL has grown into a universal gateway for API delivery, AI inference, device fleets, and site-to-site connectivity. It’s the same ngrok that millions of developers have loved and leaned on every day for years, now with the power to run production traffic at scale.
We want someone to take ownership of video content at ngrok. You will work with Joel and Sam on our DevRel team to bring the ngrok YouTube channel to life.
Making videos will be a big part of your job, but we appreciate that to make great videos you’ll need to spend time learning new things, building up novel ideas for video content, going down paths that don’t work out the way we hoped. We want to make truly top-tier content, and we know that cranking out videos as fast as possible isn’t how that works.
We’d love to see long-form, beautifully visualized technical deep dives. For example, a video version of our prompt caching post is high on our list.
You will also focus on:
Short-form platforms—YouTube Shorts, TikTok, LinkedIn, wherever developers are doomscrolling. You'll own and execute the strategy on this.
Partner with product to turn launches (especially around our AI gateway @ ngrok.ai) into content that gets people talking and trying.
Fun! We would love to make fun content. What’s the silliest thing you can think of doing with nrgok, what’s the most unlikely place you can get ngrok running. We love having fun and that is not represented well in our video content yet.
Whatever great ideas you bring along with you. We’ve struggled in video, we know we have a lot to learn, and we’re excited to learn it from and with you.
At ngrok, DevRel is our marketing. There’s no separate brand or product marketing team crafting messages for us to parrot. We guide the strategy, the messaging, and the tactics across every channel so that wherever ngrok shows up, it’s technically grounded and authentically useful.
You'll be our first dedicated video hire, working alongside a small DevRel team that's currently focused on written content and launches.
That means we optimize for quality over cadence. We’d rather you disappear for three weeks and come back with something genuinely great than ship rote work to an inflexible schedule. We always aim to produce work that gives our audience more value than we take from them.
We also believe in being known for the work you do—not as an ngrok spokesperson reciting talking points, but as a genuine expert with your own strong opinions and voice. If you want to become a recognized figure in AI infrastructure, developer tooling, or education-by-video, we’ll support that fully.
This philosophy isn’t new. ngrok has been sweatin’ the small stuff since before the term “developer experience” was cool. We just started thinking it should apply to the content we produce, too.

Requirements

• 5+ years experience scripting, recording, and being the face on camera for high-quality video content…especially for anything that goes beyond step-by-step “and then you click here, and there…”
• Previously developed high-quality shorts for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and can develop, pitch, and execute on a long term strategy.
• A portfolio of video work you’re proud of… send us links!
• Your own recording setup (or strong opinions about what you need).
• Written real code, professionally or as a hobbyist, so that you can communicate technical concepts with an authenticity that resonates with an audience of builders, software developers, and DevOps/platform engineers.
• Built something useful (or weird) using AI agents and LLMs, either as a professional or a hobbyist, and have a genuine curiosity about the future of developing with AI agents and creating features powered by AI.
• A love of storytelling and have a style (written/visual/beyond!) you confidently claim as your own.
• An active ngrok account!

Nice To Haves

• Bonus points if you've done live content—streams, webinars, live coding—but it's not the core of the role.

Responsibilities

• Making videos
• Bring the ngrok YouTube channel to life
• Own and execute the strategy on short-form platforms—YouTube Shorts, TikTok, LinkedIn
• Partner with product to turn launches (especially around our AI gateway @ ngrok.ai) into content
• Create fun content

Benefits

• Health stuff that actually matters. Full premiums covered on base healthcare, dental, and vision for you. Half covered for your dependents. Mental health and well-being support included, because taking care of your brain is as important as taking care of your teeth.
• Retirement matching that doesn't suck. 401(k) with 100% match up to 3% of your salary and 50% match up to another 2%. Future you will appreciate present you.
• Actually flexible time off. We say "open, flexible vacation policy" and actually mean it. Take the time you need. Your manager will bug you if you're not taking enough.
• Parental leave that's realistic. Up to 16 weeks if you give birth, up to 8 weeks for new parents (birth, adoption, fostering—however your family grows).
• Money to keep growing. Annual professional development budget for books, courses, conferences, or whatever helps you level up. Plus an annual home office/desk stipend to make your workspace not terrible.
• Work from wherever. Co-working space stipend if you want to get out of your house but aren't near our SF office.
• Lunch on us. 2x+ per week for employees onsite at our San Francisco office. Free food tastes better.
• Company offsites. Twice a year we get the whole team together. It's part strategy, part bonding, part excuse to hang out with Bufo (the toad).
• Regular feedback and fair compensation. Bi-annual reviews to make sure you're getting real feedback and staying competitively compensated. No surprises, no waiting around for performance conversations.
