Senior Developer Experience Engineer

In this role you will

• Manage the docs platform, with freedom to shape it how you see fit, to answer the age old question of “what does great developer documentation look like”
• Attend and even host events and meetups in the developer community
• Have a point of view and aren’t shy about expressing it. You get your energy from both knowing the latest trends and having a POV on which ones to ignore. Who’s working on something interesting, who influences the conversation, and who’s going to help drive the conversation forward - while linking all this back to the core problems that Sentry is solving
• Build content that gets people excited to build their software alongside Sentry
• Have an ear to the street. You get excited about gathering insights from users, the developer tool world, and what's currently happening in software development.
• Ride side by side with Engineering, Product, Design, Sales engineering, Business Ops, and nearly every function in Marketing from Comms to Product Marketing to develop the best content and great product narratives.

You’ll love this job if you

• Are someone who loves taking new features for a spin, learning how they tick, and testing them against your own projects
• Are an educator, a builder, and a human router. And you know that the best way to get people excited about your product is to show, not sell, through cool concepts, useful technical tutorials, and by bringing brilliant people together
• Are “meh… not bad” writer who understands how to tell a useful and relevant story in 30 words as well as weave together questions to panelists for 30 minutes
• Get excited when you hear that your job is to do ⅓ of each: Educating through useful and timely content + building community through live and virtual gatherings + Being customer-to-product influence
• Listen as much as you talk. And you know how to build a community organically by lifting up and promoting others.

Qualifications

• 5+ years as a developer and 3+ years in an advocacy or educational role such as developer relations/evangelism, creating technical content, leading a community of developers via forums or events
• You have 3+ examples of technical educational content aimed for professional developers (e.g. tutorial, video series, blog series, course)
• At least one example of your own dedicated blogs, forum or sites with a developer-focused audience and can speak to how you measured success and what promotional mechanisms you used to drive top of funnel visibility
• At least one project using a common modern development language or framework
• You have been an active member and contributor of technical communities, on any platform (e.g. Discord, Stack Overflow, Reddit, Twitter, TikTok)
• Ability to prioritize competing opportunities and balance customer needs versus business priorities
• Stellar written and verbal communication skills
• A down-to-earth attitude, a good amount of humility, and dry sense of humor are a huge plus
