Developer Advocate

Skills

About the Role

You will be a trusted presence in developer communities, showing up where developers already spend time, contributing real value, and building long-term trust. You'll create practical tutorials, videos, and demos, engage with communities across Slack, forums, Reddit, Discord, YouTube, Twitch and social platforms, and represent developer feedback internally to help shape the product.

Requirements

• Comfortable with SQL, databases, metrics, and analytics workflows
• Experience building community across some combination of Twitter/X, YouTube, Twitch, Discord, blogs, meetups, public speaking, and live events
• Clear, direct, and human communication style
• Ability to create content independently without needing a brief, brand guide, or editorial approval
• Bonus: contributed to or built on top of open source projects
• Bonus: experience with embedded analytics, BI tooling, or the modern data stack

Responsibilities

• Create content that developers and analysts actually want: practical tutorials, clear explanations, honest opinions, and demos grounded in real use cases as blog posts, videos, talks, and whatever formats fit the moment
• Act as an editor and curator for internal engineers, guest contributors, marketing colleagues and other advocates: validate technical claims, test code snippets, and edit drafts to ensure high editorial and technical standards
• Produce video content (screencasts, shorts, explainers) that expands Metabase's educational reach and complements written tutorials
• Build and maintain demo projects, sample workflows, and integrations that showcase Metabase's capabilities in practical, real-world scenarios
• Develop and execute plans to build, enable, and nurture Metabase's developer community through events, meetups, livestreams, courses, social media, partnerships, and whatever formats fit the moment
• Show up and be genuinely helpful in the places developers spend time: Slack communities, forums, Reddit, Discord, YouTube, Twitch, social platforms, and wherever the conversation is happening
• Build real relationships with developers, community leaders, contributors, and power users
• Represent Metabase at events, conferences, and meetups as a credible practitioner, not a booth rep
• Bring feedback from the community back to the people building the product: friction points, workarounds, complaints, praise, and feature requests
• Represent the community's needs internally, synthesizing feedback and sharing learnings with engineering, product, and marketing teams
• Track and monitor community health and content performance metrics, assess how well initiatives are achieving their goals, and adjust effort accordingly

Benefits

• Meaningful equity
• Fully employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance (with 75% coverage for dependents)
• 401(k) with employer match available after first 30 days
• Flexible and unlimited paid time off including sick time
• Asynchronous, remote-first environment
• Flexibility to define your own schedule and work from wherever you want
