Description
At Trunk, our mission is to help teams create high-quality software quickly. We've helped engineerings teams at Google X, Zillow, and Brex to understand why their builds fail, which tests are flaky, and how to ship code faster without sacrificing reliability. We're building a CI Reliability Platform that empowers teams to land code faster and develop happier.
We're looking for a Senior Developer Advocate to own developer awareness and engagement,driving top-of-funnel metrics that convert to pipeline. You'll be the face of Trunk in developer communities, on conference stages, and across content channels. You won't just create content; you'll measure what drives demos and optimize relentlessly. CI reliability is an emerging category without an established playbook,you'll help define how developers discover and talk about it.
You have one strategic objective: drive developer awareness. The responsibilities below reflect our current thinking - but we expect you to challenge, refine, and evolve these tactics as you learn what resonates. What matters is developer reach and interest; how you get there is yours to shape.
Responsibilities
- Own events and speaking: Attend and deliver talks at developer and platform engineering conferences. Own the event strategy, build relationships with organizers, and partner with Sales on lead capture and follow-up. Expect ~30% travel.
- Drive content production: Own the pipeline from ideation to publication,technical blog posts, webinars, demo videos, case studies. Work with engineering for technical depth; you own the output.
- Embed in developer communities: Show up where platform engineers talk shop. Surface insights to Product and GTM weekly; turn community presence into inbound interest.
- Own docs and onboarding content: Ship improvements based on friction you discover. Docs are a conversion lever - you're accountable for their quality.
Requirements
- 3-5+ years in developer advocacy/relations with hands-on engineering background
- Proven conference speaker (share links to recorded talks)
- Strong technical writer with published work that developers read & share (share samples)
- Community native with measurable reach (tell us where and how many)
