THE ROLE & WHY IT EXISTS

Are you a recovering developer who loves APIs, community engagement, and telling stories that actually make sense to other engineers? Do you get a weird thrill from showing off working code in a demo? Are you the kind of person who can break down event-driven architecture over a beer or coffee without putting someone to sleep? If so, we should talk. We’re seeking a Developer Advocate to join and help us evangelize our solution to our audience.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Evangelize like a developer, not a sales rep. You’ll be the technical voice of Gravitee—writing blogs, building demos, speaking at events, and hanging out with the developer community (virtually or IRL).
• Show, don’t tell. You’ll create code samples, tutorials, and GitHub repos that help devs actually understand our platform (because a marketing PDF isn’t gonna cut it).
• Translate geek to business-speak. You’ll work with sales and marketing to make sure they don’t butcher technical messaging and can actually explain what Gravitee does.
• Own product positioning & GTM for dev-heavy solutions. You'll shape how we talk about our API Gateway, Event-Native API Management, and Security offerings to technical audiences.
• Work closely with engineering & product. Help define new features, gather developer feedback, and ensure we’re building things devs actually want.
• Hack things together. Whether it’s a PoC, a workshop, or a hands-on demo, you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and write some code.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS - Additionally, these skills are not required, but preferable:

• You were (or still are) a developer or at least have a highly technical background. Maybe you wrote production code, maybe you were a software engineer who realized you liked explaining tech more than shipping Jira tickets.
• Solid understanding of APIs—RESTful, GraphQL, WebSockets, Kafka, MQTT—or enough curiosity to fake it till you make it.
• You can write. Blogs, scripts, documentation, TikTok videos if you want to, you name it. If you have samples, show us!
• Experience working with developer communities—whether through DevRel, content, meetups, or Discord chaos.
• Technical chops in at least one of these: Java, JavaScript/Node.js, Python, or Go. Bonus points for any AI + API knowledge.
• You should expect to travel about 10% of your time including international travel
• A strong sense of humor. Life’s too short for boring tech marketing.

DESIRED SKILLS - Additionally, these skills are not required, but preferable:

• Experience in API Management, API Security, or Open Source.
• Familiarity with tools like Postman, Swagger/OpenAPI, or Gravitee/Kong/Tyk/Apigee.
• You’ve spoken at conferences or led technical workshops.

Send us something cool you’ve written (blog, GitHub repo, video, etc.) along with your resume. Bonus points if you include a technical rant about APIs, Kafka, or AI.
