• Be a technical pair of eyes on marketing copy, landing pages, and announcements
• Build landing pages and handle minor design work for campaigns and launches
• Contribute to Launch Week setup, execution, and content creation
• Engage with the developer community—GitHub issues, Discord, Twitter, wherever they are
• Build in public and share what you're working on

Who You Are

• 3+ years as a software engineer, devrel, or similar technical role
• You ship side projects and genuinely enjoy building things
• You can write—technical content that's clear, concise, and helpful
