About the job

As a Cloud Developer Programs Engineer (DPE), you stand at the intersection of a technology movement shaping our world - between the people who build it and the customers who use it. Developer Programs Engineers (DPEs) are the engineering wing of Developer Relations. We ensure that Google Cloud and related open source projects like Kubernetes, Beam and TensorFlow are amazing for developers. As "customer zero" we're the first developers to use upcoming services and ensure they meet customer's needs. We provide feedback on API design, platform consistency and functionality. We write sample code and work with our technical writing teams to produce developer documentation, quickstarts and tutorials. We release open source code, participate in developer forums and help troubleshoot developer problems.

As a Cloud Developer Relations Engineer, you’ll join a team of Practitioners that empathize deeply with external technical communities, and advocate on their behalf to the Google Cloud Product and Engineering teams, ensuring that our products are built to meet the community's needs and that they provide the best possible user and developer experiences. You’ll work to raise awareness of Cloud technologies and methodologies within our technical communities through enablement and inspiration, and you’ll drive strategy around Google Developer Relations efforts for specific communities and products. You’ll define product strategies and craft narratives around new products and technologies, both meeting technical practitioners where they are going and get to where they need to be.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage product engagement and identify user needs.
Attend or facilitate conferences and events to gain and share insights on user experience and technologies.
Lead strategic developer programs and act as an authority in the domain.
