Developer Advocate (Remote – U.S. Based)

Location: Remote (United States only)
Compensation: $160,000 – $180,000 base salary + equity
Employment Type: Full-Time

HireNow Staffing is partnering with a growing software development company to recruit a seasoned and skilled Developer Advocate to deepen engagement with one of its most important audiences: developers.

This role is ideal for someone who blends a strong software engineering foundation with a genuine passion for developer education, community building, and content that developers actually trust and enjoy. This is not a brand-polishing role—you will be a visible, credible, and technical voice in the places developers already spend time.

Candidates must meet the core experience requirements below to be considered for interview.

The Opportunity

As a Developer Advocate, you will act as a bridge between the product and the developer community. Your work will focus on building awareness, trust, and long-term engagement through authentic participation, technical education, and hands-on content creation—especially on Reddit and YouTube.

Youl'l collaborate closely with marketing and internal product teams while maintaining a developer-first perspective that prioritizes usefulness over promotion.

What You'll Do

Candidates must demonstrate the ability to perform the following responsibilities to be considered:

• Build and maintain an active, authentic presence on Reddit, participating in discussions and responding to threads with a developer-first voice

• Grow and shape the company's YouTube channel into a trusted destination for technical education and product awareness

• Create high-quality technical content, including:

  • Sample projects

  • Hands-on demos

  • Tutorials and walkthroughs

  • Technical explainers

• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, engaging, developer-friendly content

• Partner closely with marketing to distribute content while preserving technical credibility

• Provide feedback to internal teams based on real developer conversations and community signals

• Potentially lead and grow a customer developer community, helping guide initiatives and amplify community-driven contributions

Required Qualifications (Must-Haves)

Candidates must meet all of the following to be considered:

• Previous experience as a Developer Advocate, Technical Evangelist, or similar role

• Background as a software developer, with a strong technical foundation and hands-on coding experience

• Proven track record building engagement on Reddit and YouTube

• Ability to create technical content developers genuinely want to consume

• Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills

• Comfort being a public-facing representative of a technical platform

Preferred Qualifications (Strongly Emphasized)

Candidates meeting these criteria will receive priority consideration.

• 3+ years of combined experience across software development and developer advocacy

• Experience building or supporting customer-facing SaaS integrations

• Familiarity with integration platforms or API-driven products

• Demonstrated ability to grow and sustain developer communities over time

• Experience producing multiple content formats, including:

  • Video tutorials

  • Blog posts

  • Code samples

  • Live or recorded demos

• Strong instincts for where developers spend time and how they prefer to learn

Benefits & Perks

• Unlimited & flexible PTO, encouraging rest and recharge

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage (Cigna Medical, Guardian Dental, VSP)

• Company-paid life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability

• 401(k) through Guideline with 4% company match

  • 100% of the first 3%

  • 50% of the next 2%

• Company-provided computer and technology equipment

• $1,000 new hire setup stipend

• Travel twice per year for company kick-offs and mid-year team meetings

Why This Role Stands Out

• Real ownership of developer-facing voice and strategy

• Freedom to create content that developers actually value

• Remote-first environment with strong benefits and equity

• Opportunity to shape community trust and long-term platform adoption

• Role designed for credibility, not hype
