Developer Advocate (Remote)

Percona believes enterprise-class database software should be accessible to everyone. Powerful software is rarely simple, though, and that gap is where developers get stuck.

We're hiring a Developer Advocate to close that gap. Your job is to make Percona's solutions easier to learn, easier to use, and easier to talk about — through content, code, conversation, and showing up where developers and DBAs already are.

You might already be a Developer Advocate, or you might be coming into advocacy from a senior engineering, DBA, consulting, or other customer-facing technical role. Either works. What matters is that you can write, speak, and engage with technical people as a peer — and that you've got the production experience behind you to do it credibly.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Create technical content:Tutorials, deep-dive blog posts, reference guides, video walkthroughs, and demos. Content that actually solves a named problem, not surface-level "getting started" filler.

- Speak in public: Conference talks, webinars, meetups, podcasts, livestreams. Audiences from ten people in a room to several hundred online. We'll back you to build a speaking presence if you don't already have one.

- Engage upstream: Show up in the communities behind the open source projects Percona builds on — MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Valkey, Kubernetes, and others. Contribute, answer questions, file good bug reports, and represent Percona as a credible technical voice.

- Engage with the Percona community: Be active on the Percona Forum, Discord, GitHub, social platforms, and at Percona events. Welcome new contributors. Recognize active ones. Help people find the next rung on the ladder.

- Cover Percona's open source portfolio: Percona Server for MySQL, Percona Server for MongoDB (PSMDB), Percona Server for PostgreSQL, Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC), Percona XtraBackup, Percona Backup for MongoDB (PBM), Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), and Percona Operators.
