What you'll do
- Quickly building proof-of-concept applications that show off cool things about Fly.io, like how quickly you can start up a new VM, or the timeless elegance of our IPv6 addressing
- Building and delivering presentations for events, presentations that have the net effect of customers (err, the developer community) liking us more
- Talking to people working on all kinds of applications, from side projects to large teams building microservice ensembles, and talking them through making the best use of Fly.io, the Fly Machines API, our integrations with products like Supabase
- Maintaining a public presence in online communities where developers congregate
- 25% monthly travel (with seasonal variability) to meet with developer communities in person to engage in small and large settings to build authentic developer interest in various regions and communities
- Helping systematize content development past blog posts and documentation and into a library of different kinds of content
What we're looking for
- Enjoy building applications and are particularly psyched about the prototyping phase of building things
- The idea of a little bit of chaos appeals to you, because it's a sign to you that there's an opportunity to help define a new practice and make some big moves
- You're opinionated enough to be interesting, but exceptionally good at listening, empathizing, and rolling with the opinions of our users
- Your career goals involve increasing your public profile
- Going to a bunch of different developer events sounds like a good time to you
- Able to deliver work full time in North America and Europe
