Timescale is looking for a Developer Advocate to represent our products in technical communities around the world. A Developer Advocate is a developer’s best friend. We are engineers with experience building the kinds of systems we advocate for. We are leaders and earnest participants in the developer community. We care deeply about inclusion and providing a positive experience for all developers everywhere we go.
This role will focus on Timescale pgvector, a powerful extension for PostgreSQL that allows for efficient similarity search using vector data. In this role, you’ll build amazing online content (articles, videos, blog posts) for Timescale and third-party developer sites and publications. You will create content and provide guidance on how to leverage pgvector for advanced data processing and analysis.
Oh, and Timescale is a developer-first company. There will never be confusion in this role about whether or not we’re a developer company. We are, and we embrace it. You’ll also work in an organization where even the marketing people write code. We love developers, and you’ll fit right in if you love developers, too.
Responsibilities
- Create content, videos, and samples from beginner to best practices demonstrating how to develop and work with Timescale, Postgres, and time-series data.
- Create benchmarking content that zooms out to focus on the big picture, comparing more than just raw performance.
- Identify external advocates and community leaders and support them as they discuss Timescale and time-series data independently of us.
- Collect and summarize customer feedback and relay it effectively to the product team.
- Use data, experiments, and customer feedback to drive Timescale adoption.
Requirements
- Experience with AI and machine learning technologies, ideally in the context of PostgreSQL and time-series data.
- Demonstrated ability to create and present content related to AI and its applications in data management and analysis.
- Understanding of AI and machine learning trends and the ability to translate them into valuable content and advocacy efforts.
- A self-starter who can manage and prioritize initiatives that will make developers successful.
- Experience with PostgreSQL is strongly preferred; it’s the backbone of our product, and we need you to be able to dive deep.
- Industry experience with the type of data you’d use Timescale with. This could be anything but be prepared to cover it in your interview.
- Previous experience working with developers is highly desirable, but that could be as an advocate, an evangelist, a developer, or a solutions architect.
- Proven experience working with 3rd party communities, social media, and blogging is a plus.
- A deep understanding and appreciation for the constant and rapid shift in how and where people consume content and share their experiences.
- A belief that organizations and industries are best when they are diverse and inclusive, and a commitment to ensuring that everything we do reflects that belief.
- Works well independently and remotely.
Preference for US-based candidates. European candidates will also be considered.
