If you have a growth mindset, naturally like to think big and bold, and are energized by the fast-paced environment of a true industry disruptor, you’ll find your place here.  We value winning together—while learning, having fun, and making a profound difference for the dreamers and builders in the world. 

We are looking for a Senior Developer Advocate II to serve developers by inspiring and equipping them to build with DigitalOcean. 

As a Senior Developer Advocate II at DigitalOcean, you will join a dynamic team dedicated to revolutionizing cloud computing and AI. You will inspire and equip developers to create, deploy and operate software with DigitalOcean. This role is part of the Developer Advocacy team within the broader Developer Relations organization and will work closely with our Growth, Product and Engineering organizations.

What You’ll Do:
  • Inspire and equip developers at developer events in your city. A major part of this role is about authentic, meaningful engagement with fellow software developers at in-person events, such as meetups, conferences, hackathons and workshops.
  • Create code and content that educates developers so they can be successful with DigitalOcean. The code and content will drive our business through authentic engagement with developers. It will also serve as a key input into constantly improving our developer experience. The content can be in the form of written tutorials, videos, workshops, social media posts and any other mediums that developers care about.
  • Provide insightful and meaningful feedback to Product teams based on your usage of the products. The best way to improve developer experience is to show rather than tell, so a significant portion of this work will involve building with our platform to identify rough edges and weaknesses that need to be improved.
  • Guide and mentor the Developer Relations individuals and teams based on your experience for how to best serve developers.
  • Decide how to scale our developer relations efforts. As we see success with our execution in videos, events, workshops, and other tactics, we’ll need to figure out the best way to invest in efficiently and effectively scaling up those executions to authentically serve even more developers.
What You’ll Add to DigitalOcean:
  • Significant experience in at least one major programming language such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, Ruby, Java, or C#, along with a breadth of experience with several other programming ecosystems.
  • Demonstrated previous experience in creating publicly-available high quality, customer-facing technical content such as videos, written content, research publications, and running teams that create that content.
  • Self-starter attitude, empathetic, and motivated to serve developers and make the colleagues around you better.
Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean
  • We innovate with purpose. You’ll be a part of a cutting-edge technology company with an upward trajectory, who are proud to simplify cloud and AI so builders can spend more time creating software that changes the world. As a member of the team, you will be a Shark who thinks big, bold, and scrappy, like an owner with a bias for action and a powerful sense of responsibility for customers, products, employees, and decisions. 
  • We prioritize career development. At DO, you’ll do the best work of your career. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that will always challenge you to think big. Our organizational development team will provide you with resources to ensure you keep growing. We provide employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education. All employees have access to LinkedIn Learning's 10,000+ courses to support their continued growth and development.
  • We care about your well-being. Regardless of your location, we will provide you with a competitive array of benefits to support you from our Employee Assistance Program to Local Employee Meetups to flexible time off policy, to name a few. While the philosophy around our benefits is the same worldwide, specific benefits may vary based on local regulations and preferences.
  • We reward our employees. The salary range for this position is $91,360 - $137,040 based on market data, relevant years of experience, and skills. You may qualify for a bonus in addition to base salary; bonus amounts are determined based on company and individual performance. We also provide equity compensation to eligible employees, including equity grants upon hire and the option to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
  • We value diversity and inclusion. We are an equal-opportunity employer, and recognize that diversity of thought and background builds stronger teams and products to serve our customers. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.
