About the role

Airbyte is the open-source standard for EL(T). We enable data teams to replicate data from applications, APIs, and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and other destinations. We believe only an open-source approach can solve the problem of data integration, as it enables us to cover the long tail of integrations while enabling teams to adapt pre-built connectors to their needs.

 

Within just 18 months, we've built 150+ connectors and we've had 9,000+ companies syncing data with us. We've raised $181M from some of the world's top investors (Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, Y Combinator, etc.) and believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome and let our product bring the users, rather than an outbound sales engine with cold calls.

 

Airbyte is remote friendly, with most of the team still based in Silicon Valley. We’re fully transparent as a company. Our company handbookculture & valuesstrategy and roadmap are open to all.

 

The Opportunity

As our head of developer relations, you will work closely with both founders, the product and engineering leaders with the goal to make Airbyte's content hub the go-to place for data engineering, improve the developer experience and grow the open-source community to new heights. You will lead and grow the overall community team, comprising the developer advocacy, experience, community and content teams. Airbyte’s community already includes 5k+ Slack members, 12k+ companies having synced data and 10k+ Twitter followers. This is a unique opportunity to build out a world-class community organization and grow it.

 

What You'll Do

  • Lead and grow the developer advocacy and experience teams in all their initiatives - videos, conferences, tutorials, meetups, etc.
  • Lead and grow the developer community team - ambassador program, meetup network, etc.
  • Help the developer content team in their strategy.
  • Build systems to understand the impact of all initiatives - metrics, NPS, etc. - in order to better prioritize future initiatives
  • Coach, mentor and grow the overall community team
  • Collaborate with content strategist, product, marketing and engineering teams to produce high impact content for the community

 

What You'll Need

  • In-depth industry experience building software and contributing to open source, if possible in the data ecosystem.
  • 5+ years of experience giving talks and developing demos, webinars, videos, and other technical content.
  • Great communication skills: you’ll be the face of Airbyte in the world, and make everyone in the company proud of the Community team.
  • Experience participating to both virtual and physical developer conferences.
  • Great cross-functional communication skills
  • A demonstrated ability to get stuff done. In an ideal world, you’ve worked in a fast-growing company, and know what we should be doing today, and in a year and two.
  • Self-directed and work with minimal supervision.
  • Experience building and growing dev advocacy teams. You have a great network, and creative ways to find and recognize potential dev advocates. You know how to keep the team focused and add value to the business in a measurable way.
  • You share our values.
  • Bonus: Meaningful social presence with engaged followers.
