Your focus will be on cultivating, empowering, and elevating the many diverse voices that makeup not only the Hygraph community - but also the wider developer community.

Conferences and Events: You will represent Hygraph at certain conferences and events that align with our growth plans and business objectives. Depending on the conference, you may be required to speak and/or support at conferences around APIs, Microservices, Enterprise Architectures, and GraphQL that are more mature/enterprise in nature such as API Days, API World, Microservices World, etc. Furthermore, you will help define the events planning roadmap for the rest of the developer relations team to maximize visibility in other ecosystems like Jamstack Conf. Gatsby Conf., Next.js Conf., etc.


Technical Content and Open Source Work: A large portion of your responsibilities will include creating and managing the technical content output from the Marketing team alongside SEO, Product Marketing, and Developer Relations. You will work around technical concepts like Content Federation, GraphQL Tooling, Microservices, and JavaScript frameworks. Depending on the priorities, planning, use-cases, and resources, your content can be in a variety of formats (blog, guide, tutorial, podcast, video, stream, code examples, UI Extensions, and docs, to name a few).


Architecture Design and Commercial Support: From time to time you may be required to support the wider commercial organization (Direct Sales, Partner Sales, and Customer Success) in complex architecture decisions and recommendations with our Enterprise prospects and customers.

What we expect from you

• You have extensive experience in creating technical content focused on helping developers succeed with a variety of tools and frameworks.
