## About the role

This is a Staff DevRel role: you'll own the human interface between Buildkite's engineering reality and the developers evaluating, adopting, and championing it. You'll teach, demo, and debug in public, while running signal capture that feeds Product, Support, and Marketing the truth about what's confusing, what's missing, and what to ship next.

## What they're looking for

- Own campaign execution across priority pillars, from concept through launch and iteration
- Build programs that layer credibility, clarity, and conversion for both developers and buyers
- Teach CI concepts and Buildkite workflows in formats engineers respect, backed by real technical depth
- Design learning paths — onboarding guides, implementation walkthroughs — that cut time-to-first-value
- Partner with Product and Support to turn recurring confusion into better docs, defaults, and UX
- Co-create dev-grade technical assets with Content Engineering and Content Writing that survive scrutiny
