JetBrains Web Developer Advocate (Developer Advocacy)

JetBrains makes industry-leading professional IDEs and team software. We are seeking a developer advocate with knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript.

At JetBrains, our advocacy team’s mission is to make developers better. Candidates need to be self-starters: take initiative, plan tasks, coordinate across teams, and finish projects by themselves with light supervision.

We need an advocate who can convincingly explain how our products can credibly enhance developer productivity in the web space and advise product teams based on industry trends and developer feedback. We are looking to hear from candidates who are experienced, passionate, empathetic, and ready to help with our roadmap.

In this role, you'll: 

• Attract attention to and explain various aspects of our product portfolio (through speaking, videos, blog posts, livestreams, sample code, etc.).
• Build and maintain relationships and a reputation in the industry with global and regional communities and on social networks.
• Provide feedback to the product teams.
• Meet with customers to listen to them and educate them about our offerings.
• Speak to the press on behalf of our products.
• Contribute as needed to other areas at JetBrains.

We’ll be happy to have you on our team if you have: 

• Applied experience with software engineering best practices: testing, refactoring, version control, etc.
• Practical experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, and related technologies.
• Fluency in both spoken and written English.
• Excellent communication skills, especially the ability to tell a compelling story about a technology.
• Self-organization, goal-setting, and time-management skills.
• Willingness to travel.

We’d be especially thrilled if you have: 

• Established reputation in a development community.
• Experience with JetBrains tools.
• Experience in developer advocacy.
• Proficiency in several programming languages (Python, Java, Kotlin, etc.).
• Background working in an environment with highly distributed, diverse teams.
• Portfolio of speaking engagements (conference recordings) and screencasts. Please submit it with your application.
