Work EnvironmentTechnical support, community events, and outreach activitiesContent creation, public speaking, and online engagement

What is a Developer Relations Engineer?

A Developer Relations Engineer, often called a DevRel Engineer, is a professional who acts as a bridge between a company’s technical teams and the broader developer community. Their role involves advocating for developers’ needs, creating technical content, providing feedback to product teams, and supporting developers in using the company’s tools or platforms. They may also speak at conferences, organize events, and help build a strong, engaged community around a product or technology. Ultimately, Developer Relations Engineers help ensure that developers have a positive experience and can successfully use and contribute to the company’s offerings.

How does a Developer Relations Engineer typically collaborate with product and engineering teams?

Developer Relations Engineers act as a bridge between external developer communities and internal teams. They regularly gather feedback from developers using the product and communicate this input to product managers and engineers to help guide feature development and bug fixes. Collaboration often includes attending product meetings, writing technical documentation, and sometimes contributing code or prototypes. This close interaction ensures that the product remains developer-friendly and that the concerns of the community are addressed promptly.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Developer Relations Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Developer Relations Engineer, you need a solid background in software development, technical writing, and public speaking, often supported by a degree in computer science or related field. Familiarity with APIs, SDKs, documentation platforms, and community engagement tools is typically required. Outstanding communication, empathy, and collaboration skills help you effectively engage and support developer communities. These competencies are crucial for building trust, fostering adoption, and ensuring a positive experience with your company's products.

Developer Relations (DevRel)

Aikido Security

San Francisco, CA • On-site

Full-time

Posted 19 days ago


Job description

Location: San Francisco
We're making security suck less for developers.
Security tools haven't kept up with how software is built today. They interrupt teams, slow releases, and turn security into a bottleneck instead of a capability. We built Aikido to change that. Aikido builds developer-first security products that reduce real risk without getting in the way of shipping software. We focus on what actually matters and automate the rest.
We're taking on legacy security tools teams have been stuck with, and we're winning. If you want to help us take market share and build products developers actually enjoy using, you're in the right place.
Founded in 2022 by third-time founders, Aikido has $85M in the bank, a long runway ahead, and unicorn status. We're building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.
We're looking for someone in Developer Relations (DevRel) who is actively engaged in the developer community and well-connected across the developer ecosystem.
This is a hands-on, community-first role, not a content-only or purely strategic position. You'll be actively engaging with developers in the real world: showing up at meetups, hackathons, demo days, and industry events, building genuine relationships, and helping shape how the developer community experiences and talks about Aikido.
Responsibilities
  • Be highly visible in the SF developer community (meetups, hackathons, demo days, conferences, informal events)
  • Build and maintain relationships with developers, founders, platform engineers, DevOps engineers, and security-minded builders
  • Represent Aikido at developer meetups, conferences, and community events
  • Help organize and host Aikido meetups, happy hours, workshops, and developer events
  • Actively engage with the developer community online (X, Slack, Discord, developer forums)
  • Collaborate with marketing and product to: Support launches, Amplify events, and turn community insights into better messaging.
  • Help grow Aikido's reputation as a developer-first security company

  • Experience in Developer Relations, Developer Advocacy (DevRel), community leadership, or developer marketing
  • Background working with developer tools, DevOps platforms, or security products is a strong plus
  • Already active in the developer ecosystem, regularly attends meetups, events, or community gatherings
  • Has an existing developer network or is a recognizable face within parts of the developer community
  • Bonus: runs or contributes to personal content channels (blog, newsletter, YouTube, podcast, social presence)
  • Comfortable talking with developers and engineers, technical curiosity matters more than being an expert
  • Social, approachable, and genuinely enjoys meeting people
  • Proactive, self-directed, and comfortable operating with a high level of autonomy
  • Based in San Francisco and excited to be in-person and out in the developer community

What you can expect
  • High-impact position in a fast-growing company
  • Competitive salary package
  • A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere (see our culture page on the website for more details)
  • A diverse and inclusive organization that is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer
  • Flexibility in working hours
  • You will be recruited based on competencies. Qualities of people are decisive, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
