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

To thrive as a Remote Developer Advocate, you need a strong background in software development, technical writing, and public speaking, often supported by a degree in computer science or related field. Familiarity with developer tools, cloud platforms, APIs, and content management systems—as well as experience using platforms like GitHub and documentation tools—is typical. Excellent communication, community engagement, and collaboration skills are crucial for building trust and fostering relationships with developer communities. These abilities ensure you can effectively bridge the gap between engineering teams and external developers, driving product adoption and user satisfaction.

How does a remote Developer Advocate typically collaborate with engineering and product teams?

As a remote Developer Advocate, you will frequently collaborate with engineering and product teams through virtual meetings, asynchronous communication (like Slack or email), and shared documentation platforms. Your role involves acting as a bridge between external developers and internal teams, so you’ll often gather feedback from the developer community and relay it to shape product features or identify pain points. Building strong relationships across departments and proactively communicating insights are key to ensuring that developer needs are understood and prioritized, even when working remotely.

What is a Remote Developer Advocate?

A Remote Developer Advocate is a professional who works primarily from a remote location to bridge the gap between software developers and a company’s products or services. They engage with developer communities, create technical content, and provide feedback to internal teams to improve products. Their main goal is to support and empower developers by offering guidance, resources, and advocacy, all while working outside of a traditional office environment. This role often involves public speaking, writing tutorials, and building community relationships online.

Job description

Percona believes enterprise-class database software should be accessible to everyone. Powerful software is rarely simple, though, and that gap is where developers get stuck.
We're hiring a Developer Advocate to close that gap. Your job is to make Percona's solutions easier to learn, easier to use, and easier to talk about - through content, code, conversation, and showing up where developers and DBAs already are.
You might already be a Developer Advocate, or you might be coming into advocacy from a senior engineering, DBA, consulting, or other customer-facing technical role. Either works. What matters is that you can write, speak, and engage with technical people as a peer - and that you've got the production experience behind you to do it credibly.
What You Will Do
  • Create technical content:Tutorials, deep-dive blog posts, reference guides, video walkthroughs, and demos. Content that actually solves a named problem, not surface-level "getting started" filler.
  • Speak in public: Conference talks, webinars, meetups, podcasts, livestreams. Audiences from ten people in a room to several hundred online. We'll back you to build a speaking presence if you don't already have one.
  • Engage upstream: Show up in the communities behind the open source projects Percona builds on - MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Valkey, Kubernetes, and others. Contribute, answer questions, file good bug reports, and represent Percona as a credible technical voice.
  • Engage with the Percona community: Be active on the Percona Forum, Discord, GitHub, social platforms, and at Percona events. Welcome new contributors. Recognize active ones. Help people find the next rung on the ladder.
  • Cover Percona's open source portfolio: Percona Server for MySQL, Percona Server for MongoDB (PSMDB), Percona Server for PostgreSQL, Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC), Percona XtraBackup, Percona Backup for MongoDB (PBM), Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), and Percona Operators. You don't need to be an expert in all of these on day one. You do need to be willing to become one.
  • Close the feedback loop: What you hear in the field - pain points, missing docs, confusing UX, feature requests - gets back to Product and Engineering in a form they can act on.
  • Partner across teams: Work with Marketing, Product, Engineering, and Support so the technical story stays accurate and useful.

What You Have Done
  • Real technical depth: Several years in a hands-on technical role - engineering, DBA, SRE, solutions architecture, developer advocacy, or similar. You've worked with databases in production, or you've worked with the developers who do.
  • Strong writing: You can take a messy technical topic and turn it into something a tired engineer can actually follow at 11pm on a Tuesday.
  • Public speaking - or the appetite to grow into it: A track record of talks, workshops, or a strong technical blog or YouTube channel is great. If you're earlier in that journey, show us you want to build it.
  • Coding chops: Comfortable in at least one of Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or Rust. Enough to write demos, build sample apps, and read source code when you need to.
  • Open source instincts: You understand how open source communities work. You know the difference between participating in a community and marketing at one.
  • Willingness to travel: Roughly 10-50%, depending on the event calendar and what you're working on.

What Will Make You Stand Out
  • Existing contributions to open source projects, especially in the database, observability, or Kubernetes ecosystems.
  • Experience with AI/ML workloads on databases - vector search, RAG, embeddings at scale.
  • A presence in developer communities people already recognize - a blog with regular readers, a YouTube channel, conference talks, an active GitHub.
  • Experience building or running developer programs, community events, or contributor onboarding.

Percona builds some of the best database software in the world and keeps it freely available, so teams can run serious workloads without paying the "enterprise" tax. We're an open source company in the real sense - code in the open, conversations in the open, problems debugged in public.
If you want to spend your time helping developers and DBAs actually use this stuff well, you'll have room to do that here!
Why Percona?
At Percona, we believe an open world is a better world. Our mission is to enable everyone to innovate freely, by providing the best open source database software, support, and services. We make databases and applications run better through a unique combination of expertise and open source software built with the community for you. Our technical teams are experts in MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB.
Percona is proud to be a remote-only and globally dispersed workforce - we have colleagues in more than 50 countries! We offer a collaborative, highly-engaged culture where your ideas are welcome and your voice is heard.
Our staff receives generous benefits including flexible work hours and various paid time off programs, all your equipment for your remote office, funds for career development (external training, certifications, conferences), ongoing connectivity allowances, and the opportunity to participate in our equity incentive plan. We also have benefits that support a healthy work/life balance such as The Percona Adventure Team, Work-from-Anywhere, FlowDays, FryDays, and overall flexibility. We also support being socially responsible through our PAVE volunteering program and Women Transforming Technology.
If you love the idea of working with a high-growth tech company that is one of the best in the business and known globally as a leader in the open-source database space, let's talk!
