Remote Developer Advocate Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

We are the company behind the popular open-source, high-performance time-series database and monitoring solution, VictoriaMetrics; as well as the open source logs database, VictoriaLogs, and our open source traces database, VictoriaTraces. Together, they form the VictoriaMetrics Observability Stack.
We are a fast-growing scaleup making our mark on the observability landscape with solutions that are simple, reliable and efficient. Fortune 500 companies use our products as their core observability solution such as Spotify R&D, Wix, Hubspot, Adidas, and thousands others. Our products have now surpassed 1 billion downloads.

We are hiring a Senior Developer Advocate, North America to be the technical face of VictoriaMetrics in the NA observability community — on HackerNews, in CNCF working groups, on KubeCon and other conference stages, and in the Slack and Discord channels where SREs and platform teams make solution decisions. This is a hands-on, technically credible role: you will ship code, write deep technical content, speak at conferences, and influence our product roadmap with what you hear from the community. You will work directly with our founders, engineering team, dev rel and marketing team, and you will have meaningful autonomy to shape how VictoriaMetrics shows up in the North American developer community.

Technical content and code (≈40%)

• Write deep-dive technical blog posts

• Build and maintain reference architectures, demo repositories, and working examples on GitHub.

• Contribute small fixes, docs PRs, and integration improvements to VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaTraces, VictoriaLogs, and our overall stack.

• Produce audio-visual content alongside your colleagues; screencasts, conference recordings, podcast appearances, technical interviews.

Community engagement and advocacy (≈30%)

• Maintain a credible, non-promotional presence on HackerNews, Reddit (r/devops, r/sre, r/kubernetes, r/grafana), CNCF Slack, the Prometheus and Grafana community channels, X/LinkedIn, and the Slack/Discord communities where observability conversations happen.

• Answer technical questions, weigh in substantively on comparison threads, and help users debug real problems.

• Partner with our Marketing Manager to develop online spaces, social presence, and partner programs that encourage peer support around our open-source projects.

Speaking and events (≈20%)

• Submit CFPs to and speak at North American conferences and meetups per year.

• Run online workshops, office hours, technical training, and developer-day style events.

• Represent VictoriaMetrics on podcasts, panels, and industry roundtables.

Feedback loop and product influence (≈10%)

• Synthesize community signal into concrete, actionable input for engineering and product leadership.

• Advocate internally for feature, documentation, and DX improvements based on what you hear from users

• Coordinate with our cross functional leads and counterparts in marketing for alignment and cohesion.

• 5+ years in a developer-facing role — developer advocacy, evangelism, developer experience, or hands-on SRE / observability engineering with substantial public output.

• Production experience with at least two of: Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Thanos, Cortex, Mimir, InfluxDB, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Loki, or Tempo.

• Comfortable reading and writing Go. You should be able to file substantive issues against VictoriaMetrics, read the source to answer your own questions, and contribute small PRs. • Fluency with PromQL and/or MetricsQL — you can debug a slow query, not just write one.

• Hands-on Kubernetes experience: Helm charts, operators, kubectl, the realities of running stateful workloads in production.

• Demonstrable public footprint: personal blog, conference talks, OSS contributions, or a substantial GitHub presence.

• Excellent written and verbal communication. Comfortable presenting to a room of skeptical engineers.

• Experience speaking at technical conferences; ideally CNCF or observability-focused (KubeCon, SREcon, and regional CNCF meetups).

• Experience with VictoriaMetrics or similar open source monitoring and observability tools.

• Previous experience in a user/customer-facing role
