What is a senior developer relations engineer?

A Senior Developer Relations Engineer is a technical professional who bridges the gap between a company’s engineering teams and external developers or technical communities. They advocate for developers' needs, create technical content, support community engagement, and help improve products by relaying developer feedback to product teams. In addition to coding, they often deliver talks, write documentation, and build sample apps to demonstrate product capabilities. Their role is crucial in fostering a vibrant developer ecosystem and driving product adoption.

How does a senior developer relations engineer balance technical advocacy with community engagement responsibilities?

A Senior Developer Relations Engineer often splits their time between creating technical content—such as sample code, tutorials, or demos—and actively engaging with developer communities through events, forums, and social media. Balancing these aspects requires strong time management and the ability to prioritize high-impact outreach activities while staying current with the company's products. Common challenges include managing travel or event schedules, aligning with internal product teams, and ensuring community feedback is relayed effectively. Collaboration is key, as this role frequently works with engineering, marketing, and product management teams to drive adoption and improve developer experiences.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a senior developer relations engineer?

A Senior Developer Relations Engineer should have strong software development experience, a deep understanding of APIs and developer tools, and typically a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with programming languages, cloud platforms, documentation tools, and content management systems is essential, along with experience using or supporting open-source projects. Exceptional communication, community engagement, and problem-solving skills set top candidates apart by enabling them to connect with and support developer communities effectively. These skills are crucial for fostering adoption, gathering feedback, and building trust between developers and the organization.

Job description

We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We're dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid's network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam.
The mission of the Developer Relations team is to empower developers to easily use and understand Plaid's products, delivering a supportive, industry-leading developer experience via scalable, broad-reaching methods. The scope of this role covers all of Plaid's commercially available, customer-facing products.
We're looking for an experienced Developer Relations Engineer to help the world's fintech companies (and we believe every company is a fintech company, even if they don't know it yet) integrate with Plaid's APIs. In this role, you'll create best-in-class developer experiences, cementing Plaid's reputation as the most trustworthy, developer-friendly financial services API. This is a highly technical, highly visible role with direct impact on Plaid's product, brand, and developer experience.
Responsibilities
  • Create and evolve developer documentation for Plaid's APIs - writing new content, and improving clarity, accuracy, and usability of existing content. Distill complex technical topics into approachable, accurate explanations for a broad developer audience.
  • Design and build sample applications, demos, and tutorial videos that demonstrate the benefits of integrating with Plaid's APIs and the best practices to use during integrations.
  • Improve and maintain developer-facing resources, including the Postman collection, documentation website, and other assets.
  • Serve as the developer's advocate, working with our developer community and translating external developer needs into actionable product and documentation insights for internal teams.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Design, and Marketing to ensure Plaid delivers a best-in-class developer experience and to build solutions that engage, activate, and onboard new developers at scale.

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in Developer Relations, Developer Advocacy, or similar roles, or a combination of 2+ years in Developer Relations and 3+ years in related technical roles such as Software Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Implementation, or Sales Engineering.
  • Ability to write clear, idiomatic code in at least one widely used backend language and one frontend language
  • Experience building sample applications and technical demos.
  • Experience writing high-quality developer documentation from scratch, and identifying gaps or opportunities in existing documentation.
  • Ability to quickly learn and clearly explain new technologies and concepts.
  • Strong developer empathy, with the ability to understand and communicate what matters most to developers.
  • Ability to thoughtfully leverage generative AI to accelerate your work while maintaining a high standard of quality in external-facing content.

Nice to Have
  • Familiarity with OpenAPI.
  • Experience with web or mobile development.
  • Experience working on B2B APIs.
  • Experience building or growing developer communities around B2B APIs.
  • Strong presentation skills.
  • Experience creating technical content across formats such as slide decks, diagrams, web apps, or video.

Our mission at Plaid is to unlock financial freedom for everyone. To support that mission, we seek to build a diverse team of driven individuals who care deeply about making the financial ecosystem more equitable. We recognize that strong qualifications can come from both prior work experiences and lived experiences. We encourage you to apply to a role even if your experience doesn't fully match the job description. We are always looking for team members that will bring something unique to Plaid!
