Developer Relations Lead

About the role

As our Developer Relations Lead , you'll be the public, technical, and human face of Flox to software engineers and builders worldwide. You'll build integrations, demos, proof-of-concepts, and real technical deliverables that showcase what's possible with Flox and then use those artifacts to drive Flox adoption and activation. You'll help organizations understand the value of reproducible environments while nurturing a thriving professional community around Flox. You'll also play a key role in helping Flox's ecosystem grow. While this is not a sales role, you'll naturally surface new opportunities through advocacy, education, and technical partnership by translating community engagement into qualified interest and adoption. And because you're embedded inside the marketing team, you'll bring an engineer's mindset to the marketing function itself - building agents, automations, and systems that let a small team ship like a large one. This is a highly autonomous position: you'll influence direction and lead by doing. Core Responsibilities Champion the Software Professional Experience Own the touchpoints for the end-to-end journey of engineers, operators, and platform teams using Flox. Collaborate with Marketing and Sales to build integrations, demos, tutorials, and technical documentation that show Flox in production-like contexts and make adoption seamless. Provide field-level technical support during pilots or early evaluations, helping prospective teams succeed quickly. Community Growth & Ecosystem Activation Build and sustain an inclusive, knowledgeable community across GitHub, Discord, LinkedIn, Reddit, BlueSky, X, and other professional spaces. You're on socials all the time. Host workshops, office hours, and community meetups that connect users directly with Flox engineers turning users into advocates. Forge partnerships with leading developer tools and platforms to integrate Flox into the products engineers already use every day. Public Advocacy & Outreach Represent Flox at conferences, panels, podcasts, and meetups by sharing stories and use cases that connect technology to human impact. Publish content (tutorials, case studies, blog posts, livestreams) that educates and attracts new interest in Flox.. Marketing Systems & Automation Build agents and automations that handle ongoing marketing work - monitoring competitor activity, tracking brand sentiment, generating targeted content, or repurposing long-form content into channel-native formats.
