Developer Advocate
About Nuon
Nuon is pioneering Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) — a new model for SaaS infrastructure. We enable companies to deploy software directly into their customers’ cloud environments, delivering enterprise-grade security, compliance, and performance by default. Based in San Francisco, we’re backed by top investors, having raised $16.5M, and we're on a mission to change how modern software is delivered.
Your Mission
Your mission is to make Nuon the loudest and most credible voice in the BYOC space. Developer conversations about BYOC should start with Nuon, and you’ll be the one helping us get there. You'll be the architect of Nuon’s developer community and the voice that bridges our product with thousands of engineers. You will build our DevRel motion – creating the content, documentation, and experiences that will define how developers discover, learn, and succeed with Nuon. You'll be working at the intersection of technical depth and community building through demos, community building, and education, you’ll position Nuon as the go-to resource for developers, enterprises, and the industry at large.
The Role
We’re hiring our first Developer Advocate lead to connect with the developer and infrastructure community. This role blends advocacy, content creation, and community building. You’ll represent Nuon at events, create demos and tutorials, and engage with developers online — showing the value of BYOC in action. You’ll also act as a feedback loop to product and engineering, helping ensure Nuon is built with and for developers. This role requires exceptional technical chops, world-class communication skills, and the creativity to make complex integrations accessible and exciting.
