Are you a builder and educator at heart, someone who loves breaking down complex topics, presenting at events, and creating demos that make technology tangible?

As a Databricks Developer Advocate on the Neon DevRel team, you’ll be a crucial link between our engineering teams and the community of application developers building their projects on Postgres and Neon. This role will use your technical expertise to support, inspire, and educate our user base and the wider developer community.

Your responsibilities will encompass a wide range of educational and knowledge-sharing activities. You’ll create technical blog posts and video guides, build demo projects and developer tools, deliver workshops and conference talks, and publish example integrations with frameworks and CLIs. These efforts will make Neon’s unique capabilities, such as branching for preview environments, tangible and approachable for developers, helping them get more out of the platform. Additionally, these efforts will help highlight Neon’s architecture and our technical passion to the broader application developer community.

User education will be at the heart of your role. You’ll work closely with the neon.com community and with product and engineering teams, ensuring developer needs and product development remain aligned. Reporting into the DevRel team, you’ll collaborate with fellow advocates, program managers, and the broader Databricks DevRel org to create and execute a cohesive and impactful education strategy.

The ideal candidate will embody the values of our Developer Relations team: a passion for application development, empathy for developer needs, and the ability to explain complex topics with clarity and enthusiasm.

You’ll use your skills to create deeply technical, hands-on education that empowers developers to adopt Neon effectively, while continuously gathering and sharing feedback to improve the learning journey and developer experience.
