About the Job

We’re looking for the founding member of our new Developer Relations team to help educate, inspire, and support the developers building exceptional product notification experiences on top of Knock.

This is a crucial team for us to build at Knock and, as such, a crucial first hire. We know the continued success of our product lies in making sure that the developers who adopt our product are successful in doing so. Your success in this role will be our success as a company.

As the first hire of this new team, you’ll work closely with us to define the role of developer relations at Knock and work with us to scale the team.

Last thing: you can be a great fit even if you don't perfectly match what's described below. We know there's a lot we don't know and haven't thought of yet, and we're looking for teammates that can tell us what those things are. If that's you, don't hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself!
