Salesforce Developer Relations is hiring!
Who We Are
Our global team of creative and highly technical developer advocates inspires, enables, engages, and supports our ever-growing developer community around the world. We make developers successful on the Salesforce Platform!
We write blog posts, produce on-demand and live-streamed video content and podcasts, and engage virtually and in-person with developers at Salesforce and third-party developer events. We collaborate closely with developer marketing, product management, engineering, product marketing and other teams across the company. We represent the “voice of the developers” internally, and advocate on their behalf to help shape the Salesforce developer experience.
Who You Are
We are looking for an experienced technologist who embraces enterprise software development. You are a creative thinker who understands when to choose visual builder tools or when building with code from scratch. You are equally comfortable working with web frontend frameworks, Apex, and APIs.
You love going broad and deep, creating inspirational and technical open source demos, and complementing those demos with accessible written and video content. You are comfortable sharing your knowledge in front of a camera in your home-office, and you are looking forward to domestic (sometimes international) travel to present to live audiences of hundreds of people.
