Summary
Developer Advocate / DX Lead | Performance Tooling | Devtools Startup
Ever read a flame graph for fun? Keep reading.
I'm working with a devtools company building performance testing that actually lives in CI. Their users include some of the biggest names in infrastructure, frontend, and open source. And they want someone to own the developer side of the house.
This isn't a "post on socials twice a week" advocacy role. You'll own the function and shape it.
What you'll be doing:
What they're looking for:
Nice to haves:
If you've been the person in your community explaining why something's slow, this one's for you.

I'm working with a devtools company building performance testing that actually lives in CI. Their users include some of the biggest names in infrastructure, frontend, and open source. And they want someone to own the developer side of the house.
This isn't a "post on socials twice a week" advocacy role. You'll own the function and shape it.
What you'll be doing:
- Working hands-on with power users and turning their feedback into real product changes
- Owning DX end to end: docs, tutorials, integration guides. The goal is it clicks in the first 10 minutes
- Building partnerships with adjacent dev tools so the product shows up where devs already work
- Writing content people actually want to read. Performance investigations, deep dives, the odd conference talk
- Running meetups, workshops, and challenges built around real production use cases
- Helping shape how performance tooling fits into the AI era of software engineering
What they're looking for:
- A real engineering background. You've shipped code, you read source, you can debug a flame graph
- Hands-on time with a low-level language (Rust, C/C++)
- Strong technical writing. You can take a gnarly perf investigation and make it readable
- Comfortable speaking in public. Doesn't need to be your favourite thing
- A track record building advocacy, DX, or community programs, ideally somewhere devtools
- Self-directed. Nobody's handing you a playbook
Nice to haves:
- An existing presence in the dev community (GitHub, HN, a blog, X)
- Background in observability, perf tooling, or CI/CD
- OSS contributions around benchmarking, profilers, or runtimes
- Comfort with language and runtime internals
If you've been the person in your community explaining why something's slow, this one's for you.
