About The Role

We are looking for an Engineering Relations Partner to join the Corporate Affairs and R&D teams. You will work closely with our engineering teams to tell the story of what we’re building in a language that other expert engineers understand.

This is a technical content execution role requiring strong, foundational engineering skills. You will translate what our engineers build and learn into high-quality narratives: the kind that earns genuine respect in engineering communities, gets accepted at top-tier conferences, and attracts exceptional engineers from around the world.

The right person for this role is a skilled engineer who has found their voice as a writer and communicator; someone who can walk into a room of engineers as a peer, ask the right questions, and come out with a story worth telling.

Who You Are

To succeed in this role, you must have:

• Strong engineering capabilities: A solid background in computer science or software engineering. You have written and shipped code professionally, understand modern system architectures, and can deeply engage with complex technical concepts.
• Technical depth: Experience working within fintech, infrastructure, distributed systems, or high-scale engineering environments where you can comfortably read codebases, interpret technical documentation, and grasp deep architecture choices.
• Exceptional writing skills: Clarity, precision, and the ability to articulate intricate technical trade-offs and ideas accessibly without oversimplifying or watering them down.
• Proactive narrative instinct: The ability to independently dive into engineering projects, spot the most compelling technical breakthroughs or lessons, and build content around them without needing explicit instruction.
• Technical credibility: A genuine, firsthand understanding of what makes technical content credible, shareable, and respected by discerning engineering communities.
• Autonomy: The ability to manage multiple projects, technical interviews, and deadlines independently in a fully remote environment.

It's a strong plus if you have:

• Active engineering or open-source involvement: An active presence in developer spaces, an updated technical blog, open-source contributions, or a history of speaking at engineering conferences.
• Developer Relations experience: Background in DevRel or managing technical communities, showing you know how to engage developers authentically at scale.
• Track record in technical publishing: Experience drafting accepted conference abstracts/proposals (CFPs) for recognized industry events.
• Multimodal content production: Experience writing technical video scripts, technical teardowns, or working alongside creative production teams.
