As a Developer Educator, you’ll serve developers by inspiring and equipping them to build with LaunchDarkly with high quality technical videos. The person in this role will own the vision, strategy, metrics, and execution behind our developer videos. Success in this role requires the person to ship their own technical videos and own the results of that content across platforms. The individual will also work across the company to enable others to ship high quality videos in short and longer formats. Success in this role will create significant opportunity to build and scale a team of contractors and individual contributors as a team leader and manager.
Own and drive the vision, strategy, metrics, and execution behind our developer video content. Our current Developer Relations team has hustled to produce some initial short video content but we are investing in longer-form content as well as more short form content. This role will drive the execution and vision for how LaunchDarkly serves developers with developer videos. We aim to get developers to “aha!” moment with LaunchDarkly as quickly as possible, and then equip them to adopt increasingly advanced features of our platform.
Write code that enables developers to be successful with LaunchDarkly. This code will be part of the developer videos and will also be used by others on the Developer Relations team as inputs into blog posts, talks and other content that serves developers.
Work closely with our Product teams to ensure that our products are featured in developer videos and our features have a smooth developer experience.
Mentor others on the Developer Relations and Developer Experience teams. We have a lot of raw talent on the team that can develop into great senior leaders of their own with the right guidance, both in technical areas and more broadly in doing right by our colleagues and customers.
Decide how to scale our video efforts. As we see initial success we look to invest in more high quality video content created by contractors and individual contributors, which will be managed by the person in this role.
Deep expertise in at least one programming language such as JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C#, or PHP
Publicly-available high quality technical videos that you created which show the type of videos you are capable of publishing. This is most commonly shown through an existing YouTube channel or similar website
Firsthand knowledge of software development. A bonus is additional expertise in machine learning, AI and/or DevOps topics.
Self-starter attitude, empathetic, and motivated to serve developers and make the colleagues around you better

Modern software delivery was supposed to be the foundation for a thriving digital business but reality has proven otherwise. Slow, inefficient development cycles, costly outages, and fragmented customer experiences are preventing developers from building their best software. The LaunchDarkly platform helps developers innovate on new features faster while protecting them with a safety valve to instantly rewind when things go wrong. Developers can target product experiences to any customer segment and maximize the business impact of every feature. And by gradually rolling out new application components, they escape nightmare "big-bang" technology migrations.
