Role Summary:

Prefect is looking for a Developer Advocate to join our small but mighty marketing team to work closely with the data engineering community and to regularly write and publish engaging technical content, from tutorials and how-to's to thought leadership and observation pieces.

• Be a liaison between developers and internal teams, advocating for improved documentation and user experience.
• Leverage in-depth knowledge of SQL, Python, and relevant infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, etc) to create code samples, tutorials, and (at times) documentation that resonate with developers using our platform.
• Stay actively involved in the data space, keeping up-to-date with industry trends, tools, and best practices.
• Understand the work of data engineers and platform teams to tailor content, tutorials and documentation to their specific needs.
• Represent Prefect by speaking at industry conferences and meetups.
