• Produce technical content—blog posts, tutorials, architectural guides, diagrams, and videos
• Gather structured feedback from DevDays sessions, office hours, and enterprise engagements to surface product gaps, developer experience friction, and adoption blockers from the EMEA market
• Serve as the regional voice of the enterprise developer, bringing EMEA-specific patterns and needs back to the broader DevRel, Engineering, and Product teams

• Experience mentoring others in a formal or informal capacity
• Comfort with approximately 50% travel within EMEA and occasional international travel

Nice to Have
