Developer Advocate - Data (Remote)
Bruin
Bruin is a unified analytics platform located in Berlin, Germany that focuses on transformation, data quality, observability, and governance. We provide a comprehensive solution for data management and analytics, helping organizations make informed decisions based on data-driven insights. You will join our team as the first developer advocate and build the foundations of our developer relations.
Our customers love Bruin for the ease of use, stellar developer experience, and the speed of iteration.
Role
You’ll own Bruin’s developer narrative end-to-end: a hands-on builder who designs and ships code-first demos, examples, and workshops that make ingestr, Bruin CLI, and Bruin Cloud click for data teams. You’ll teach and advocate through talks, tutorials, and starter repos; support users across GitHub/Slack; and turn real-world friction into issues, PRs, and roadmap input.
Working tightly with Product, Engineering, and PMM, you’ll plan and execute launch-ready demos, and continuously refine the developer experience to drive adoption and community growth.
What You'll Do
- Create high-signal content: code samples, blogs, tutorials, reference architectures, videos, talks
- Build starter repos, demo datasets, and end-to-end examples for sources/destinations and CDC
- Run workshops, webinars, conference talks, and community office hours
- Support users in forums/Discord/GitHub; triage issues and improve docs
- Partner with Product on roadmap feedback, DX improvements, and telemetry-driven insights
- Collaborate with Marketing on launches and with Sales on technical evaluations and POCs
- Grow and nurture contributors; recognize champions and case studies
- Implement metrics to track how the developer community is growing and engaging
First 90 Days
- Ship a refreshed quickstart and two production-grade examples (CLI + Cloud)
- Publish a hands-on workshop and a talk-ready demo
- Instrument docs and samples for usage and success metrics
Requirements
- 3–6 years building with data tools (DBs, ELT/CDC, orchestration, BI) and strong public communication
- Comfortable with CLI/SQL/YAML, Postgres/MySQL/MSSQL/Mongo basics, and containerized dev
- Proven content portfolio (talks, repos, tutorials) and habit of engaging developers
- Empathy for users, crisp writing, and ability to turn feedback into issues/PRs
Nice to Have
- Experience with Kafka/Redpanda, dbt, Iceberg/Delta, Trino/Presto, ClickHouse
- OSS community stewardship and contributor management
- Docs tooling familiarity (Sphinx/MkDocs/Docusaurus)
How We Work
- Fast feedback loops; ship small, ship often. We'd like to see artifacts within your first week.
- Tight collaboration with Product/Engineering; PMM is a strategic partner, not just a service desk.
- Bias to evidence: customer quotes, benchmarks, telemetry, and win/loss over vibes.
