Developer Evangelist

The world runs on open source, and projects need more than a version or source control system to scale. The Linux Foundation has evolved a proven methodology to transform projects into category leaders. LFX operationalizes this approach, providing a suite of tools built to facilitate every aspect of open source development. Critical projects must have their finger on the pulse of their entire developer ecosystem, with tools tailored to key stakeholders driving project development, including maintainers, contributors, community managers, marketers, and more.

In your role as a Developer Evangelist, you will connect with our project community stakeholders, and will be responsible for advocating the LFX platform through speaking at virtual and in-person events, contributing articles and blog posts, webinars, and presenting directly to project stakeholders. Your efforts will help foster the growth of a new community around the LFX platform and contribute to the Linux Foundation’s goal of simplifying the lives of developers, supporting organizations, and end-users, one open-source project at a time.

You are passionate about open technologies and are a self-starter who isn’t afraid to drive these efforts, seeking out opportunities and feeling empowered to grow the LFX ecosystem.

• Lead the conversation around the features and benefits of the LFX platform and best practices for project communities
• Channel information back to product and engineering about your learnings by being an active participant in these communities
• Reach our open technology communities by developing original content to educate and inspire
• Monitor and contribute to a variety of platforms, blogs, and forums, such as StackOverflow, GitHub, and Twitter
• Connect with hundreds of high-profile maintainers and contributors across our project ecosystem
• Be our spokesperson. Participate in virtual and in-person events as a speaker, present video demonstrations and webinars, and meet regularly with project communities
• Identify exciting ways to grow LFX adoption among our project communities, and execute on them.

What we’re looking for:

• In-depth industry experience contributing to open source project ecosystems
• At least 2 years of experience giving talks, developing demos, webinars, and other content for audiences of 150+
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a proven ability to engage and empathize with community members
• Self-directed and ability to work with minimal supervision
• Experience serving as a media spokesperson
• Development experience with Golang, Angular, ELK Stack, and AWS preferred.
• Meaningful social presence with engaged followers is preferred
