Metabase

US · Full-time · $135,000 – $190,000

About this role

Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups to major corporations. We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the world of enterprise business intelligence.

As a Developer Advocate, you'll show up where developers already spend time, contributing real value and building long-term trust. Your day-to-day involves creating practical tutorials, videos, and demos, as well as editing content from internal engineers and guest contributors.

You'll develop and execute plans to build and nurture Metabase's developer community through events, livestreams, and social media. You'll be genuinely helpful in Slack, forums, Reddit, Discord, and YouTube, building real relationships with developers and community leaders.

This role offers the opportunity to represent Metabase at events as a credible practitioner, not a booth rep, and to bring honest community feedback back to the product team. You'll help shape a product used by tens of thousands of companies while growing as a teacher, builder, and learner.

Develop and execute plans to build, enable, and nurture Metabase's developer community through events, meetups, livestreams, courses, social media, and partnerships
