Dragonfly is looking for a Developer Advocate to serve as the founding member of the Developer Relations function. Dragonfly is a drop-in Redis replacement that is high-performance, low-complexity, and built for scale. Dragonfly's modern architecture enables it to scale vertically to support millions of requests per second and terabyte-sized workloads, all on a single instance.
While the company is less than a year old, Dragonfly has already gained a lot of developer attention (20K Github stars), and this role has the opportunity to build on and scale that momentum.
Your job will be to make sure that developers around the world are aware of Dragonfly, the problems it solves for them, and have access to resources that will allow them to get up and running as quickly as possible. This is a high-impact, founding role in a company that is aiming to disrupt an extremely large market. You will have the autonomy to lead initiatives and work across teams to ensure maximum impact.
Join us in our mission to shape the future of in-memory datastores by providing a well-designed, ultra-fast, and cost-effective solution for cloud workloads. Together we will enable the software development community to reach its full potential and accelerate human innovation.
