Job Overview We’re looking for a Dev Events & Enablement Lead to run the field surface area of our strategy; events, community meetups, workshops that turn Buildkite’s PoV into lived moments; then convert those moments into repeatable pipeline, adoption, and advocacy through clear enablement for GTM to translate.
