Ktor Developer Advocate

at  JetBrains

We are looking for someone to advocate for Kotlin on the server side, with a focus on the Ktor framework. Ktor is already established in the community and also used internally at JetBrains. We believe that Ktor is great for server-side development, and we want you to help us spread the word. Ideally, you’re already passionate about the technology and want to help other users learn what it can do. We’re looking for someone who doesn’t like to be micromanaged, has the discipline to plan tasks and execute them independently, and enjoys taking responsibility for their own work. If you meet these requirements and, more importantly, believe in Kotlin, Ktor, and the work we do at JetBrains, this might be the job for you!

In this role, you will:

• Create educational content, both in text and video format, including blogs, tutorials, and screencasts.
• Create and maintain sample projects and perform other coding activities.
• Give talks at conferences, meetups, customer meetings, and other events.
• Interact with users and provide feedback to product teams.
• Work with the Product Management, Marketing, Engineering, and other teams at JetBrains.

We will be happy to have you on our team if you:

• Have worked as a server-side developer for several years.
• Understand the pain points and challenges of modern server-side development.
• Have experience giving talks at conferences.
• Have great communication and teaching skills.
• Are fluent in both spoken and written English.
• Have excellent self-organization and time management skills.

We’d be especially thrilled if you have:

• Familiarity with the Ktor framework.

• Create educational content, both in text and video format, including blogs, tutorials, and screencasts.
• Create and maintain sample projects and perform other coding activities.
• Give talks at conferences, meetups, customer meetings, and other events.
• Interact with users and provide feedback to product teams.
