Signadot is a Kubernetes-native platform that accelerates the development of microservices based applications. Using Signadot developers enable Previews and integration Testing at scale for every Pull Request without runaway infrastructure costs. By enabling testing early in the development lifecycle developers enjoy 10x faster feedback cycles.

We are well-funded by top-tier Investors, have leaders from prominent devtool companies as Angel investors and have some of the top YC companies using our platform. We are looking for motivated folks to join us in building the next-generation development platform! If you have empathy for developers building cloud native software, we want to hear from you!

Overview

At Signadot, we are building a Kubernetes-native platform to solve one of the biggest challenges in modern software development: testing microservices. As AI changes how software is written, we are at the forefront of enabling Agentic Workflows, allowing coding agents to write, run, and validate code in high-fidelity, ephemeral "sandbox" environments.

We are looking for a Developer Relations Engineer (Contract) to be our internal “agentic development power-user.” This is a highly technical, engineering-first role. You will use Signadot in combination with cutting-edge coding agents to build Kubernetes-based demo applications and showcase how Signadot enables AI to "close the loop" in distributed systems development.

What You'll Do:

Demonstrate Agent-First Workflows

• Build and implement advanced agentic workflows using Signadot alongside coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and Gemini.
• Act as a power user to identify how Signadot can best empower agents to operate effectively within complex, distributed systems.

Build and Maintain Demo Applications

• Expand existing demo applications and create new microservices demos that utilize Kubernetes and cloud-native tools (e.g., Kafka, Istio, SQL/NoSQL databases).
• Manage the Kubernetes manifests and service configurations required to run these demos, ensuring they reflect real-world engineering challenges.

Create Technical Content and Artifacts

• Video Content: Produce high-quality technical video demos (2–5 minutes) documenting your process, outcomes, and agentic workflows.
• Written Content: Write in-depth technical blog posts and tutorials that resonate with Platform Engineers and DevOps teams.
• Documentation: Own and improve technical documentation, specifically around AI/Agentic use cases and reference architectures.

Engage Users and Drive Product

• Feedback Loop: Act as a bridge between the community and the product team. Channel insights from your technical explorations and user interactions directly to the founding team to shape the roadmap.
• Community Support: Help users succeed by answering technical questions in community channels (e.g., Slack) and occasionally joining customer-facing calls to demonstrate advanced workflows.
• Product Advocacy: Be the primary technical voice for the developer experience, identifying gaps in the product and suggesting features that make Signadot the go-to platform for agentic development.

Requirements

• Cloud Native Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Kafka, and service meshes (Istio). GitHub profile with relevant projects is required.
• Agentic Workflow Proficiency: Early adopter of AI coding tools; you understand how to build workflows that allow agents to operate effectively within complex systems.
• Content Creation: A portfolio of technical video content (with high-quality audio) and proven technical writing skills for a developer audience.
• Communication: Native or fluent English speaker with the ability to explain nuanced technical concepts clearly.
• Time Zone: Ability to overlap for at least 4 hours with PST working hours.

Engagement Details

• Role: Part-Time / Contract (~15–20 hours per week)
• Compensation: $60 – $80 per hour (depending on experience)
• Location: Fully Remote

How to Apply

To apply, please provide:

1. A link to your GitHub or a technical project showcasing your K8s/microservices work.
2. A link to a sample of your technical writing.
3. Required Video Demo: Provide a 2–5 minute video (Loom or similar).
   • The Content: We are looking for a step-by-step technical walkthrough. Show us the "how" and the "why" behind a workflow. The content should be practical and detailed enough to be understood by our audience of Platform and DevOps engineers.
   • The Quality: The video must have clear audio and non-generic content. We want to see how you teach and navigate a technical environment.
   • Prompt: You are encouraged to use our Claude Code Tutorial as a reference/guide for what to explain or demonstrate in the video.

Why Join Us?

• Impact: This is a foundational role. You will build our DevRel function from the ground up and have a direct say in our product's direction.

Bonus Points

• Experience with Kubernetes is highly desired
• Experience working for an early stage startup

Our platform is written in Golang and leverages technologies like Kubernetes and Service Meshes.
