Job description

Who we are
We're Redis. We built the product that runs the fast apps our world runs on. (If you checked the weather, used your credit card, or looked at your flight status online today, you’re welcome.) At Redis, you’ll work with the fastest, simplest technology in the business—whether you’re building it, telling its story, or selling it to our 10,000+ worldwide customers. We’re creating a faster world with simpler experiences. You in?

Why You’ll Love This Job

The Developer Advocates at Redis are a team of passionate technologists who thrive on sharing their knowledge and experience with the developer community. Our advocates have created online courses, produced engaging videos, presented at major tech conferences, and contributed to open-source projects. Redis is a versatile database, and our Developer Advocacy team plays a critical role in demonstrating its potential and guiding users in making the most of it.

As a Senior Developer Advocate for Redis, you’ll be the bridge between Redis and its users, gathering valuable feedback to help us continuously improve our product. You'll have the opportunity to connect with developers worldwide, sharing your technical expertise and advocating for their needs.

As we continue to grow the team, we're particularly interested in candidates with expertise in Java and other JVM-based languages. If the JVM is your jam, we'd love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

Empower Users: Build demos, write code examples, create reference architectures, and share these with the community to help users succeed with Redis.
Engage with the Community: Actively participate in public Redis forums and online discussions to support and guide our user base.
Share Your Expertise: Regularly publish content (blog posts, tutorials, videos) and share your technical knowledge with our global user base.
Present at Events: Represent Redis at developer conferences, community meetups, and Redis-sponsored events.
Understand and Advocate: Develop a deep understanding of how our products are used by the community, and use this knowledge to advocate for the best developer experience internally. Master our client libraries, including Jedis, Lettuce, and Redis OM Spring, and help our users succeed with them.
Provide Product Feedback: Offer insights on new product developments, focusing on developer ergonomics, thorough documentation, and appropriate product positioning.

What You’ll Need

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
Experience: At least five years in software development, with a focus on application development, databases, distributed systems, or similar technologies.
Technical Proficiency: Strong programming skills in Java. Solid understanding of relational databases and familiarity with the NoSQL space.
Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
Community Engagement: Experience engaging with developer communities, whether through public speaking, writing, or online forums.

Extra Skills That Are Great to Have

While not required, these additional skills will make you an even stronger candidate:

Advanced Degree: M.Sc. in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
NoSQL Expertise: Experience working with NoSQL databases, with a strong preference for Redis.
Vector Databases and AI: Knowledge of vector databases, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and experience in applied AI engineering.
Container Orchestration: Familiarity with container orchestration environments, such as Kubernetes, and experience deploying and managing applications in these environments.

Cloud and On-Premise Experience: Experience working in both cloud-based (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and on-premise service and technology environments.
