Developer Relations Manager

The Role:

We're looking for a strategic and hands-on Developer Relations Manager to lead Apryse’s efforts in building a strong, engaged developer community. In this role, you’ll define our global developer advocacy strategy, elevate our technical brand presence, and champion the voice of the developer across content, community, and product. You’ll work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and marketing teams to scale impactful programs that build trust, drive adoption, and position Apryse as a developer-first company.

Responsibilities: 

• Own the advocacy strategy: Define and execute programs aligned with the long-term goals of awareness, trust, and community-led advocacy.
• Drive developer brand presence: Increase Apryse visibility through community participation, technical content, events, and third-party developer engagement.
• Manage and scale advocacy programs: Identify and support developer advocates (internal and external) who can amplify our reach and credibility.
• Oversee content strategy: Coordinate with internal contributors (engineering, marketing, research) to create high-quality blogs, talks, demos, and tutorials.
• Build feedback loops: Establish mechanisms to gather qualitative insights from developers and route them back into product, marketing, and documentation efforts.
• Define and track metrics: Report on activity metrics (e.g. talks, posts) and engagement metrics (e.g. shares, mentions, word-of-mouth referrals).
• Partner across functions: Collaborate closely with Engineering, Marketing, Product, and Community teams to ensure alignment and avoid siloed efforts.

Requirements:

• 5+ years in Developer Relations, Developer Advocacy, or a related field in a technical company (SDK or platform experience strongly preferred).
• Background in software engineering or technical writing; ability to understand and communicate complex technical topics clearly.
• Proven track record of growing developer engagement and brand affinity.
• Experience leading community-building initiatives or ambassador programs.
• Excellent cross-functional leadership and communication skills.
• Comfortable being the public face of technical content, online or at events.
• Strong understanding of what makes developers tick — especially those who are marketing-averse, highly technical, and community-oriented.

Assets:

• Experience working in the document, SDK, or B2D (business-to-developer) space.
• Familiarity with open-source community engagement models.
• Exposure to developer SEO/SEM strategy and event-based developer outreach.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and qualifications. 
• A comprehensive extended benefits package including health, dental and vision for you and your family, with company paid offerings.
• 401K savings program with company match.
• Generous paid time off (PTO) is offered to support the ability to rest and recharge.
• A great team environment and resources, supporting you to do the best work of your life and providing unlimited career growth potential.
• Highly autonomous and entrepreneurial environment.
• Annual recurring WFH allowance for you to purchase items you need for your home office.
• Ongoing support for learning development so you can master your craft.
• Work with the hardware you're most comfortable with (Windows or Mac).
• Diverse and inclusive workplace where we all learn from each other.
