# Developer Advocate - Volcano

Are you ready to unlock intelligence? If you don’t think you meet all of the criteria below but are still interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box - we’re looking for candidates that are particularly strong in a few areas, and have some interest and capabilities in others. About the Role: Volcano (volcano.dev) is a cloud for apps built with coding agents. You tell Claude Code, Cursor or Codex what you want, and it sets up the database, auth, functions, storage, realtime and deploys on Volcano without a trip through a dashboard. Most platforms were designed around a person in a console and added agent support later. We started from the agent. We're a small team and launched publicly in September 2026. Volcano is incubated by Kong and runs as its own company with its own brand. This role sits between engineering and the developers we build for. You'll build on Volcano constantly, show people what it can do, and bring back what you learn so the product gets better. What You'll Do: Own the Volcano Cookbook: recipes that build real apps on Volcano with tools developers already use, written up with the code, the decisions and the gotchas.
