It's designed for an era where agents and humans run observability together. We are a YC company with 32K+ GitHub stars\nSome of the most interesting AI and infrastructure teams in the Bay Area run on SigNoz, including Kernel and Sail Research. Their engineers have great stories about how they debug and scale production systems. Very few of those stories get told today\nYour job is to fix that. You'll be the face of SigNoz in the Bay Area: on stage at meetups, on camera with customers, and in the room at events.\nWhat you will own\n1. Customer stories (the biggest lever)\nFind Bay Area customers with a story worth telling: how they moved off an incumbent tool, scaled to billions of events, or debug AI agents in production.\n\nVisit them, interview their engineers and film technical videos and case studies on site. You run the conversation and the technical depth.\n\nTurn those relationships into references, quotes and talks that help sales close deals.\n\n2. Talks, meetups and events\nSpeak regularly at Bay Area meetups: OpenTelemetry, cloud native and Kubernetes, AI engineering, SRE and platform engineering.\n\nHost small, high-quality events: engineering dinners, roundtables and SigNoz meetups for the teams we want to work with.\n\nRepresent SigNoz at conferences like KubeCon and SRECON, AI meetups through talks, booths or side events.\n\n3. Webinars and live content\nHost and present webinars with customers and our engineers: deep dives, migrations and live debugging sessions. Our India team runs the logistics and promotion. You make the content worth showing up for.\n\nWrite or record technical content when the story needs a first-hand voice.\n\n4. Work with sales\nJoin our Account Executive and Forward Deployed Engineer on customer visits when a technical talk or workshop will help.\n\nBring what you hear from customers and the community back to product and marketing.\n\nHow the role grows\nThis role starts hands-on: you plan your own calendar, run the events and give the talks yourself. Once the motion reliably produces stories, community and pipeline, you can build a small US DevRel and field team around it.\nWhat success looks like\n30 days: You've run SigNoz yourself on a real app and know the product, the customers and the team. You've mapped the Bay Area meetups worth being part of. Your first customer story is in production.\n\n90 days: You've published three customer stories, spoken at four or more meetups, hosted the first SigNoz dinner or meetup, and run at least two webinars.\n\n12 months: You publish customer stories and host events every month. Bay Area infra and AI engineers know SigNoz through you. Sales can point to deals that started at your events or were won with your stories.\n\nWho we think fits\n3+ years as a software engineer, SRE, platform engineer, solutions engineer or developer advocate. You don't need a DevRel title. Many of the best people for this role are engineers who became the person their team sends to give the talk, write the post or meet the customer.\n\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related technical field.\n\nYou like explaining technical things to people, and you have some public proof: a talk, a blog post, a popular open source project, a meetup you organized, or customer-facing work. You're comfortable on camera\n\nYou understand production systems: Observability, OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure or AI infrastructure. You can run a demo, answer hard questions and write code when needed. You don't need to be expert in this, but should be able to understand.\n\nYou're self-directed. You build your own plan and calendar, follow up with people without being reminded, and measure the results.\n\nYou enjoy meeting people. You come back from an event with names, follow-ups and a story idea.\n\nYou're based in the San Francisco Bay Area, or will move here, and can travel about 20% of the time.\n\nBonus points\nYou've given conference or meetup talks.\n\nYou've organized or grown a meetup or developer community.\n\nYou've done developer relations at a developer-tools or infrastructure startup.\n\nYou've contributed to open source\n\nYou're already part of the Bay Area AI engineering scene.\n\nWhy SigNoz\nReal product pull. Thousands of teams use SigNoz, including some of the most interesting AI companies in the Bay Area.\n\nWork directly with the CEO, who is also based in the Bay Area.\n\nBuild the US community function from the start, with budget and a clear path to leading it.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4603,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Observability & APM"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T00:47:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":142,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":220000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/signoz-developer-relation-engineer-us-sf-bay-area","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/signoz-developer-relation-engineer-us-sf-bay-area.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T08:54:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6956,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3618},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3618"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsignoz-developer-relation-engineer-us-sf-bay-area"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsignoz-developer-relation-engineer-us-sf-bay-area"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsignoz-developer-relation-engineer-us-sf-bay-area"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/signoz-developer-relation-engineer-us-sf-bay-area\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsignoz-developer-relation-engineer-us-sf-bay-area"}]}
