Developer Relations Engineer at Canonical

Description

A Developer Relations Engineer is a technical expert, strategist and communicator with deep empathy for developers.

This discipline combines practical engineering skills with firm diplomacy across organisational boundaries, in both directions. Like our audience, a Developer Relations Engineer is never satisfied with the status quo, and is driven by an insatiable curiosity to find better ways to get things done.

They are problem-solvers and inventors, who understand people's needs and love the way that tools can be adapted to meet them.

They stay current with tech trends and provide insights and guidance while fostering innovation.
