Today is my first day as Head of Developer Advocacy and Docs at TigerData! Pretty excited to get started.

Ok so I’m attending reinvent this year (it’s my first time, but trust me I’ve gotten lots of tips lol)

Who am I going to see there? Looking forward to seeing some pals :)

I'm looking for a developer advocate with 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺, with a strong focus on 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 sectors.

These are two very critical must-haves for this role:

Deep experience in the industrial ecosystem (whether in energy, manufacturing, automation, or systems integration)

Worked directly with or inside SIs, OEMs, industrial cloud platforms, or technology vendors

If this is you (or someone you know) take a look at the job posting and let me know!

Wrote a thing about why DevRel folks need to learn to speak "business" without losing their souls.

Six posts on sales, marketing, finance, and PLG. Because "developers love us!" isn't a budget defense and we all know it.

Turns out you CAN serve developers AND understand what ARR means. Wild, I know.

I hear over and over again, "the business doesn't understand DevRel." I'm here to tell you that is backwards - the problem is that DevRel doesn't understand business.

Stef & I are really looking forward to celebrating our wedding (again!) at Riot Fest next month! We have our passes, but if anyone wants to contribute to the other costs for our “mini-honeymoon” (or our new tattoos to celebrate) as a wedding gift… @Matt-Stratton-4@venmo.com

I’m hiring a Staff Developer Educator on my team at Tiger Data!

If you love helping developers learn, write great docs, and make complex tech approachable, this could be a great fit. Remote across North America

Strategic PMs see the whole business - sales struggles, marketing wins, what’s really happening.

Build the right product partnership and they’ll share it with you.

New post on why Product is DevRel’s secret weapon:

Learn how fast, zero-copy database forks work and help us feel just a little better about letting coding agents work work with data

Agents don't behave like humans when they code.

They fork prod, test 3 indexes in parallel, compare results, delete the forks, report back - all in one conversation. They need different infrastructure.

So we built it.
