The Who, What, Why and Where

Who

Twilio is looking for a Developer Evangelist to join our team in Berlin. This position is a 1 year fixed term contract.

You are a web developer. You understand the basics of the HTTP request and response cycle. You've written enough Python, PHP, Node, C# (.NET) or Java code to have opinions on the different web frameworks of a specific programming language, or even across multiple programming languages. You love to teach others. You understand that teaching sometimes requires much patience, but are driven by the immense satisfaction of seeing the light bulb go off in your students' heads. You are endlessly curious about and excited by technology. You know that there are usually smarter folks in the room and you're eager to learn from them.

We encourage candidates who have served or participated in underrepresented developer communities to apply, as this aligns closely to our values and priorities.

 What

You will help us inspire and equip developers fuel the future of communications. You'll be an active and authentic participant in the web developer community wherever they gather online and offline. For many of those developers, you will be "the face" of Twilio -- the person they ping when they need help. They will feel like VIPs because they know you. And when someone who works at Twilio needs to talk to that language community, they'll come to you. You'll attend, speak at and sponsor in-person events. You'll create content that breaks down the complex into the understandable. You'll tell stories with code, equipping developers with knowledge of tools and techniques, including but not limited to Twilio, that makes them better at their craft. You'll help create experiences which inspire developers to build amazing things. You can rely on the rich 10-year history of this team to help you develop any of these skills that you want to master.

Why

Twilio's mission is to fuel the future of communications. The Developer Network is the team at Twilio whose mission is to catalyze the network of developers who will build the future of communications. The DevNet is comprised of four teams that work closely with one another. Developer Evangelists inspire and equip developers by going to the language-centric and geographic communities where developers gather. Developer Educators challenge and empower developers by crafting world-class docs and training. Community Developers encourage and amplify developers by cultivating a core community of Twilio developers. 

Finally, the Developer Voices prompt and rally developers by enabling them to get their code on the Twilio blog. Together, these teams introduce developers to Twilio, help them get their projects shipped, build strong end enduring friendships with them and help them take the spotlight. Twilio is a company committed to your growth, your learning, your development and your entire employee experience. We only win when our employees succeed and we're dedicated to helping you develop your strengths. We have clear and concrete goals around inclusion and diversity that we believe makes us one of the best places in the world to work, and we do not think we can be a successful business without a diverse set of people in our ranks.

Where?

This position will be located in our beautiful office at Potsdamer Platz - Stresemannstr. 123 in Berlin. You will enjoy our incredible perks: catered meals, snacks, fresh fruit, regular office events and team activities, ergonomic desks, massages, monthly All Hands and more. You will also be part of a company that believes in small teams for maximum impact; that strives to balance work and home life; that understands that this is a marathon, not a sprint; that continuously and purposefully builds an inclusive culture where everyone is able to do and be the best version of themselves. We seek people who naturally demonstrate our values, who are challenged by problems, empower others to thrive, and can draw the owl and not be beholden to one playbook.

You can enjoy our incredible perks: a free Kindle when you build your Twilio app, monthly Kindle book reimbursement, monthly gym reimbursement, bi-weekly All Hands and more.

We believe in serving developers where they are already gathering in real life so you should be comfortable travelling at least 25-50% of your time.
