Developer Advocate creating engaging educational content on Tailscale's technology through videos. Involves production, scripting, and public representation at events.
Responsibilities
You’ll be expected to own large chunks of the production lifecycle of our video output, from identifying which topics are worth a developer’s time to scripting, recording, editing, publishing, and measuring impact.
Strong judgment is essential.
You will know what deserves depth, what should be left out, and how to explain complex technical ideas without oversimplifying or skipping the hard parts.
This role requires shipping consistently, with an expectation of producing high-quality videos on a regular, fast-paced cadence.
This is a hands-on, on-camera role.
You should be comfortable explaining nuanced technical concepts directly to developers, writing your own demos or examples where appropriate, and maintaining a calm, credible presence that builds trust over time.
Initially, you’ll step into our established YouTube presence as part of our Developer Relations team, and over time, you’ll help refine and evolve Tailscale’s video strategy, formats, and voice.
You’ll also represent Tailscale publicly through conference talks and in-person events as a steward of the brand.
Requirements
1–3+ years experience creating technical, educational, or developer-focused content (video, talks, tutorials, or similar)
Hands-on experience with video production tools and workflows (Adobe Suite, Final Cut Pro, frame.io, etc.), including scripting or outlining, recording, and editing long-form content
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly and accurately
Comfortable learning technical concepts related to developer tooling, infrastructure, or networking in order to create educational content
Comfortable presenting on camera and explaining technical ideas to a developer audience
Familiarity with video performance metrics (e.g., watch time, retention, engagement) and using feedback to iterate on content
Ability to manage multiple workstreams and meet regular publishing deadlines
Collaborative mindset, with experience working alongside engineers, product managers, or other technical stakeholders
Willingness to participate in public-facing work such as videos, talks, or occasional in-person events.
