About the role

  • 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.

Benefits

  • An inclusive, flexible environment where you can be your authentic self.
  • A competitive total compensation package.
  • Comprehensive group benefits with no waiting period.
  • Remote first company—most of our teams work fully remotely.
  • Connect with other Tailscalars IRL.
  • Support for your personal and professional development.
  • Paid time off and a healthy work-life integration.
  • A build-your-own home office setup.
  • Generous parental leave program from your first day.
