About the Role
Kestra is one of the fastest-growing open-source orchestration platforms, but in the communities where developers make their tooling decisions, we're still largely absent. Reddit threads, Hacker News discussions, Discord servers, LinkedIn debates, Stack Overflow questions: that's where engineers evaluate tools like Kestra, and we want to show up there the right way.
We're looking for someone who genuinely lives in developer communities, not someone we need to convince to spend time there, but someone who already does because they love it. Your mission is to make Kestra a trusted, respected voice in the conversations that matter to our users and future users.
This is a Developer Relations role at its core. Not marketing. Not sales. The goal is to be useful, credible, and present, and to contribute real value to the communities we're part of.
What You'll Do
Be Present Where Developers Are
Engage authentically across Hacker News, Reddit, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Medium, Discord, Stack Overflow, and GitHub in discussions around workflow orchestration, data engineering, infrastructure automation, and open-source tooling
Answer questions, share knowledge, and contribute to conversations because that's the job, not a side effect of it
Identify the communities and topics where Kestra has the most to contribute and build a genuine presence there over time
Create Content That Earns Its Place
Partner with Product Marketing, DevRel, and Product teams to surface and highlight use cases, comparisons, and explainers in the right communities at the right time
Contribute to subreddits, HN threads, LinkedIn posts, and Medium publications as an expert, not a promoter
Use AI tools to move fast without sacrificing technical accuracy or depth
Connect the Community to the Product
Surface community feedback, recurring questions, and pain points to the product and engineering teams
Help internal engineers and developer advocates find the right venues to share their work when it's genuinely relevant
Build relationships with technical content creators (YouTubers, bloggers, newsletter writers) who cover the orchestration and data space
What We're Looking For
Technical depth: you understand orchestration, data pipelines, and infrastructure well enough to be taken seriously by senior engineers
Community native: you've built real credibility in developer communities, not just a follower count
Platform fluency: you know how Hacker News, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and Discord each work, and you adapt accordingly
Strong written English: precise, technical, readable; French is a plus
Creator mindset: you can spot an opportunity, write something useful, and ship it the same day
Familiarity with tools like Common Room or social listening platforms is a plus
Hands-on experience with Kestra, Airflow, Vmware or similar tools is a strong bonus
Why This Role Exists
We've done the analysis: Kestra comes up constantly in the conversations developers have when choosing their orchestration stack, and we're rarely part of those conversations. We want to change that by hiring someone who can represent Kestra with technical authority and genuine enthusiasm.
What We Offer
Competitive salary (full-time) or freelance day rate
Fully remote, async-first culture
Real ownership: you'll define and build this function from scratch
Direct collaboration with engineering, product, and marketing teams
The tools and autonomy to experiment and iterate fast
An in-house real-time monitoring tool we've already built that surfaces every relevant mention and conversation across all platforms, so you can focus on engaging rather than hunting for topics
To apply: Send your CV, your online presence, and a short note on which community you'd tackle first for Kestra and how.
