Senior Developer Relations & Enablement Engineer
Istari
We're looking for a Developer Relations & Content Engineer to be the creative and technical bridge between the Istari platform and the developers building on top of it.
This is primarily a content creation role — not a core engineering role. The right person is someone who loves building things and communicates about them exceptionally well. You'll produce high-quality documentation, engaging video tutorials, blog posts, and integration guides that help developers unlock the full power of the Istari platform through our Python client SDK and integration SDK.
You'll be working in greenfield territory. This is a rare opportunity to define the developer content strategy from the ground up — deciding what gets made, in what format, and to what standard.
Key Responsibilities
Produce professional-quality short-form video tutorials demonstrating real developer workflows — automation scripts, SDK usage, custom integrations, and job orchestration patterns
Write developer-focused blog posts, how-to guides, and design pattern documentation that go beyond "where to click" to explain how to achieve goals with the platform
Create and maintain SDK reference documentation, sample code, and integration walkthroughs
Define and select the right content format (video, doc, blog, live demo) for each concept or use case
Represent Istari at developer events, hackathons, and community forums
Build relationships with developers creating custom workflows and integrations using the Istari Python client and integration SDK
Interview customers and internal Customer Success teams to surface real-world use cases, pain points, and workflows worth documenting
Develop a working knowledge of how customers use the platform: uploading files, running jobs, automating workflows programmatically with Python, and building custom connectors via the integration SDK
Translate complex distributed platform concepts (agents, connectors, data pipelines, artifact derivation) into accessible, practical content for developer audiences
Content Creation (Primary)
Developer Community & Evangelism
Platform Understanding
Required Qualifications
A portfolio of developer-facing content you've produced: videos on YouTube/similar, technical blog posts, documentation, or tutorials. We will review your work. This is the most important requirement.
Professional video production skills — you know how to shoot, light, record audio, and edit video to a broadcast-quality standard. We can't train this; you need to own it.
Working Python proficiency, especially around SDKs, scripting, and automation. You don't need to be a software engineer — you need to be able to write, run, and explain Python code confidently.
Customer curiosity — a genuine drive to understand what developers are trying to accomplish, not just how the product works in isolation
Strong written communication skills; able to explain technical concepts clearly for a developer audience
- Experience with data platforms, integration platforms, or distributed systems
Familiarity with digital engineering concepts (CAD, CFD, simulation, model-based engineering)
Background in developer advocacy, technical writing, or developer marketing
Experience at or familiarity with companies serving developer communities (e.g., GitHub, developer tools startups, SDK-focused companies)
Essential — Must Have:
Nice to Have (We Can Teach the Rest):
What Success Looks Like (first 3-6 months)
In your first 90 days, you'll interview customers and CS teammates to map the most valuable developer workflows, and ship your first video and written content series.
Within six months, you'll have established a recognizable content cadence and a library of high-quality assets that developers actually use when building on the Istari platform.
