About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Create technical content that teaches developers how to build with Backblaze B2: tutorials, sample applications, reference architectures, blog posts, and short-form video
Build and publish working code examples and demos — especially for AI/ML workflows (training data pipelines, model artifact storage, inference infrastructure), media workflows, and application storage
Contribute to and improve developer documentation, SDKs, and quickstart guides
Translate what you’re hearing from developers into actionable product feedback for Engineering and Product
Be genuinely present in the developer communities where our users live — social media, Discord, Slack, GitHub, and elsewhere
Represent Backblaze at developer events: speak, demo, show up, and be worth talking to. We attend conferences across AI/ML, media, cloud infrastructure, and startup ecosystems
Build relationships in the AI/ML, media, and cloud infrastructure developer communities that generate inbound awareness for Backblaze
Support Flamethrower startup cohort members in getting to production faster — answer technical questions, sanity-check architectures, and document patterns worth sharing broadly
Work closely with the Director of Startup & Developer Relations, as well as our product team, lifecycle marketing, and product marketing to identify common technical blockers and create content that removes them
Partner with Marketing on ecosystem storytelling, technical blog strategy, and developer-facing content
Maintain a consistent feedback loop from developers to Product — surface friction points, integration gaps, and unmet needs

Requirements

What you’ll need

4–7 years of hands-on experience as a software developer or engineer, with meaningful time working with cloud infrastructure and object storage (S3, B2, GCS, or equivalent)
Direct experience building or integrating AI/ML workflows that involve storage — training data pipelines, model artifact management, inference infrastructure, or similar workloads
You write working code. You may use AI tools to accelerate it — but you understand what you’re shipping and can explain it to another developer
An established presence in developer communities — a social following, conference talks, a technical blog, open source contributions, or some combination. We’re not counting followers; we’re looking for signal that you show up and people pay attention
Strong written communication: you can write a clear technical tutorial and a crisp internal summary with equal ease
Self-directed — you don’t need a content calendar handed to you to know what to build next
