[Hiring] Developer Relations Engineer @Prefect

Role Description

We're hiring a Developer Relations Engineer reporting to our Chief Growth Officer. You own how developers learn to build with Prefect, Dagster, FastMCP, and Horizon. That means:

• Reference implementations people copy into production
• Technical content (including video)
• Docs and DX gaps you find by being your own first user
• A public presence on stage, on stream, and in issue threads

Our Agentic platform is becoming how enterprises govern all their agent workflows, including:

• Who can reach which MCP servers
• What data flows through them
• How usage gets audited
• How policy gets enforced

This is a generalist role by design. You'll write Python, appear on camera, review docs PRs, and file the bug you just hit, often in the same day.

Time zones: Anywhere in the continental US. We're remote-first. Expect travel for events and a few days a quarter in our recording studio. We have a slight preference for candidates near New York or the Bay Area, but it isn't a requirement.

Qualifications

• 6+ years writing software professionally, strong Python desirable
• A public body of technical work we can go read: repos, posts, docs, talks, or videos developers used
• Experience building things with LLMs and agents (MCP servers, tool calling, agent frameworks, retrieval)
• Good on camera and on stage, or the potential to be
• Ability to run as a team of one

Requirements

• Maintain or substantially contribute to a popular open-source project (nice to have)
• An existing developer audience: YouTube, X, Twitch, a newsletter, etc. (nice to have)
• Data engineering or orchestration background: Prefect, Dagster, Airflow, dbt (nice to have)
• Ability to hold a conversation with a platform or security engineer about SSO, RBAC, audit logs, and PII (nice to have)

Benefits

• Base Salary Ranges:
• San Francisco Bay Area & NYC Metro: $165,000–$219,000
• Washington D.C., Boston, LA Metro, Seattle: $150,000–$194,000
• Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, & all other U.S. metros: $149,000–$193,000
• Remote-first team with flexible-first culture
• Equity Stock Options
• 401(k) with 5% company match (vests immediately!)
• Unlimited PTO
• Medical, Dental and Vision insurance
• Generous Parental Leave
• Life Insurance and Disability benefits
• $800/month remote work stipend
