About The Job

Passionate people are everywhere at Google. In Developer Relations, we get excited to collaborate and connect with the communities that love technology as much as we do. Part community manager and part developer advocate, Developer Programs Engineers collaborate with developers at conferences and online, and advocate for developers interests internally at Google. Not afraid to be hands-on, you write sample code and client libraries as well as participate in developer forums and support queues to troubleshoot and debug coding problems developers encounter. Internally, you work with product engineering teams improve our products by conveying feedback from developers, reviewing API designs and testing new features. Chrome, Android, App Engine, HTML5 as well as our core Google Apps and Ads APIs are just some of the platforms you promote and support.

With your technical expertise, you drive strategy around fostering a community of developers who work with Google technologies. An ardent advocate for these developers, you represent their voice internally to our Product Managers and serve as their Google support in application development and technology implementation.

In this role, you’ll work cross-functionally with software engineers, product managers, tech writers, and other teams to research and address the challenges faced by developers when building for the web platform, and craft the narrative for Google’s events for web developers.

You’ll interface with the community to understand their needs, designing and creating ecosystem intelligence reports that help with understanding the state of the ecosystem.

Responsibilities

  • Engage with the ecosystem and understand main challenges faced by developers, and understand their view about the ecosystem.
  • Analyze datasets and build dashboards that highlight changes to the ecosystem.
  • Work with Engineering and Product teams to address those challenges across Chrome’s development process and roadmaps.
  • Work with tech writers and other developer relations engineers to help align content to the overall product narrative.
  • Plan the narrative for events, like Google I/O, and work across teams to align content that talks to the narrative.
