Kestra is the modern orchestration platform for data, AI, business, and infrastructure workflows. Infrastructure orchestration is one of our fastest-growing use cases, with teams using Kestra to automate VM lifecycles, server provisioning, Ansible playbooks, Terraform-driven workflows, and the day-to-day operations work that keeps infrastructure running.
We're hiring a Developer Advocate dedicated to this space. You'll work directly with the engineering and product team building Kestra's infrastructure orchestration capabilities, ship content that shows infrastructure teams what's possible, and become Kestra's public voice in this area.
What you will do
Your main output is content: blog posts, walkthroughs, reference architectures, integration guides, and YouTube videos showing how Kestra fits into the rest of an infrastructure stack. The demos you record cover the operations that infrastructure teams run every day, for example VM lifecycle automation, server patching, Ansible playbook orchestration, vSphere / VMware / Proxmox / Nutanix integrations, and Terraform-driven workflows.
You'll build a dedicated Kestra Academy course for the infrastructure audience, covering fundamentals (modeling ops workflows in Kestra) and advanced patterns (long-running approval-gated workflows, multi-cloud provisioning, ITSM integration, ticket-gated execution).
Webinars are a regular part of the role. Conferences are a nice-to-have on top: when a talk gets accepted at an event like HashiConf, AnsibleFest, KubeCon, or FOSDEM, you'd represent Kestra there. We're a small company and CFP acceptance isn't guaranteed, so this is an opportunity when it happens, not a fixed quota.
You'll engage with the infrastructure community in Slack, GitHub, and Reddit, answering questions and bringing feedback back to the product team so it lands on the roadmap. You'll also train our sales and solution engineering teams on infrastructure use cases, and join customer calls when deep technical context helps.
What we're looking for
2+ years working on infrastructure automation - hands-on experience with one or more infrastructure orchestration platforms (for example, vRA, RunDeck, Spacelift, Terraform Cloud, Red Hat AAP / Ansible Tower, Puppet Enterprise, SaltStack Enterprise)
Strong technical depth - you can build and demo non-trivial flows yourself, and you're comfortable in YAML and at least one scripting language (Python, Bash, Go)
Public speaking and presentation skills - comfortable on camera, in webinars, and at conferences
Strong technical writing for an engineer audience - you speak the language of infrastructure engineers using Kestra.
Comfort with self-direction - we're looking for someone who can spot a gap and fill it without waiting for a detailed spec or approval
A clear point of view - opinions about what makes infrastructure automation tools good or bad, and the ability to articulate Kestra's strengths.
Nice to have
A prior Developer Advocate, Solutions Engineer, or technical evangelist role at an infrastructure or DevOps platform vendor
Experience running a YouTube channel or technical podcast
An existing audience in the infrastructure orchestration community.
What you get
Real ownership of Kestra's infrastructure orchestration content and course
Direct exposure to product strategy in an open-core company
A product used for mission-critical workloads
Competitive compensation, equity, and health insurance.
