Phusion was founded with the belief that server maintenance shouldn’t be difficult. Over half a million websites worldwide use Passenger to improve web app performance, boost productivity, and maximize security.

We are looking for a passionate and skilled Developer Advocate/Evangelist who can help the Passenger team succeed, ideally at our beautiful Amsterdam office.

What will you do?

As a Developer Advocate/Evangelist, you will be a spokesperson, mediator and translator between Phusion and Phusion's users, namely outside developers. The goal is to build mindshare among users and to help internal teams understand what direction we should go.

Your main tasks are:

• Write engaging content
  Such as blog posts and tutorials.
• Publish interesting side projects
  To attract interest of users towards Phusion.
• Keep up to date with competition and market
  For example by frequently playing with the latest technology.
• Be present on social media
  Participate in discussions and keep people engaged.
• Participate and help with events
  For example by speaking at conferences.
• Help dealing with influencers
  Find new influencers and keep influencers friendly and warm towards us.
• Influence our strategy, future and direction
  Discuss your findings and insights with internal teams, and together let us conquer the world.

This excellent blog post describes in detail the role that we envision.

Besides those tasks, you are also very welcome to help with product development.

Who are we looking for?

The ideal candidate:

• Has great development skills,
  being able to both create and explain software products.
• Has excellent communication skills,
  as you will frequently reach out, listen and distill information.
• Has excellent network skills,
  because you're meant to collect contacts and keep them happy.
• Is experienced in relevant areas,
  namely web development, server management and DevOps.
• Possesses (nearly-)native English proficiency,
  because communications must look professional.
• Is an initiator,
  and can identify, even among the slight chaos that is a startup environment, what to do without being explicitly instructed so.
• Is within reasonable travel distance of Amsterdam,
  because proximity improves teamwork efficiency, and because we like bonding with co-workers.

What does Phusion have to offer you?

• Lunch, drinks and snacks when you’re in the office,
• Flexible work hours and locations,
• Travel allowance for day-to-day and conference travel,
• Relaxed and fun company culture - karaoke and games included.
