Create technical content: Tutorials, deep-dive blog posts, reference guides, video walkthroughs, and demos that solve named problems.
Speak in public: Deliver conference talks, webinars, meetups, podcasts, and livestreams to audiences ranging from ten to several hundred.
Engage upstream: Participate in open source communities behind MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Valkey, Kubernetes, and others by contributing, answering questions, filing bug reports, and representing Percona as a credible technical voice.
Engage with the Percona community: Be active on the Percona Forum, Discord, GitHub, social platforms, and at Percona events; welcome new contributors; recognize active ones; help people find the next rung on the ladder.
Cover Percona's open source portfolio: Percona Server for MySQL, Percona Server for MongoDB (PSMDB), Percona Server for PostgreSQL, Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC), Percona XtraBackup, Percona Backup for MongoDB (PBM), Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), and Percona Operators.
Close the feedback loop: Relay field insights — pain points, missing docs, confusing UX, feature requests — to Product and Engineering in an actionable form.
Partner across teams: Work with Marketing, Product, Engineering, and Support to ensure the technical story remains accurate and useful.

Several years in a hands-on technical role — engineering, DBA, SRE, solutions architecture, developer advocacy, or similar.
Real production experience working with databases or working with developers who do.
Strong writing skills to explain complex technical topics clearly and accessibly.
Comfortable coding in at least one of Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or Rust, sufficient to write demos, build sample apps, and read source code.
Understanding of how open source communities work and the ability to participate authentically rather than market to them.
Willingness to travel approximately 10–50%, depending on event calendar and project needs.

Existing contributions to open source projects, especially in the database, observability, or Kubernetes ecosystems.
Experience with AI/ML workloads on databases — vector search, RAG, embeddings at scale.
A presence in developer communities people already recognize — such as a blog with regular readers, a YouTube channel, conference talks, or an active GitHub.
Experience building or running developer programs, community events, or contributor onboarding.
