About Backblaze
Backblaze is the object storage leader in the open cloud movement, fueling customer success with cloud storage built purposefully to unlock budgets, unburden administrators, and unleash innovators. Together with our partners, we’re helping customers break free from the restrictive, overpriced legacy solutions that hold them back, and blaze forward with the full power of the open cloud in their hands.
Founded in 2007, we scaled the business with less than $3 million in outside funding until 2021, when we did a traditional IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Today, Backblaze generates over $100m in revenue and is the leading specialized storage cloud - managing over three billion gigabytes of data storage for 500K+ customers in 175+ countries, including businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals.
But while there is a lot to celebrate in our past, there is almost as much opportunity ahead of us. We’re seeking a Developer Advocate to join our team!
About The Role
This is a ground-floor developer relations role at a company that is serious about building a DevRel function — not just checking a box. You’ll be the technical voice of Backblaze: creating content, showing up at events, and helping developers understand how to build with Backblaze B2 in the workloads they’re actually running — AI pipelines, media workflows, and data-intensive infrastructure.
You’ll work directly with our Director of Startup & Developer Relations and alongside the Flamethrower Startup Program — Backblaze’s initiative to become the storage layer of choice for early-stage companies. You’ll have support from our product, content, documentation and other teams, as well as consulting budget for structural and strategic scaffolding as we build this out. Your job is to be technically credible, well-connected, and visible.
The right person for this role has been doing this work informally — writing technical content, showing up at conferences, building a following in developer communities — and is ready to make it the job. Or they’ve been doing it formally at the mid-level and want to step up on impact without stepping into program leadership yet.
