The Role

The Pantheon Developer Relations Department is offering a full-time position for a Senior Developer Advocate, focused on illustrating professional usage of Next.js on Pantheon

What you need to Succeed: 

Developer Relations at Pantheon works to ensure that teams using the web frameworks we support can build the best possible sites on our platform. To support this mission this role will switch between two modes of working:

While communication skill is the baseline requirement for both of those modes of work, we are looking for candidates who can also execute technical changes.
