At Timescale, we empower businesses with real-time insights from their data, allowing them to make faster decisions and optimize operations. We are creating a movement to unblock developers who are building the future. Timescale is a product-led growth organization driven by transparent leaders and a globally diverse, remote-first team that is proudly building a modern PostgreSQL cloud platform.
Timescale is looking for a
Developer Advocate to represent our products in technical communities around the world. A Developer Advocate is a developer’s best friend. We are engineers with experience building the kinds of systems we advocate for. We are leaders and earnest participants in the developer community. We care deeply about inclusion and providing a positive experience for all developers everywhere we go.
This role will focus on Timescale pgvector, a powerful extension for PostgreSQL that allows for efficient similarity search using vector data. In this role, you’ll build amazing online content (articles, videos, blog posts) for Timescale and third-party developer sites and publications. You will create content and provide guidance on how to leverage pgvector for advanced data processing and analysis.
Note: Although Timescale is primarily a remote organization, we have a strong preference for candidates located in SF or NYC.
What You Will Be Responsible For In This Role
- Create content, videos, and samples from beginner to best practices demonstrating how to develop and work with Timescale, Postgres, and time-series data.
- Create benchmarking content that zooms out to focus on the big picture, comparing more than just raw performance.
- Identify external advocates and community leaders and support them as they discuss Timescale and time-series data independently of us.
- Collect and summarize customer feedback and relay it effectively to the product team.
- Use data, experiments, and customer feedback to drive Timescale adoption.
You Could Be a Great Fit If

- You bring relevant industry experience with the types of data used with Timescale.
- You've worked with developers, whether as an advocate, evangelist, developer, or solutions architect.
- You're familiar with 3rd-party communities, social media, and blogging, and can leverage these platforms effectively.
- You understand the evolving landscape of content consumption and sharing, and are quick to adapt.
You Might Not Be a Great Fit If
- You lack interest in AI, machine learning, or PostgreSQL, which are critical to our product and developer community.
- You’re uncomfortable creating and presenting technical content related to data management and analysis.
- You prefer a highly structured environment and struggle with self-management or prioritizing your own initiatives.
- You have limited experience working with developers or engaging with technical communities.
Our Commitment
