Developer Relations Lead in Berlin

The opportunity

We're looking for DevRel Lead to help bring Restate to more developers. There’s a gap between what Restate can do and what the wider community thinks durable execution is for. This role exists to close it.

Think of the DevRel Lead as part community- and part editorial lead. You’ll grow our community of 10,000+ developers, help shape the direction for everything we publish, and bring sharper instinct to how we launch. You’ll work alongside the Restate founders and early engineers. You bring strategy, distribution, and a sense of what lands.

Why Restate

Durable runtimes are becoming the next foundational infrastructure layer, especially for AI. Restate’s vision is to make durable execution efficient and lightweight to run.

Restate is built by a team of world-class engineers - the creators of Apache Flink, leaders from Meta's messaging infrastructure, and senior engineers from AWS and Confluent.

AI-native companies like Replit as well as Fortune 500 enterprises rely on Restate in production for their core applications.

With a fresh $20M Series A fundraise by top tier investors and strong traction, we’re just getting started and are looking for people who share our vision and work ethos.

What you’ll do

The role lives across three things: getting the right developers to know about Restate (awareness), staying close to the community using it (product & community), and helping them succeed once they do (education). This includes, but is not limited to:

• Set the editorial direction for developer content: blogs, tutorials, sample apps, video, conference talks. Then drive execution of those artifacts.

• Run the launches and public moments: product launches, community highlights, success stories to ensure that Restate is highly relevant in the right conversations

• Grow and animate the community across Slack, Discord, and GitHub. Show up daily where developers are, and surface what they’re struggling with back into the team.

• Partner with Restate’s founders and engineers on on docs, tutorials, and examples.

What we’re looking for

• Someone technical: you don’t have to be an engineer, but you can sit through a design review, follow it, and translate it for a wider audience.

• A real writer: you have a public body of work incl. posts, talks, shipped projects that developers in our space already trust.

• Marketing instinct. You know the difference between a launch that lands and one that doesn’t, and you can run one end-to-end.

• Excited about AI infrastructure and durable execution. You can talk about both in a way that resonates with engineers building systems at scale.

• AI fluency: you naturally leverage AI to amplify your own work. You also understand how AI impacts search patterns and ensure that Restate stays top of mind for humans and agents.

• Happy defining a developer-led motion rather than running someone else’s playbook.

We’re open on background. Strong candidates might have done this work at a developer-led company before, but we’re equally interested in engineers, technical writers, builders from AI infra, backend, or distributed systems whose public work already gives them credibility.

Location and travel

• US-based, fully remote. SF Bay Area strongly preferred given vicinity to AI companies and the broader developer community. Remote US can work for the right person.

• Expect 20 - 30% travel for conferences, meetups, and offsites.
