Who we are?

Come and join us at Redis, where our success and diverse global culture make us the ideal choice for your next career move.  We're a double unicorn and growing fast, so this is a great time to join! When you join us, this will be a journey where you will enjoy success, learn new skills, and make new friends.

Why Redis?

Data is the lifeline of every business, and Redis helps organizations reimagine how fast they can process, analyze, make predictions, and take action on the data they generate. Redis provides a competitive edge to more than 8,000 global businesses with Redis Enterprise. We have major strategic partnerships with cloud vendors Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. We're a unicorn company with a valuation of more than $2 billion and have raised more than $347 million in funding. We're growing fast and expanding our team across the globe. 

Why would you love this job?

We're a team of technologists who love to teach, and we're looking for a full-time Developer Advocate for Python to join us in our mission to inspire developers to write software that's simple, correct, and fast.

As the Python expert on the developer advocacy team, you'll create engaging instructional content for developers and share it with the world. This can mean speaking at conferences (virtually, until it's safe to travel!), creating videos, writing guides, and live streaming. You'll be an advocate for open source Redis Redis beyond caching (JSON, Search, TimeSeries),  and Redis Cloud.  In addition, you'll help improve the Redis developer experience by contributing to client libraries and documentation.

Our ideal candidate enjoys interacting with the developer community and meeting new people. Listening to the needs of developers is key, as is acting as a conduit between developers and our product and engineering teams.

We're looking for someone who loves code and communication, knows how to empathize with software developers and get them excited about technology, and has an interest in the NoSQL database space. If this sounds compelling, we'd love to hear from you!

What you’ll do:

  • Teach Python developers how to be successful with Redis, the Redis modules, and Redis Cloud
  • Develop working sample applications and code using Redis from Python, and create teaching materials based on these examples
  • Act as a core maintainer for a major open source Redis client project for Python
  • Become an expert in the Python client ecosystem for Redis (and contribute when possible)
  • Be willing to speak at conferences (virtually and in person once that's safe), create videos, live-stream and, in general, find ways to reach, educate, and inspire the Python developer community

What will you need to have?

  • 3-5 years of experience writing software in Python
  • Excellent understanding of the Python language, and the associated developer communities, including tools, cloud services, and best practices 
  • Excellent presentation skills
  • Excellent writing skills, with experience authoring technical articles or blog posts
  • Knowledge of and experience using NoSQL databases
  • A Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience

Extra great if you have:

  • Experience with Redis
  • Understanding of full-text search, time series data, or graph databases
  • Full-stack development experience
  • Ability to read and understand code written in C
  • Knowledge of AI / ML / Data science
  • Experience with DevOps and operations

Interview Process:

  • The interview process consists of 1:1 video interviews with the hiring manager, a peer and a cross-functional interview followed by a small take home assignment delivered as a presentation to the devrel team

We give back to our employees:

Our culture is what makes Redis a fun and rewarding place to work. To support you at work and beyond, we offer all our US team members fantastic benefits and perks:

  • Competitive salaries and equity grants
