What You Will Do
- Create technical content: Tutorials, deep-dive blog posts, reference guides, video walkthroughs, and demos. Content that actually solves a named problem, not surface-level "getting started" filler.
- Speak in public: Conference talks, webinars, meetups, podcasts, livestreams. Audiences from ten people in a room to several hundred online. We'll back you to build a speaking presence if you don't already have one.
- Engage upstream: Show up in the communities behind the open source projects Percona builds on — MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Valkey, Kubernetes, and others. Contribute, answer questions, file good bug reports, and represent Percona as a credible technical voice.
- Engage with the Percona community: Be active on the Percona Forum, Discord, GitHub, social platforms, and at Percona events. Welcome new contributors. Recognize active ones. Help people find the next rung on the ladder.
- Cover Percona's open source portfolio: Percona Server for MySQL, Percona Server for MongoDB (PSMDB), Percona Server for PostgreSQL, Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC), Percona XtraBackup, Percona Backup for MongoDB (PBM), Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), and Percona Operators. You don't need to be an expert in all of these on day one. You do need to be willing to become one.
- Close the feedback loop: What you hear in the field — pain points, missing docs, confusing UX, feature requests — gets back to Product and Engineering in a form they can act on.
- Partner across teams: Work with Marketing, Product, Engineering, and Support so the technical story stays accurate and useful.
What You Have Done
Real technical depth: Several years in a hands-on technical role — engineering, DBA, SRE, solutions architecture, developer advocacy, or similar. You've worked with databases in production, or you've worked with the developers who do.
Strong writing: You can take a messy technical topic and turn it into something a tired engineer can actually follow at 11pm on a Tuesday.
Public speaking — or the appetite to grow into it: A track record of talks, workshops, or a strong technical blog or YouTube channel is great. If you're earlier in that journey, show us you want to build it.
