Senior DevRel Engineer - Product

For this role, you will:

• Implement programs to gather developer feedback and then exercise discretion on how to best communicate to those users
• Build and refine product adoption loops through content, improvements to the product, and nurturing community
• Assist the team on initiatives around our Open Source presence such as our CLI, Nixpacks, and Templates
• Craft resources that help grow the developer ecosystem and ensure that the experience for new and existing users is as seamless as possible

About you

• A strong ability to communicate clearly, whether it's via writing, video, or practical projects incorporating Railway
• A enthusiast about our product, Railway uses Railway to build Railway. (Say that 5 times fast) You should be able to share insights with developers of all stripes to let them know how our product can help them
• A great sense of direction and prioritization when it comes to dealing with the ambiguity of an early stage startup
• Someone who is comfortable in a few different languages/stacks and can create educational content on how to deploy those projects on a public cloud (the status quo) or Railway (the thing we hope to be better than the status quo)
• Able to take really technical concepts and make it as easy to understand as possible

We value and love to work with diverse persons from all backgrounds

Things to Know

For better or worse, we're a startup; our team dynamics are different from companies of different sizes and stages.

• We're globally distributed—and getting more so. Stuff is always happening somewhere.
• We don't expect you to be online all the time, but you'll need to be diligent about your boundaries — your end of day will overlap with someone else's start.
• We're a small, high-ownership team that cares deeply about doing exceptional work. We're scaling quickly, which means we rely on leverage—systems over coordination, judgment over process. Expect ambiguity and a fast-moving environment.
• You'll own real outcomes. That means making decisions, not just executing—and owning the success, or failure, that comes with them.

At Railway, we provide best in class benefits.

Great salary, full health benefits including dependents, strong equity grants, equipment stipend, and much more.

Beyond compensation, there are a few things that we believe that make working at Railway truly unique:

• Autonomy : We have very few meetings. Just a Monday and a Friday to go over the Company Board. We think your time is sacred, whether it's at work, or outside of work.
• Ownership : We're a company with a high ownership, high autonomy culture. We hope that you'll come in, help us, and over the course of many years do the best work of your life. When we bring you onboard, we expect you to change the company.
• Novel problems/solutions : We're a startup that's well funded, with cool problems, which lets us implement novel solutions! We abhor “busywork” and think, whether it's community, engineering, operations, etc there's always opportunity for creative and high leverage solutions.
• Growth : We want you to grow with us, but we know that talent is loaned, so when you figure out what area you want to grow in next, whether it's at Railway or outside, we'll make sure you land there.

No tricks.

No surprises.

Here's the entire process.
