Wanna #getfedihired ?
#Grafana always has open positions at https://grafana.com/about/careers/ - we never did layoffs, we never stopped hiring.
We're looking for roughly one #devadvocate per quarter. You get to treat the #community right, work on and with interesting technology, and can work with me
It's fully #remotework, and you get to travel to and speak at as many conferences as you get accepted to
Bonus points if you speak #golang and/or #react
Questions? Feel free to poke
To be clear, I don't get any kickbacks for referrals, I'm too high level for that.
I just want to work with good people, and the crowd around here has a higher than average likelihood of being decent.
Edit: I have received a few private messages about time zones and locations. We can't hire everywhere for "the people team can only deal with so many jurisdictions" reasons, but other than FEDRAMP rules time zones are more a suggestion than a requirement.
@RichiH I'm looking for a change in my career (DevOps/infrastructure). A dev advocate role sounds appealing but could you weigh in on:
1. How does one get a sense of whether this type of work would be a good fit and what it involves?
2. How does one "get into" this type of role? Is it expected that the "ideal candidate" would already have some kind of community presence and/or have created some sort of content?
@garettmd if public speaking, writing docs, recording videos, helping users, or generally supporting people sounds like an interesting mix it's worth a shot.
Community experience is a big plus, but not a hard requirement. Sometimes people pivot, and we know not everyone had the chance to work on this before.
@kouhai what state? No specific info yet, but https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/2019-03/transgender-coverage-issue-brief.pdf we have a baseline at least.
Might be until after the weekend
@kouhai someone who is happy to have a conversation about details with you (they don't have mastodon, but I can relay email or so) told me:
> it's been good. We use Aetna, which is a common insurance and, while I had surgery previous to working at Grafana, I was on Aetna at previous jobs and things were covered (I think I ended up having to pay somewhere between $150-$500 out of pocket, but that's much cheaper than the full cost for sure)
