Responsibilities

• Technical Content Creation: Research, write, and publish technical content — blog posts, tutorials, benchmarks, competitive comparisons, and solution briefs — that demonstrates product depth and drives awareness and adoption among engineers and technical buyers.
• Developer Evangelism & Speaking: Represent PhoenixAI and StarRocks to technical audiences — deliver webinars, speak at meetups and industry conferences, and present live product demos to prospects and at events.
• Demos & Sample Code: Build and maintain product demos, sample applications, and short-form video content that showcase the Agentic Database in realistic scenarios; keep them current as the product evolves.
• Community Engagement: Engage directly with users in the StarRocks community channels, answer technical questions, surface recurring themes, and help grow an active, well-informed developer community around the open-source project.
• Sales Enablement: Build and deliver technical enablement for Sales and Solutions — pitch decks, battlecards, demo scripts, and FAQs — plus regular training sessions, new-hire onboarding, and competitive briefings that keep the field sharp on product and market.
• Product Launches & Competitive Intelligence: Support product and feature launches with launch content, demos, and enablement; track competitors such as ClickHouse, Snowflake, and Trino and turn what you learn into differentiated messaging, comparisons, and objection handling.
• Messaging & Feedback Loop: Contribute to PhoenixAI's positioning and messaging across the open-source (StarRocks) and commercial offerings, and bring signals from the community, customers, and sales back to product and marketing to sharpen the narrative.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with product management, engineering, sales, and marketing to keep content, demos, and enablement accurate, current, and grounded in real product capabilities.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or another STEM field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, developer relations, technical product marketing, or a related technical role — ideally at a B2B data infrastructure or AI startup.
• Hands-on software development experience; proficient in SQL and comfortable building and presenting live product demos.
• Strong technical foundation in databases, distributed systems, or lakehouse architectures; able to hold your own in technical conversations with engineers and technical buyers.
• Strong writer who can produce clear, accurate technical content — from blog posts to tutorials to battlecards — with coaching on positioning and voice.
• Confident presenter, comfortable delivering technical talks, webinars, and demos live and fielding questions from engineers.
• Curious, high-energy, and eager to learn; thrives in a fast-moving, low-process startup environment and enjoys working across teams.
