Developer Relations Intern

We’re hiring a Developer Relations Intern to help grow and engage Soda’s technical community.

• Triage issues, gather feedback, and bring it back to the team
• Present in community calls, webinars, and conferences
• Collaborate with product and engineering to improve the developer experience
• Help grow and nurture our open-source contributor base
