Developer Relations Engineer Intern

At Starburst, we are working to dismantle the status quo of data silos and vendor lock-in every single day. For decades, database companies have held their customers hostage and we believe that's just plain wrong. Starburst offers a full-featured data lake analytics platform, built on open source Trino. Our platform includes all the capabilities needed to discover, organize, and consume data without the need for time-consuming and costly migration projects. Today more than 300 leading organizations trust us to make better decisions faster. 

Though Starburst has raised $414M in venture funding from top investors, we were founded in a rather unusual way as we bootstrapped the business with customers and revenue from the very beginning! We are a remote-first company with employees all over the world and are proud to be named a Best Place to Work. Come join our team of All-Stars!

Starburst's platform is built on Trino, and open source project, and developers are a key part of our success.  The Developer Relations team aims to make developers successful in their usage of Trino and Starburst by fostering and enabling a thriving community. As part of Developer Relations, you will be involved in a wide variety of activities that touch on functions like marketing, engineering, product, and more. Make sure to bring your creativity and personality as we work to build an engaged and successful community!

As a Developer Engineer Intern at Starburst you will:

• Monitor and engage with developers in the Trino and Starburst communities and forums.
• Create blog content highlighting events, use cases, and/or anything that developers may find useful or informative in growing their skills and knowledge.
• Be an ambassador for developers to the outside community and within Starburst, advocating for their needs and interests.
• Help to manage the Trino open source project by evaluating issues and PRs, updating and maintaining documentation, and other forms of maintenance.
• Build tutorials and/or create videos that highlight important use cases and features.

Some of the things we look for:

• Must be a rising senior or a recent graduate
• This is a technical role so coding experience is necessary, preferably with Java or Python.  Javascript and Typescript would also be sufficient.
• Documentation and writing skills. It's not required that your writing style is entertaining, but you should be able to explain (often complex) concepts in a way that is easy for developers to understand.
• Interest and passion for tech and developers. This will enable you to engage and strategize in the industry at large.
• General knowledge of data concepts.
• Good communication skills and a welcoming demeanor.
