About the job
As a Cloud Developer Programs Engineer (DPE), you stand at the intersection of a technology movement shaping our world - between the people who build it and the customers who use it. Developer Programs Engineers (DPEs) are the engineering wing of Developer Relations. We ensure that Google Cloud and related open source projects like Kubernetes, Beam and TensorFlow are amazing for developers. As "customer zero" we're the first developers to use upcoming services and ensure they meet customer's needs. We provide feedback on API design, platform consistency and functionality. We write sample code and work with our technical writing teams to produce developer documentation, quickstarts and tutorials. We release open source code, participate in developer forums and help troubleshoot developer problems.
As a Cloud Developer Relations Engineer, you will join a team of Practitioners that empathize with external technical communities, and advocate on their behalf to the Google Cloud Product and Engineering teams, ensuring that products are built to meet the community's needs and that they provide the best possible user and developer experiences. You will work to raise awareness of Cloud technologies and methodologies within the technical communities through enablement and inspiration, and you will drive strategy around Google Developer Relations efforts for specific communities and products. You will define product strategies and craft narratives around new products and technologies, both meeting technical practitioners where they are going and get to where they need to be.

- Represent the needs of relevant technical communities throughout the entire product lifecycle, including input on design discussions, customer zero testing, launch, post-launch updates.
- Work with Product and Engineering teams to define product strategies and to craft narratives around new products and features.
