JobOverview
Were looking for a Dev Events Specialist to plan coordinate and execute the events and community programs that bring Buildkite into the rooms that matter. Youll own the logistics and on-the-ground experience for user conferences community meetups workshops and sponsored event presences creating moments that engage and excite engineers in attendance.
This is a hands-on logistics-first role. Youll manage the full event lifecycle from venue sourcing and vendor management through to day-of execution working closely with our GTM and Brand teams to keep everything running smoothly and on-brand. You dont need to be a coder but you do need to understand how software teams work and what good looks like in the SaaS and DevTools space.
