What are the responsibilities and job description for the Developer Relations Advocate position at Blacksmith?
Overview
At Blacksmith, we provide cloud infra to help companies run their CI (GitHub Actions) substantially faster and cheaper. Our mission is to build a CI cloud. Our bet is that CI, as a class of workloads, is ready to be unbundled from the hyperscaler clouds (AWS/GCP/Azure). This is a bold statement, and we have an ambitious roadmap ahead.
