At ngrok, we believe that doing networking the right way should also be the easy way. Over the last 10 years, we’ve given developers and engineers simple interfaces for getting traffic into their apps and APIs without forcing them to deal with legacy proxies, external load balancers, or VPNs, and we’re now part of the standard stack for more than 9 million developers at some of the world’s top technology brands, like GitHub, Okta, HashiCorp, and Twilio.
Over the last few years, we’ve completely changed how that interface looks and works to make it easier, more composable, and infinitely flexible. We now give anyone who needs a “front door” to their apps or APIs powerful tools to orchestrate traffic, secure public endpoints, accelerate their services on a global network, observe all traffic passing to/from their network, and much more. The ngrok that millions love and trust has been completely transformed for the better.
- We value content that’s authentic and gives back more than it takes from readers.
- DevRel and go-to-market is ngrok’s marketing. We guide messaging, strategy, and tactics across all channels to maintain authenticity and a technical foundation everywhere ngrok shows up.
- Employees are supported on journeys to becoming resident experts—and even key public figures—on facets of our industry, our product, or the problems our users face in their day-to-day working lives.
- Everyone has the autonomy to choose projects, design strategies, and execute them based on their impact on our single company-wide KPI: the adoption of Traffic Policy.

- Guiding our content calendar with your knowledge, expertise, and opinions.
- Working with our product team to transform new features into product launches that sing.

- Identifying, pitching, and executing on content “side quests” based on the combination of 1. what you’re most passionate about, and 2. what makes the biggest impact on education and adoption of Traffic Policy.
You won’t spend your time:
- Writing content exclusively for SEO or citation in AI results. We use these tools to inform and optimize, not guide or dictate, our content.
- Trying to ship X pieces/week—we work on broader themed timelines and with bigger goals against company-wide KPIs that prioritize impact over cadence.
- Likewise, worrying about vanity metrics like page views.
- You can communicate technical concepts with an authenticity that resonates with an audience of DevOps and platform engineers.
- Software development experience, either in a former role or having built apps, APIs, or websites as a hobbyist.
- Bright ideas hard-earned from any other type of content creation, like videos, livestreams, diagrams/animations (think Sam Rose or Josh Comeau!), and beyond.
- A love of writing and a style you confidently claim as your own.
Bonus points for having:
- Direct experience with either API gateways, ingress providers, or Kubernetes networking.
- Background in supporting product-led growth (PLG) and working within or in close collaboration with a GTM team.
- Spoken publicly, whether that’s a conference talk or a livestream demo.
- An active ngrok account!
