Principal PMM: Developer Advocacy & Technology Marketing

Fastly • San Francisco, NY

8d • Hybrid

About The Position

Fastly's edge cloud platform sits at the intersection of performance, security, and modern application development. We're building a team to tell that story better than anyone. This is a new lead role within Developer Marketing, and it's designed for someone who has spent a career at the crossroads of engineering and communication. You'll spend your time doing three things: creating best-in-class technical content that helps developers understand what's possible on Fastly's platform, partnering across product, engineering, and customer teams to build reference architectures and working prototypes that demonstrate real-world value, and developing enablement resources that help practitioners go from zero to productive faster. This isn't a role where you hand off work to a writer or an engineer -- you do both.

Requirements

• 5+ years working at the intersection of software engineering and technical communication, with meaningful time in developer relations, solutions engineering, or technical product marketing at a platform or infrastructure company.
• Hands-on experience with complex enterprise implementations. You know what "production-grade" means, and you can guide customers to that standard.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; you can write a compelling blog post and a working config in the same afternoon
• Demonstrated ability to work independently in ambiguous environments.
• Hands-on experience with technologies like CDN, networking, edge computing, security tooling (WAF, DDoS, bot mitigation), or API infrastructure
• Comfortable across common developer/devops ecosystems and able to meet engineers where they are.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with AI/ML integration patterns and modern application architectures is a plus

Responsibilities

• Technical Content and Thought Leadership: You'll produce authoritative public-facing content across formats: deep-dive technical tutorials, architecture guides, blog posts, demos, and video walkthroughs. Content should do more than explain features; it should advance how engineers think about edge computing, performance, and security infrastructure. You'll own the editorial bar for technical accuracy and practical relevance.
• Reference Architectures and Prototyping: Working closely with Fastly's product, solutions, and engineering teams, as well as select customer partners, you'll design and build reference architectures that demonstrate how Fastly's platform solves complex, real-world problems. These artifacts become proof points, go-to-market assets, and the foundation for new developer use cases.
• Enablement and Education: You'll partner with customer engineering and solutions teams to understand where practitioners get stuck and build content that closes those gaps.

Benefits

• We care about you. Fastly works hard to create a positive environment for our employees, and we think your life outside of work is important too. We support our teams with great benefits that start on the first day of your employment with Fastly. Curious about our offerings? We offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Family planning, mental health support along with Employee Assistance Program, Insurance (Life, Disability, and Accident), a Flexible Vacation policy and up to 18 days of accrued paid sick leave are there to help support our employees.
• We also offer 401(k) (including company match) and an Employee Stock Purchase Program.
• For 2026, we offer 12 paid local holidays, 12 paid company wellness days.
