Developer Advocate

to join our growing team and lead community engagement for Akuity with discussions on Argo CD and Kargo. This person will connect with our developer community, champion their needs, and share our technology in authentic, engaging ways. You’ll create high-quality technical content, speak at industry events, and help drive adoption by building trust with developers.

This is a highly visible, community-facing role ideal for someone with hands-on technical experience (e.g., Platform Engineering, SRE, or DevOps) who thrives in startup environments and has a passion for developer advocacy and enablement.

Act as a subject matter expert (SME) on Argo CD and Kargo, staying closely aligned with open-source community discussions and the development roadmap.

With the move to the cloud, Kubernetes has become widely adopted by DevOps and Platform Engineering teams, but it has also added complexity. While scaling Kubernetes at Intuit, the Akuity founders started building Argo CD in order to streamline the adoption of Kubernetes. Argo CD helps developers own, understand and deploy their K8s deployments via GitOps.

Today, Argo CD is the third most popular project in the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) and is used by 70% of companies who are using Kubernetes in production. The list of Argo CD users includes companies like Intuit, BlackRock, Tesla, Major League Baseball, Peloton, and many more.

The team founded Akuity in 2021 to enable enterprises to ship software faster and more reliably with modern GitOps best practices. The Akuity Platform enables teams to manage the development and deployment across hundreds – if not thousands – of Kubernetes clusters from a single control plane. Trusted by top companies around the globe, the Akuity Platform provides the only end-to-end GitOps platform for the enterprises.

Our mission is to simplify the software delivery process so that DevOps and Platform Engineering teams can move fast, and deploy code effortlessly without the fear of breaking things.
