社区与社交协调员
Community & Social Coordinator
Percona 正在寻找一位能够主导我们在社交和内容渠道中的技术声音的人——一位会因为阅读 MySQL、PostgreSQL 或 MongoDB 的变更日志而感到兴奋，能将工程师的 Slack 消息转化为开发者真正会停下滚动的帖子，并且以内容策略而非内容日历来思考的人。
这个职位位于工程部门，而非市场部。你将与实际进行数据库工作的人员紧密合作，参与相同的站会和设计讨论，因为内容就来源于此。这不是一个活动角色，也不是一个“将工程内容翻译给业务方”的角色——这是一个需要足够技术可信度，能被工程师视为同僚的人，同时负责将这些工作传达给世界。
你将负责的工作
社交与内容策略（核心职责）
- 全权负责社交媒体策略的全流程：渠道优先级、内容支柱、语气、发布频率以及成功如何衡量——不仅仅是执行他人交给你的计划。
- 将真实的工程工作（补丁、RFC、性能基准测试、事故复盘、上游贡献）转化为开发者和 DBA 真正重视的内容。包括话题线、技术解析、短视频、dev.to/博客跨平台发布等。
- 建立可重复的内容来源系统，直接从正在进行的工程工作中获取内容。例如发布周期、RFC 讨论、值班回顾等，而不是依赖临时请求。
- 使用 AI 辅助工具进行创作（视频、撰写、再利用），同时不失去技术准确性或真实性。
- 定义并跟踪对技术受众真正重要的指标（有参与度的开发者，而不仅仅是曝光量），并报告哪些内容有效。
嵌入式技术可信度
- 与工程团队保持足够近的距离，真正理解正在发布的功能及其原因。作为常规参与者，而非偶尔的观察者，参加相关的站会、冲刺评审或设计讨论。
- 真正精通开源数据库工程的对话。MySQL、PostgreSQL、MongoDB 内部机制、复制、性能调优等。足以对工程师进行访谈，发现技术错误，并提出合适的问题。
- 真诚地参与你所写作的目标社区（论坛、Slack/Discord、GitHub 讨论）。这是内容来源和可信度，而不是一份额外的工作。
- 当工程师的初稿解释存在技术上的疏漏或无法引起听众共鸣时，要敢于提出反对意见。

Percona is looking for someone who can own our technical voice across social and content channels - someone who reads a MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB changelog for fun, can turn an engineer's Slack message into a post developers actually stop scrolling for, and thinks in terms of a content strategy rather than a content calendar.
This role sits inside Engineering, not Marketing. You'll be embedded with the people doing the actual database work, sitting in on the same standups and design discussions, because that's where the content comes from. This isn't an events role, and it isn't a "translate engineering for the business" role either - it's for someone credible enough to be treated as a peer by engineers, who happens to also own how that work gets told to the world.
What You Will Do
Social & Content Strategy (the core of the role)
- Own the social media strategy end to end: channel priorities, content pillars, voice, cadence, and how success is measured - not just execution of a plan handed to you.
- Translate real engineering work (patches, RFCs, performance benchmarks, incident postmortems, contributions upstream) into content developers and DBAs actually value. Threads, technical breakdowns, short-form video, dev.to/blog cross-posts.
- Build a repeatable system for sourcing content directly from engineering work in flight. Release cycles, RFC discussions, on-call retros etc. rather than depending on ad hoc asks.
- Use AI-assisted tools for production (video, drafting, repurposing) without losing technical accuracy or authenticity.
- Define and track the metrics that actually matter for a technical audience (engaged developers, not just impressions) and report on what's working.
Embedded Technical Credibility
- Sit close enough to engineering to actually understand what's shipping and why. Attend the relevant standups, sprint reviews, or design discussions as a regular participant, not an occasional observer.
- Be genuinely fluent in open source database engineering conversations. MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB internals, replication, performance tuning, or similar. Enough to interview an engineer, catch a technical inaccuracy, and ask the right follow-up questions.
- Participate authentically in the communities you're writing for (forums, Slack/Discord, GitHub discussions). This is source material and credibility, not a separate job.
- Push back on engineers' first drafts of an explanation when it's technically sloppy or won't land with the audience, and earn the trust to do that.
Community Signal, Not Community Ops
- Monitor community sentiment and conversation on social and community channels to inform what content to make next.
- Amplify contributor and community voices as part of the content strategy.
- Light moderation/engagement on owned channels as needed - this is in service of content and strategy, not a standalone community-management function.
What's Explicitly Out of Scope
This role does not own event logistics, on-site conference representation, swag/booth coordination, or contributor/ambassador program administration. Some occasional travel for content capture (e.g., filming at a conference Percona is already attending) may come up, but travel is not a core expectation.
What You Have Done
· A demonstrated ability to go deep on technical subject matter - you don't need to ship production code, but you need to understand database/open-source engineering concepts well enough to write about them accurately, defend that accuracy to an engineer, and be trusted in an engineering room.
- A portfolio or track record of technical content (blog, social, video) aimed at developers or infrastructure/ops audiences.
- Experience owning a social strategy, not just executing one. From channel selection and content planning, to measurement.
- Real, active participation in open source or developer communities.
- Strong short-form video creation skills, including on-camera presence.
- Excellent technical writing. Ability to accurately summarize something like a query optimizer change or a replication failure mode for a technical audience.
- Comfortable working directly with engineers as primary sources, day to day, as part of the team rather than a periodic interviewer.
What Will Make You Stand Out
- Hands-on experience with MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB (as a user, DBA, or contributor).
- A history of contributing to open source projects (code, docs, or community).
- Prior experience embedded in or adjacent to an engineering team (DevRel, technical writing, or similar) rather than in a pure marketing/comms function.
- Experience building a technical brand's presence from a smaller base i.e., you've done this from scratch, not just maintained an existing machine.
