Buildkite's CI platform is trusted by the world's leading engineering teams, helping ship software used by more than 1 billion people every day. Companies including Canva, Meta, Mistral AI, and NVIDIA rely on Buildkite to run builds, tests, and deployments on their infrastructure, ours, or both - giving them the speed, reliability, and flexibility to ship with confidence.
This is a Staff DevRel role: you'll own the human interface between Buildkite's engineering reality and the developers evaluating, adopting, and championing it. You'll teach, demo, and debug in public, while running signal capture that feeds Product, Support, and Marketing the truth about what's confusing, what's missing, and what to ship next.
You'll operate with full ownership of the education-to-advocacy pipeline (from concept, to shipped artifact, to champion, inside a small) high-trust team where credibility comes from technical depth.
Exact benefits may vary slightly by country. We'll walk through the specifics for your location.
The base salary range for this role is $220,000–$240,000 USD. Compensation is determined based on geographic location, relevant experience, and qualifications.
Every application gets a response. If this sounds like the way you already work, apply, or reach out with questions first.

Buildkite runs a six-stage process: an application, a recruiter screen, a role-specific Technical Interview (which may include a hands-on task), a Craft Interview assessing four competencies (Productivity, Team Player, Customer Obsessed, and Curiosity), a Values Interview, and a final outcome communicated by email. Because the company is fully remote, every stage happens over chat and video.
Buildkite is fully remote, so you can work from a home office, a co-working space, or wherever you focus best. Hiring is limited to two corridors: the ANZ region (Australia and New Zealand, described in some postings as APJ) and the US Pacific timezone. Buildkite states that applicants outside those regions cannot currently be hired, and that it is not in a position to offer sponsorship.
Recent openings span engineering (platform, data, ML, and security roles up to Principal and VP level) alongside go-to-market and customer-facing positions such as Account Executive, GTM Engineer, Customer Success Manager, and Technical Account Manager.
Buildkite is a small but growing team of roughly 150 people, deliberately kept lean on the belief that small teams can achieve big things. It is venture-backed, having raised about $41M across a 2020 Series A and a 2022 Series B.
People who do well here are comfortable working async in a small, globally distributed team, enjoy owning a wide range of projects, and value flexible hours over fixed office time. Five stated values steer the culture: Bring the weird, Be real with each other, Maintain momentum, Empower others, and Build it together.
