Developer Relations Engineer

Overview Of The Role

KX is hiring a Developer Advocate. We’re expanding the KX Developer Relations (Dev Rel) team to drive reusable technical enablement and community growth with hands-on content that maps directly to core capital markets use-cases. The main deliverable is the technical enablement of sellers, presales engineers, customers, and community members to experience how KX turns historical, intraday, and real-time market data into decisions that drive value and capture alpha.

• Design and ship repeatable standard demos across the capital markets workflow, emphasizing value driven outcomes like faster signal, accelerated algo research-to-prod, and enhanced alpha capture.
• Package each use-case with a technical storytelling deck, live demo, persona-specific talking points, video recording, and click-through demos; centralize access and enable ad-hoc deployment with minimal setup.
• Cover cross-cutting topics with smaller, high-leverage assets (deck + demo + blog/webinar): AI agent integration (e.g., MCP), lakehouse interoperability, GPU/NVIDIA acceleration.
• Partner tightly with Product Management, Product Marketing, and Presales/TAM to align essential messaging to personas and verticals (hedge fund, market maker, asset manager), overcome market challenges, collect feedback, and improve the framework.
• Evangelize and enable the community (Internal & External) by running webinars, training sessions, conference talks, blogs/tutorials, and curating a strong social media presence.
• 5+ years in solutions engineering/architecting or developer relations building credible, data-heavy solutions, demos, and prototypes.
• Kdb+/q proficiency: experience handling low-latency time-series data, designing queries, building efficient data pipelines (data engineering), using attributes, and optimizing data storage/retrieval workflows
• Strong Python (PyKX a plus) and SQL
• Comfort with streaming (Kafka), containers (Docker), basic Kubernetes

• Fluency with market data (tick/reference data), order book structure, and backtesting workflows; ability to reason about latency-critical vs. intraday/EOD decision-timeliness.
• Understanding of tick architectures (ticker plant/RDB/IDB/HDB)
• Experience with cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP)
• Dev Rel: you can present, teach, write, demo, create social media content, and interact with and grow the developer community.

• Experience with GPU acceleration and NVIDIA ecosystem, AI agent patterns (incl. MCP), RAG/vector search, and lakehouse integrations.
• Familiarity with capital markets regulated workflows and surveillance scenarios.
