Developer Relations Lead

About us

Truffle Security is a cybersecurity company on a mission to make secrets easier to detect, verify, and remediate across modern software environments. Built on the popular open-source secrets scanning platform, the company's enterprise solution gives security and engineering teams everything they need to find exposed credentials, understand which ones are active, and act on them with confidence.

With support for 800+ credential types, Truffle Security continuously monitors non-human identities (NHIs) and their associated secrets across code repositories, SaaS applications, wikis, and cloud systems. It goes beyond detection by verifying which secrets are live, analyzing their scope of access, and streamlining remediation through automated workflows and lifecycle management so teams can prioritize what to revoke and confirm it's done without manual follow-up.

Trusted by organizations including NVIDIA, Chick-fil-A, and OpenAI, Truffle Security helps security and engineering teams stay ahead of secrets risk.

About the role

We're looking for a Developer Relations Lead to help grow our open source community, amplify our security research, and make TruffleHog easier for developers and security teams to adopt.

Truffle Security has built a strong reputation through open source software, original research, and practical AppSec education. As our community grows, we need someone to turn that momentum into a consistent, scalable developer relations motion.

In this role, you’ll own the intersection of open source community, technical education, research promotion, and practitioner engagement. You’ll create content, run community programs, represent Truffle Security externally, and bring user feedback back into product, engineering, research, and marketing.

If you enjoy helping developers and security practitioners solve real problems, turning complex technical work into accessible education, and building trusted technical communities, we’d love to meet you.

What you'll be working on

• Grow the Open Source Community: Own and improve the community experience around TruffleHog and related open source projects, engaging users and contributors across GitHub, Slack/Discord, and other forums.
• Drive Technical Education: Create engaging content such as blogs, demos, tutorials, videos, release notes, workshops, and webinars that help practitioners adopt Truffle Security tools.
• Run Community Programs: Lead recurring touchpoints like office hours, demos, technical sessions, and community calls to build consistent engagement.
• Amplify Research and Releases: Partner with research and engineering to package technical findings, open source releases, and product updates into clear, practitioner-facing education.
• Build Launch Programs: Develop repeatable launch plans for research releases, open source updates, product launches, and major announcements.
• Engage and Support Users: Actively interact with users and contributors, answering questions, gathering feedback, and improving the overall developer experience.
• Champion Community Feedback: Identify common pain points and share actionable insights with product, engineering, documentation, and research teams.
• Represent Truffle Security: Speak at conferences, meetups, webinars, podcasts, and security events to grow awareness and establish technical credibility.

What we're looking for

• Experience in developer relations, developer advocacy, or similar community-facing technical roles.
