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 TruffleHog™ 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, community, open source, AppSec, DevSecOps, developer tooling, or a related technical field.
  • Strong understanding of modern software development workflows, CI/CD, GitHub-based development, and security best practices.
  • Familiarity with secrets management, secret scanning, vulnerability management, or secure software development.
  • Ability to read, write, and explain code; familiarity with Go, Python, Bash, GitHub Actions, Docker, or cloud platforms is a plus.
  • Experience creating technical content such as blog posts, demos, workshops, videos, presentations, or documentation.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex technical topics clear and practical.
  • Comfort engaging with developer, open source, DevOps, or security communities.
  • Collaborative, low-ego working style and ability to partner across engineering, research, product, marketing, sales, and leadership.

Bonus points!

  • Experience building or scaling a DevRel or open source community program.
    Active contributor to open source communities.
  • Knowledge of open-source software
  • Experience speaking at conferences, meetups, webinars, or podcasts.
  • Familiarity with AppSec, DevSecOps, cloud security, or enterprise security workflows.

Leveling will be determined during the interview process. You may also be offered a bonus, stock options, and benefits. These salary ranges are subject to change, and we encourage candidates outside of this salary range to apply.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
