Orbital (https://orbitalhq.com) is looking for a freelance Developer Relations engineer.
This is a job well suited to a mid-level engineer who loves to blog / create content.

Orbital is (probably) the coolest Data & API platform that no-one's heard of. We automatically build glue code & data pipelines that self-repair as things change, letting engineers get back to building, rather than plumbing microservices together. We also build our own language - taxilang.org.

🏢 Company: Orbital
🌎 Location: London
🏠 Remote: Full - but with min. 4hrs in UK working hours.
👋 Tech stack: 💯 Kotlin
⌛ Full-time: Negotiatible. Expect 20-30 hours / week initially.
💸 Our budget is £6k / month

Your main role will be building out content (blogs, demos, videos, marketing sites) to show off features of Taxi and Orbital.
