Hi, I'm Zan 👋 The wave of layoffs in tech finally hit me. At the end of January, I was made redundant from my DevRel role at CircleCI so I am beginning my search for the next opportunity, either in DevRel or adjacent. Hence, the green #opentowork banner. How do you know you have a Zan-shaped void in your team: You are looking to boost your #DevRel or #DevEx team (or start one for that matter). I've done it all, and worn most- if not all of the hats (sometimes at the same time - https://lnkd.in/eRB-E9-H) Here are a few things I've done over the past years: - Created and pushed content (my bulletproof content strategy is the reason why you're seeing this post) - Wrote, submitted, and delivered talks and workshops (I LOVE hands-on workshops), - Inspired, and helped coworkers submit and deliver talks - https://lnkd.in/eeFRHRD5, - created and maintained #docs and dev portals (and came up with my own writing method - https://lnkd.in/eX877tyH), - Built #SDKs for mobile, web, and backend, - ran and grew communities - hired and managed a DevRel team. I might be also a good fit if you're looking for a technical PM for APIs or DevEx. with an in-depth understanding of developer audiences, or a Staff+ engineer to level up your engineering team's game. I’m open to companies of various stages, sizes, and industries - from staying in tech, SaaS, and dev tools (my happy place over the last 7-ish years), to branching out - I’m passionate about travel (especially the airline industry), and the environment (the irony doesn't escape me), and lately started looking into GenAI (same as everyone else). Want to talk? Let's talk.

We are hiring! Not just hiring we at Entvin (YC S22) are on the lookout for our first hire. But before that let me tell you about our journey briefly…. It was 2021 when I contemplated taking the plunge into entrepreneurship, there was a clear understanding that the team forms the foundation of what you build. Drawing from my prior experience at andMe | GlobalBees Brands, I recognized that a successful startup is only possible with a strong team. Upon entering YC, we were uncertain about the reasons behind our selection. When asked one of the YC partners, "With no apparent advantages - be it traction, customers, or revenue - why did you choose us?" His response was clear- “You were a good team and you were listening to customers and executing” Our key takeaways: 📌 Surround yourself with the best team 📌 Listen to customers while maintaining unwavering execution. Post YC, we deliberately delayed hiring, opting to lift ourselves until we witnessed customer acceptance. Now, as we hit a pivotal point, we're on the lookout for our first hire – a full-stack engineer to join the founding team. If you're passionate about innovation, ready for a challenging yet rewarding journey, and want to be a part of something groundbreaking, we want to hear from you! Email us at founders@entvin.com or DM me with your resume! Looking forward to all the amazing applications! Hemant Phalak- Entvin (YC S22) #hiring #nowhiring #jobsearch #recuriting

In software engineering, growing a team is more than just hiring more people. It's about making sure each new engineer gets a good start with clear onboarding and training. This way, everyone can work well together and help the team do great things. Growing the team bit by bit, with a plan for how each person fits in, shows strong leadership and helps keep the team strong and ready to tackle big challenges. #TeamGrowth #OnboardingSuccess #SoftwareEngineering
