Role
Ionic sits at the crossroads of native and web technologies. With mobile solutions like Ionic Capacitor and Ionic Portals, web developers are able to create native iOS and Android apps, all while utilizing existing web technologies or native APIs accessible through JavaScript. To help us continue the rapid growth of both of these solutions, we’re looking for a Product Evangelist with a strong focus on native mobile development to empower companies and developers in their cross-platform development life cycle.
Product Evangelists at Ionic are representatives of the company who are technical experts, presenting and educating developer users and technical customers on Ionic products. They are also advocates for the developer user experience to the company. The focus of Developer Relations is to promote a healthy, productive relationship between developer users and Ionic products.
The Native Product Evangelist is a valued, collaborative developer experience team member, ready to jump into ideating / owning new campaigns and technical initiatives, giving presentations and workshops teaching developers about our cross-platform solutions, empowering potential and existing developer users with valuable resources (written, video, code, etc.).

Who we are
Ionic is changing the way mobile apps are built and delivered. From our popular open source mobile SDK to industry-leading mobile CI/CD and micro frontend solutions, Ionic helps you meet the demand for mobile across your business.
In 2013 we launched Ionic Framework, an open source software project that made it possible for web developers to build fast, beautiful mobile apps for any platform, using the web tools and languages that they already know and love.
Since then, our platform has evolved far beyond our initial open source toolset. Ionic now offers a complete app development platform to help professional developers and teams build, secure, and deliver apps faster and more easily than ever before. Ionic’s open source and premium tools now power about 15% of all apps in the app stores -- representing early-stage startups all the way up to major brands like GE, Target, and Amtrak. At the same time, our vibrant open source community now encompasses more than 5 million developers in 200 countries.
We provide full-time employees with full benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage with available coverage for spouses or domestic partners and children, stock options, 401(k), generous holiday and sick paid time off.
