Developer Advocate

Forest Admin has been designed to help developers save time and to provide business teams with a tool tailored to their operations, at scale. At Forest Admin, we’ve developed an “admin panel as a service” allowing any web-based company to skip all the design, development and maintenance of their back office.

Technically speaking, Forest Admin is an open-source plugin which analyses your data models and automatically generate an admin API on which business teams can work on. Building such tool required us to re-think the entire architecture of our product where we would never access our client’s data, introducing a new class of product in the SaaS world.

How big is it? All apps need a back office, which means we have an impact on virtually … all web related businesses! We’re currently on-boarding more and more fast-growing companies (ex. Qonto, Heetch, Carbon Health…) at an incredible pace and we want to accelerate our expansion.

Your main challenge as Forest Admin’s Developer Advocate is to lead our dev adoption efforts by creating, educating and growing a developer community with an open source mindset that is passionate about web apps and sharing knowledge about admin development best practices and tools.

As a modern-day Forest ranger your will be in charge of spreading the word in the tech community about Forest Admin.
