👋 Hello

Applications are currently closed to join our well established and expanding global Developer Relations team here at GitHub. But don't worry. We have a bunch of other roles open all around the world so please take a look if any of those sound interesting and we might still be able to work together. The Security Lab team have a great role if InfoSec is your jam but there are many others across product, engineering, design and all across the company.
