We’re stoked that you’re interested in our SuperFrogs program. First rule of SuperFrogs? Forget all you know about tech advocacy programs. SuperFrogs is different. Our emphasis is on:

Making life better for developers,
not helping a vendor
Helping the DevOps community,
not hawking products
Promoting CI/CD freedom of choice,
not loyalty to a brand
Creating long-lasting SDLC progress,
not short-term gains

As such, we’re looking for folks with superhero skills and superhero altruism that want to protect and transform the world of DevOps.
