Developer advocate

A developer advocate helps developers succeed with a company's products while bringing their feedback back to the company. They create technical content, tutorials, and demos, speak at conferences and meetups, engage developer communities online, build sample projects, and serve as a two-way bridge between the company and the developers who use its tools.

The role blends technical skill with communication, content creation, and community engagement, requiring genuine credibility with developers. Advocates work at companies with developer-focused products.

The job suits technically capable, outgoing people who enjoy teaching, creating, and connecting with a community, and who like representing developers' needs internally as much as evangelizing the product externally.
