Senior Developer Advocate

As a Developer Advocate, you will inspire and equip software developers to build with DigitalOcean as part of the Developer Advocacy team under the broader Developer Relations organization. This role is primarily, though not exclusively, focused on our set of AI capabilities, which range from bare metal GPUs up through our GenAI stack. This role will drive developer awareness and adoption with our current and upcoming AI products.

Responsibilities:

• Create content that inspires and equips developers to build with DigitalOcean. We aim to get developers to “aha!” moment with DigitalOcean as quickly as possible and then equip them to adopt increasingly advanced features of our platform. This content may come in the form of written tutorials, long-form videos on YouTube, or in-person events.
• Write code that enables developers to be successful with DigitalOcean. This code will be a key input into the content that is created and will be available as open source for developers to use in their own applications.
• Provide feedback to our Product teams based on your own experience as well as from developers in our community to improve our developer experience.
• Work with and provide feedback to the other Developer Relations teams, Social, Community and Content, that are peers to the Developer Advocacy team that this role is on. For example, reviewing the Social team’s answers to programming questions on social media when they need AI/ML expertise.  
• Decide how to scale our developer relations efforts. As we see success with our execution in videos, events, workshops, and other tactics, we’ll need to figure out the best way to invest in efficiently and effectively scaling up those executions to authentically serve even more developers.

Qualifications:

• Background in machine learning and statistics
• Ability to code in at least one major programming language such as Python, JavaScript/Type, Java or C#
• Demonstrated previous experience in creating publicly-available high quality, customer-facing technical content such as videos, written content, research publications
• Self-starter attitude, empathetic, and motivated to serve developers and make the colleagues around you better
