Senior Developer Advocate

Responsibilities

• Attend Bay Area developer events several times a week (meetups, demo nights, hackathons, conferences), building real relationships with AI and platform engineers over months
• Bring back structured signal on what practitioners are building, where they're stuck, and how they talk about agents, releases, and runtime control
• Build and show small, credible demos on AgentControl and the LaunchDarkly platform, and hold your own when the technical questions get hard
• Write event recaps and practitioner-grade content that people in the community actually want to read
• Over time, organize gatherings around problems developers actually have
• Route relationships, signal, and opportunities to the owners who can act on them, with enough context attached to act

What Success Looks Like

• LaunchDarkly has a consistent, welcome presence in the rooms where the AI developer conversation is happening
• Organizers invite you to speak rather than fielding our pitches, and practitioners seek you out at events
• Your recaps get shared by people who weren't in the room, and your content draws an audience without paid distribution
• What you bring back changes decisions: a play gets adjusted, positioning gets sharpened, a docs gap gets prioritized
• You've killed or redesigned at least one part of your own plan based on the evidence
• Over time, you're convening gatherings developers attend for the problems on the agenda, and increasingly because you're the host

Qualifications

• Experience in developer advocacy, community, solutions engineering, customer success, or another customer-facing technical role
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with the ability to attend events in person several times a week, including evenings
• Technically credible: you can build and demo real things and hold a deep technical conversation without a script
• Already active in, or genuinely drawn to, the AI developer scene
• A strong written voice: your recaps make people who weren't in the room feel like they missed something

Bonus

• An existing network in the Bay Area developer community
• Experience organizing meetups or developer events
• Familiarity with feature management, experimentation, observability, or agent frameworks
