What does a Developer Advocate do?

A Developer Advocate acts as the technical liaison between a platform or product and its developer community. Day-to-day work involves creating code samples, tutorials, and documentation; presenting at conferences and meetups; engaging developers on forums, Discord, and social channels; and running feedback sessions that surface real-world pain points back to product and engineering teams. In AI and agentic platform contexts, advocates also build proof-of-concept integrations, write SDKs or quickstart guides, and help developers understand how to build effectively on top of APIs, models, or protocols.

Key responsibilities

  • Build and publish technical content: tutorials, blog posts, sample apps, and code demos
  • Represent the platform at conferences, hackathons, and developer meetups
  • Engage and grow developer communities on forums, Discord, GitHub, and social media
  • Collect and synthesize developer feedback to inform product and documentation priorities
  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to improve APIs, SDKs, and DX
  • Create and maintain quickstart guides, integration examples, and reference architectures
