Job summary

LaunchDarkly is seeking a Senior Developer Advocate based in the San Francisco Bay Area to own our local presence. You will attend meetups, hackathons, and conferences, build relationships with AI and platform engineers, and demonstrate runtime control through credible demos.

You will listen, synthesize feedback, write practitioner-focused content, and help organize community gatherings. This role requires in-person availability several times a week and a passion for the AI developer ecosystem.

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.

Responsibilities

• Show up consistently: attend Bay Area developer events several times a week, building real relationships with AI and platform engineers over months.
• Listen more than you talk: bring back structured signal on practitioners' needs and how they discuss agents, releases, and runtime control.
• Demonstrate, don't pitch: build and show small, credible demos on AgentControl and the LaunchDarkly platform.
• Add to the conversation: write event recaps and practitioner-grade content that people want to read.
• Earn the right to convene: organize gatherings around developers' problems over time.
