Job description

We’re hiring a Developer Advocate to be the technical voice of Sent on the internet. This isn’t a customer-facing AM role and it isn’t a pre-sales engineer role. The job is to produce a steady stream of technical content, code, demos, posts, videos, talks, and to engage with developers where they actually hang out: Hacker News, X, Reddit, Discord servers, GitHub.

You’ll write the tutorial that ranks for ā€œhow to send WhatsApp from Node.js.ā€ You’ll build the demo that gets passed around in a Slack channel. You’ll be in the comments when someone asks how Sent compares to Twilio, and you’ll have a useful answer ready.

What you’ll do

  • Publish technical content on a regular cadence: tutorials, comparison posts, deep dives, working demos, sample apps
  • Maintain a strong personal presence on X and LinkedIn, building an audience of developers who care about messaging infrastructure
  • Show up at developer conferences and meetups, sometimes speaking, sometimes running a booth, sometimes both
  • Own the SDK and quickstart developer experience end to end, and feed friction back to engineering
  • Partner with marketing on campaigns targeting Twilio and other incumbents
  • Run office hours, livestreams, or whatever format works to get builders engaged with the product

Requirements

Do you have experience in Technical writing?, * 4+ years working as a developer, with at least 1-2 of those years in DevRel, developer marketing, or as a heavily public technical IC

  • You ship code. You can build a working integration in a weekend and write up how you did it on Monday
  • A real portfolio of public technical content: blog posts, repos, talks, videos, or a following you’ve built yourself
  • Strong writing. You can explain a webhook signature flow without making the reader want to die
  • Comfort with messaging, telecom, or API infrastructure is a plus but not required

Benefits & conditions

Pulled from the full job description

  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching

  • Unlimited paid time off, * Top-tier medical, dental, vision fully covered
  • 401(k) with 100% match up to 4%
