Senior Developer Advocate

About the role

As a Senior Developer Advocate, you are the builder and storyteller who proves what's possible with voice AI - and then shows developers exactly how to do it themselves. You ship reference apps, demos, and technical content that move developers from curiosity to production. You find the friction points before anyone else does and turn them into actionable feedback for Product and Engineering. You show up where developers are - online and in person - and earn trust through technical depth, empathy, and consistency. This is a high-autonomy role. You identify the gaps, define the approach, and drive work to measurable outcomes. You're deep in the Advocacy pillar (content, demos, community, narrative) and proficient in the Experience pillar (you can contribute to SDKs, recipes, and docs when the work calls for it). Your output moves the needle on adoption and retention, not just activity metrics. We're looking for someone based on the US East Coast who can be Deepgram's in-person presence at events, meetups, and workshops in the NY metro area and across the US.

Responsibilities

• Code-First Content: Produce deep-dives, video walkthroughs, and "build-in-public" documentation that moves developers from idea to working prototype in minutes. You write and build for developers.
• Be the "Zero-Index" Sensor: Act as the first customer for every new feature and API change. Turn feedback from your own builds and from the developer community into Friction Reports that influence Product and Engineering priorities.
• Own Technical Narrative: Author high-quality technical content across blogs, social media, and video platforms that establishes Deepgram as the default choice for voice AI.
• Community Engagement: Engage where developers live (GitHub, Reddit, X, Discord, Hacker News) to represent Deepgram, answer questions, and earn community trust through consistent technical presence.
• In-Person Advocacy: Serve as Deepgram's on-the-ground presen
