The Role
We're growing our Developer Relations team and looking for our next Dev Advocate to join us in San Francisco. In this hybrid role, you'll serve as a technical bridge between Telnyx and the developers who build on our platform—writing code, building demos, engaging with the community, and representing Telnyx at industry events.
This role would suit a technical professional who thrives at the intersection of engineering and community. You're equally comfortable shipping code as you are explaining complex concepts to a room full of developers. The ability to work independently while collaborating across product, engineering, and marketing teams is essential.

- Build and maintain sample applications, quickstart guides, and integration demos that showcase Telnyx products
- Contribute to SDKs, developer documentation, and API references
- Write technical blog posts, tutorials, and code walkthroughs
- Debug and troubleshoot complex integration issues alongside developers
- Engage with developers on GitHub, Discord, Stack Overflow, and community forums
- Represent Telnyx at conferences, meetups, hackathons, and community events in the Bay Area and beyond
- Provide technical feedback to product and engineering teams based on developer insights
- Create video content including demos, walkthroughs, and technical deep-dives
- Build relationships with developer influencers, partners, and power users
What We Are Looking For
- Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, teach, lead, and follow
- 3+ years of software engineering experience — you've shipped production code
- Proficiency in at least two of: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or Ruby
- Experience working with REST APIs, webhooks, and real-time protocols
- Impeccable written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfortable presenting to groups of any size
- Based in San Francisco — this is a hybrid role
Bonus Points For
- Experience with telecom APIs, WebRTC, SIP, or real-time voice/messaging platforms
- Previous Developer Relations, Developer Advocacy, or Technical Evangelism experience
- Open-source contributions or a public portfolio of technical content
- Experience with video content creation
- Active presence in developer communities
- Established relationships with developers who trust and respect your technical guidance
