Senior Developer Advocate
Airbyte is the open‑source standard for data movement. We've enabled data teams to move data from applications, APIs, unstructured sources and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and AI applications. With tens of thousands of connectors built and hundreds of thousands of companies adopting Airbyte, we've proven the economics of data integration at scale. And now Airbyte is building the frontier agentic data infrastructure, purpose-built for AI agents that need fast, accurate access to data across hundreds of sources. Our mission: make data available and actionable, everywhere.
We've raised $181M from the world's top investors (Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, Y Combinator, etc.) and we believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome that all our users love. We’ve raised enough capital to explore boldly, but we still choose to move quickly, stay scrappy, and experiment constantly as we find the right paths in an AI-native landscape.
The Role:
As a Founding Senior Developer Advocate at Airbyte, you will be the first developer advocate dedicated to our new agentic data infrastructure product. This is equal parts building and storytelling. You'll ship real projects using our product, create technical content that shows AI engineers what's possible, and build relationships across the AI agent ecosystem. If you're the kind of person who gets excited about building cool AI demos on a Friday night and sharing what you learned with the community on Monday morning, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do:
Build and ship projects, demos, and sample applications using Airbyte's agentic data infrastructure, showing AI engineers how to give their agents fast, accurate access to business data.
Create high-quality technical content including tutorials, blog posts, walkthrough videos, and live coding sessions that make complex concepts accessible and engaging.
Partner with AI framework teams (LangChain, Pydantic AI, CrewAI, and others) to build integrations, co-create content, and ensure Airbyte works seamlessly with the leading agent SDKs.
Work with influencers and technical creators in the AI engineering community to amplify Airbyte's presence and reach new audiences.
Represent Airbyte at meetups, conferences, podcasts, and online communities, sharing what you're building and learning along the way.
Engage with the developer community across GitHub, Discord, Twitter/X, and YouTube, answering questions, spotlighting community projects, and gathering feedback.
Bring insights from the community back to Product and Engineering to help shape the product roadmap and developer experience.
What You’ll Need:
2+ years of experience in developer advocacy, developer relations, or a hands-on engineering role with a strong content creation component.
Proficiency in Python and familiarity with the AI/ML ecosystem, including agent frameworks, LLMs, and modern AI tooling.
Demonstrated experience creating technical content that developers actually want to read, watch, or build with.
A builder mentality. You're not just talking about the product, you're using it, breaking it, and shipping things with it.
Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to make technical topics clear and compelling.
Comfort working in a fast-paced, early-stage environment where you'll help define the playbook from scratch.
Nice To Have:
An existing online presence (blog, YouTube channel, Twitter/X following, newsletter) in the AI or data engineering space.
Comfortable and engaging on camera, whether that's YouTube videos, conference talks, or podcast appearances.
Experience working with or contributing to AI agent frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, or similar projects.
Familiarity with data infrastructure concepts like ELT, CDC, schema management, and real-time sync.
Experience building or maintaining open-source projects.
Location:
Onsite 5 days/week in San Francisco, CA
