Senior Developer Advocate
$200k - $250k USD
This is an in-person role rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area developer ecosystem. You’ll be representing Apify across the local community, connecting with partners, and attending key events. To succeed in this role, you’ll need to already be based in the Bay Area.
Apify's mission is to help anyone get more value from the web with automation, AI agents, and web scraping.
Why?
We believe that humans have better things to do than filling forms, compiling huge Excel sheets of copy-pasted data, or watching thousands of videos to determine whether they include a specific brand logo.
Those are jobs for machines.
And just as in the real world, we have tools that make our lives easier, we should have tools to make our lives easier on the web.
Web automation has a profound impact. Our users automate service unsubscriptions to save people money, and they collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for AI training, protection of consumers, or finding lost children. We give AI chatbots the context to interact intelligently, and we’re developing novel ways to work with AI agents and MCP.
To support our mission, we're looking for a Senior Developer Advocate, with a strong background in AI, to lead and expand the Apify developer community in the Bay Area, and enhance engagement with the broader developer ecosystem. In this senior position, you will spearhead strategic initiatives to raise awareness and drive adoption of the Apify platform, playing a key role in our US GTM strategy.
This is a strategic role within our Developer Relations and Community team. You’ll collaborate closely with the Head of Developer Relations, Community Managers, Developer Advocates, and cross-functional teams.
What you’ll be working on:
Lead engagement initiatives: Architect and oversee local first and third party events, meetups, and hackathons, building relationships in the Bay Area developer community focused on AI and automation
Create technical content: Develop polished demos, sample apps, blog posts, or videos, that showcase how to build with Apify, emphasizing integrations with AI tools and frameworks
Deliver workshops and presentations: Create and lead hands-on workshops, tutorials, and presentations at developer events, both in-person across the US and online
Forge strategic partnerships and collaborations: Build strategic partnerships with other tech companies to collaborate on initiatives that promote community resources and enhance the use of Apify tools in AI contexts
Collaborate with Marketing: Work closely with the marketing team on the US go-to-market strategy, serving as a voice for developers to ensure their needs and feedback are represented in marketing efforts
Mentor junior team members: Provide guidance and support to less experienced team members, fostering their growth and contributing to a positive team dynamic
Who we’re looking for:
5+ years experience in Developer Advocacy, Developer Relations, or technical evangelism, particularly with a focus on AI technologies
Strong hands-on development experience with JavaScript and/or Python
A profound understanding of developer needs, especially surrounding AI, with the ability to create resources that address pain points and and inform product growth and innovation
A strong portfolio of demos, talks, or tutorials showcasing your ability to engage developer audiences
Existing connections within the Bay Area developer community that can help accelerate outreach efforts
Excellent communication skills for both written content and verbal presentations
Based in the Bay Area with the ability to attend in-person events and also travel within the US or internationally on occasion
Proven leadership skills, capable of independently managing and completing projects while fostering cross-functional collaboration
Don’t worry if you don’t meet all of the above criteria. We value diverse skills and experience and would love to hear from you.
Why should you work at Apify:
Ownership and impact: You will own Apify’s developer initiatives in the Bay Area and work with the rest of the team to create maximum impact
Existing ecosystem: You won’t be starting from scratch. Members of our team have already been on the ground in the Bay Area, running events and building relationships. You’ll tap into that momentum to jumpstart local programs, community engagement, and content creation.
Close relationship with AI: You will be at the center of the AI revolution, helping developers who are sourcing the data that fuels the world's most advanced AI applications.
Space, support, and autonomy for personal growth, with a direct impact on our success
