Responsibilities

  • 01Create technical content that developers actually use
  • 02Write blog posts, tutorials, and how-to guides that show real, working integrations — not just feature announcements
  • 03Build and maintain sample apps, starter kits, and code snippets across common languages and frameworks
  • 04Produce video walkthroughs and livestreams using Synthesia's own product wherever it makes sense to 'eat our own dog food'
  • 05Keep a fast, honest cadence — regular, dependable output builds more trust than occasional big launches
  • 06Show up where developers are
  • 07Represent Synthesia at conferences, meetups, hackathons, and webinars — as a speaker, workshop host, and booth presence
  • 08Run livestreams and community AMAs that go deep on real implementation questions, not marketing talking points
  • 09Build relationships with individual developers, technical bloggers, and community leaders who influence adoption
  • 10Travel as needed to be physically present in the communities that matter most to our growth
  • 11Be the credible technical voice
  • 12Get hands-on with the Synthesia API well enough to build things yourself, debug alongside developers, and speak with authority — not from a script
  • 13Earn trust the way any evangelist does: by being genuinely useful before asking for anything in return
  • 14Play the long game — plant seeds in developer communities today that turn into adoption months or years down the line
  • 15Close the loop with product
  • 16Channel developer feedback, friction points, and feature requests back to Product and Engineering in a structured way
  • 17Partner with Developer Support and Documentation to identify where the API's rough edges are creating support burden or lost adoption
  • 18Help prioritize the developer experience roadmap based on what you're hearing on the ground
  • 19Build the flywheel
  • 20Grow and nurture channels — Discord/Slack community, developer newsletter, social — where developers can find each other and find help
  • 21Identify and cultivate community advocates and early power users who can become case studies, co-speakers, or contributors
  • 22Measure what's working (content engagement, API sign-ups, community growth, sentiment) and adjust the playbook accordingly

Requirements

  • 01Experience in developer relations, developer advocacy, technical evangelism, or a similar hybrid technical/communication role — ideally at a platform, API-first, or infrastructure company
  • 02Genuinely hands-on: comfortable writing code, working with APIs and SDKs, and building demo apps yourself, not just narrating what engineering built
  • 03A strong, authentic communicator across formats — written, live, and on stage — who can make technical concepts land with a developer audience
  • 04Comfortable with regular travel and public speaking; energized by meeting developers in person, not just online
  • 05A track record of sustained output (blog, video, or community content) rather than one-off campaigns — evangelism is a long game, and consistency is what earns trust
  • 06Skilled at listening as much as broadcasting: you can sit in a developer's frustration and turn it into a clear, actionable signal for the product team
  • 07Comfortable operating with a lot of autonomy in a fast-moving, still-forming function
  • 08Bonus: existing following or credibility within a developer community relevant to Synthesia's platform (video, AI/ML, automation, or enterprise software)
