## About the role

Developers decide what infrastructure wins. They try three platforms in an afternoon, keep the one that got them to a working inference call fastest, and tell everyone else about it. As a Developer Advocate at Fireworks, you own a piece of that decision: you make Fireworks the platform developers reach for first when they want to build, fine-tune, and serve frontier open models in production. You do that by building things worth showing, not by talking about things other people built.

## What they're looking for

- You can code and read diffs. Strong Python, comfortable in TypeScript/JavaScript. You've built and deployed applications yourself, and you can review someone else's sample and tell whether it's good
- A public track record. Technical writing, talks, videos, open-source work, or a following you earned. Something we can go read or watch that shows you can explain hard things well to engineers
- Demonstrated speaking ability. You've presented at conferences, meetups, or workshops, and you're comfortable doing it on short notice about something that shipped last week
- Learning velocity. You can go from "this paper came out Tuesday" to "here's a working implementation and an honest assessment" quickly, and you have a system for staying current rather than relying on luck
- Ownership instinct. You pick your own topics, scope your own projects end to end, and don't need a content calendar handed to you. This role is early enough that you'll be defining the work as often as executing it
