## About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Developer Advocate to help more developers discover Viam, understand what’s possible with the platform, and start building with it. Our Developer Advocacy team is currently based in New York, and we’re expanding our presence on the West Coast. You’ll report to the SVP of Product & Education.

## What they're looking for

- A track record of creating high-quality technical content for developers, such as tutorials, videos, sample projects, workshops, or talks
- Experience as a software engineer building, shipping, and maintaining production software used by real users. Experience with Python, Go, C++, or TypeScript is especially relevant
- Strong technical judgment and the ability to independently scope, build, debug, and iterate on software projects with limited direction
- Hands-on experience with hardware, IoT, embedded systems, electronics, maker projects, or similar physical systems. Professional robotics experience is not required
- Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly without losing technical depth
- A strong understanding of how developers discover, evaluate, and adopt new technologies
