Developer Advocate

Developers are at the heart of everything AWS builds. We are creating AI-powered development tools like Amazon Q Developer that help developers write code more efficiently, debug faster, and eliminate time-consuming manual tasks. We are looking for experienced builders who want to help other builders maximize their productivity with these tools while influencing the future of developer productivity.

As a Developer Advocate on our Developer Productivity team, you will work directly with the teams building these tools while helping thousands of developers worldwide understand their practical applications. This highly visible role within AWS offers the opportunity to establish yourself as a recognized expert in AI-assisted development, with direct influence on the future of these tools through your content, community engagement, and product feedback.

Key job responsibilities :

• Create comprehensive technical content showcasing Amazon Q Developer and related AI development tools.
• Build in-depth video tutorials, live coding demonstrations, and detailed implementation guides that help developers integrate these tools into their daily workflows.
• Focus on long-form technical content that shows complete problem-solving scenarios like modernizing legacy applications or building full-stack architectures.
• Develop content specifically for frontend developers, backend engineers, and full-stack teams, addressing the unique challenges each group faces when adopting AI-assisted development.
• Through hands-on coding and community engagement, identify gaps between developer needs and current tooling capabilities.
• Work directly with engineering teams to influence product roadmaps based on real developer feedback, contribute to open source projects, and build guides that help developers achieve measurable productivity improvements.
