# About the Role As a Senior Developer Advocate, you are the builder and storyteller who proves whats possible with voice AI - and then shows developers exactly how to do it themselves. You ship reference apps, demos, and technical content that move developers from curiosity to production. You find the friction points before anyone else does and turn them into actionable feedback for Product and Engineering. You show up where developers are - online and in person - and earn trust through technical depth, empathy, and consistency.
This is a high-autonomy role. You identify the gaps, define the approach, and drive work to measurable outcomes. Youre deep in the Advocacy pillar (content, demos, community, narrative) and proficient in the Experience pillar (you can contribute to SDKs, recipes, and docs when the work calls for it). Your output moves the needle on adoption and retention, not just activity metrics.

# Benefits & Perks
For candidates outside of the US, we use an Employer of Record model in many countries, which means benefits are administered locally and governed by country-specific regulations. Because of this, benefits will differ by region - in some cases international employees receive benefits US employees do not, and vice versa. As we scale, we will continue to evaluate where we can create more alignment, but a 1:1 global benefits structure is not always legally or operationally possible.
