About the role

Senior Developer Advocate focusing on Omnigent, a meta-harness for AI agents, bridging Databricks engineering with the open source community. Build the community around Omnigent through templates, demos, tutorials, and events; drive adoption and contributor growth; and communicate complex concepts clearly to developers.

Responsibilities

  • Own medium-to-large advocacy projects end-to-end for Omnigent, from scoping through delivery.
  • Grow the Omnigent contributor community: lower the barrier to a first contribution, review and triage in the open, and help new maintainers take on real responsibility.
  • Drive external adoption by showing developers how to integrate Omnigent into their existing agent stacks and their own products — including stacks that have nothing to do with Databricks.
  • Create practical templates, sample repositories, and reference implementations that developers can clone, fork, and ship.
  • Create high-quality educational content — videos, tutorials, courseware, and blog posts — covering harness composition, contextual policies, sandboxing, and cost controls, and reuse each core asset across formats.
  • Drive awareness and adoption of Omnigent through speaking engagements at industry events, conferences, and meetups.
  • Act as a trusted advisor between the community and our engineering team, and influence roadmap discussions with what you learn.
  • Support developers where they already are — GitHub issues, Discord, Slack, Stack Overflow, and Reddit — and keep a real pulse on what's blocking them.
  • Mentor and unblock less-experienced advocates in content, demos, and public speaking.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of combined experience as a developer advocate and in a hands-on technical role — software engineer, ML engineer, or solutions architect.
  • Professional experience actually building software, and current hands-on experience with agentic developer tooling and coding agents.
  • Strong Python and TypeScript skills, and comfort at the command line and in other people's codebases.
  • Demonstrated experience contributing to open source projects and working in the open — issues, pull requests, reviews, and release processes.
  • Subject matter knowledge of agent architecture, orchestration, sandboxing, and the practical problems of running agents safely and affordably.
  • Experience growing a contributor community, not just a user base.
  • Active participation and recognized leadership in open source community forums, chats, and meetups — measured by what the community builds with your help, not by follower count.
  • A public portfolio of technical work: repositories, tutorials, talks, or sustained community contributions.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with a talent for articulating complex concepts through writing, teaching, video, and public speaking.
  • Deep empathy for developer needs, with the ability to craft engaging experiences across tutorials, sample projects, and community platforms.
  • Adept at collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to align community initiatives with product objectives.
