About the role

Developer Advocate responsible for demonstrating how Telnyx can power edge, IoT, and AI workloads by building benchmarks, demos, and real-world use cases across IoT SIM/eSIM, private networking, Edge Compute, and Telnyx Inference at the edge.

Responsibilities

  • Benchmarking: Design and run repeatable benchmarks for latency, throughput, reliability, and cost across Telnyx Inference, Edge Compute, and connectivity, and publish methodology and results developers can reproduce.
  • Field Demos on Real Devices: Build and operate working deployments on real hardware with Telnyx IoT SIM and eSIM installed, such as cellular modems, gateways, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32, and show them in action in the field, with some travel for field demos and events.
  • Edge AI Use Cases: Create reference demos that combine connectivity, private networking, Edge Compute, and Telnyx Inference, showing what businesses can build when AI runs close to their devices and users.
  • Compliance by Configuration: Build demos that show how teams can meet their compliance requirements by configuring Telnyx exactly the way they need, including in-region inference, data residency, zero data retention, and private connectivity.
  • Sample Apps & Open Source: Publish working sample apps, starter kits, and repos on GitHub, and keep them tested against current APIs, SDKs, and firmware.
  • Developer Advocacy: Present demos through videos, livestreams, workshops, meetups, and conferences, and partner with Content to turn every build into tutorials and posts.
  • Developer Feedback Loop: Be the first user of new products and bring friction points from the field, GitHub, Discord, Reddit, and X back to Product and Engineering.

Qualifications

  • Experienced developer relations engineer, solutions engineer, or developer advocate who has done similar work before AI and has a public portfolio of demos, sample apps, or talks that developers actually use.
  • Ability to produce polished, high-production YouTube videos with strong video editing and visual design skills.
  • Exceptional writer and researcher who creates original, people-first content grounded in first-hand experience and real expertise.
  • Hands-on developer comfortable writing, testing, and debugging C/C++ and Python for devices, plus JavaScript/TypeScript or Go for cloud and edge apps (including AI-assisted tools).
  • Hands-on experience with cellular or IoT connectivity (SIM/eSIM provisioning, APNs, LTE-M/NB-IoT devices).
  • Proven experience designing and running benchmarks with rigorous methodology.
  • Solid grasp of networking fundamentals (BGP, IPsec, VPCs, cloud interconnects).
  • Working knowledge of LLM inference and AI application patterns (model serving, streaming, agent tool use).
  • Master’s or PhD in CS, EE, or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Operator mindset with ability to ship working demos quickly.
  • Experience in developer relations or solutions engineering at an IoT, networking, telecom, or cloud company.
  • Hands-on experience with Raspberry Pi, ESP32, cellular modems, or MQTT (published projects/repos a plus).
  • Familiarity with data residency, privacy, and security requirements in regulated industries (healthcare, finance, public sector).
  • Experience presenting live demos at conferences, meetups, or on video.
  • Bonus: familiarity with SEO or how AI answer engines cite content.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving startup with high autonomy.
