Developer Advocate

Who are we looking for? You’ll be the voice and face of Merge for the AI developer community, lighting up the builders who want to ship real products with agents, LLMs, and integrations. This role is about driving awareness, activation, and long‑term love for Merge: helping developers get onboarded quickly, build confidently, and keep coming back as their use cases scale. This is a hands‑on, execution‑focused role at the intersection of community, content, and real technical work. You’ll write docs, build sample apps, create tutorials and demos, and show the world what’s possible with Merge through videos, talks, and developer‑first storytelling. You’ll have a senior advisor to partner with, but success comes from being curious, self‑directed, and comfortable thriving in ambiguity. What will you be doing?

Identify gaps in existing docs by testing the developer journey yourself and logging what breaks Contribute to SEO‑optimized blog posts that target developer search intent Community and distribution Monitor developer forums and community channels for common friction points and surface them internally Own and execute community channel strategy across Discord, developer forums, and social platforms, including growing presence and defining engagement playbooks. Help amplify Merge content across relevant developer communities and events without being spammy about it Support influencer and creator partnerships by preparing briefs, reviewing content, and checking technical accuracy Developer experience Test real‑world use cases against the product and document what works and what does not Channel developer feedback from docs, community, and content back to the product team Create eye‑catching videos for X that entice developers to learn more Help maintain the YouTube channel with short‑form demos and walkthroughs What experience is required?
