Senior Developer Advocate

Overview

As a Senior Developer Advocate at GitLab, you'll help technical audiences understand and use our intelligent orchestration platform where teams and their AI agents ship secure software faster. You'll go deep on the product, especially GitLab Duo Agent Platform and our newer capabilities, and continuously discover real-world workflows that teams care about. You'll turn that hands-on knowledge into demos, blog posts, videos, and presentations, and bring what you learn from customers and the developer community back to GitLab.

This role focuses on showing the product in action and building relationships with customers and the community. You'll help cover events and work across U.S. and Canadian time zones.

What You'll Do

• Deeply understand GitLab's platform, especially our AI agent capabilities, and continuously find productive, real-world use cases worth showing.
• Create product content, including videos, blog posts, presentations, and social clips that show key use cases for GitLab in the user interface and terminal.
• Produce video content end to end: script, record, and edit product walkthroughs and demos, and collaborate with GitLab's video team on longer or higher-production pieces.
• Deliver product demos and participate in analyst briefings.
• Engage with customers through webinars, customer meetings, and other conversations.
• Participate in the developer community by engaging on the GitLab forum and Discord, following conversations on social platforms, newsletters, and events.
• Answer technical questions that come through the sales team, and partner with support, sales, and product on developer-facing educational content.
• Use hands-on product experience to share feedback with product teams and test new features.
• Contribute to technical research and analysis of the developer tools landscape.
• Travel up to 20% for events and customer meetings.

What You'll Bring

• Hands-on technical experience: understanding of how software gets built, with a focus on post-code workflows, with the ability to talk credibly with engineers.
• Understanding of artificial intelligence and its use in software development from coding to production, including building and operating agentic systems and infrastructure.
• Strong technical communication skills to demo products, record walkthroughs, and speak at conferences.
• Fluency in developer social platforms and understanding what resonates with the community.
• Curiosity and self-direction in identifying trends, following industry movements, and identifying opportunities.
• Experience engaging with customers, developers, or technical communities.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate cross-functionally across sales, engineering, product, and other teams.
