Do you enjoy diving deep into Generative AI, solving complex problems, and sharing technical insights with fellow developers? Are you excited to explore how Generative AI will transform how software is designed, implemented, and deployed? If so, then this might be your dream job. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Developer Advocate (DA) focusing on Generative AI to join the Developer Experience team in Bangalore, India. You'll be at the forefront of educating and enabling developers to harness the power of Generative AI on AWS.
Key job responsibilities • As a Developer Advocate on Generative AI, you'll be a technical thought leader in leveraging AI-powered tools for software development. You'll create and present technical content on integrating Generative AI into everyday coding practices, including in-depth tutorials, thought leadership articles on best practices and code samples. • Your expertise in both traditional software development and Generative AI technologies will position you as a go-to expert for developers seeking guidance on enhancing their development processes with AI. You'll mentor other developers, helping them effectively integrate Generative AI tools into their workflows. • You'll inform AWS product roadmaps with insights from real-world developer experiences and challenges in adopting Generative AI tools. You'll participate in early-stage product ideation for developer tools and services, bringing the voice of practical software developers to the table. • You'll support Developer Relations activities across the region, focusing on how Generative AI can solve common development challenges and improve overall productivity.
A day in the life Your day might start with a team standup, aligning on current projects. You could spend the morning preparing for an upcoming workshop on how to use Amazon Q for code generation, refactoring and automated testing. In the afternoon, you might spend time answering questions on Stack Overflow about integrating AWS Generative AI services into everyday software development tasks. Your day might conclude with some experimental coding, investigating ways to combine these AI-powered tools with traditional software development practices to create more efficient development workflows.
