Responsibilities
- Own Ably's technical education programme. You'll write quickstarts and guides that teach developers how to solve real AI problems with Ably.
- Be a credible presence in the communities that matter - and bring others with you.
- Feed developer intelligence across Ably.
- Contribute to documentation quality.
Requirements
- A technical background, you can write real code against an API, read a technical architecture, and hold your own in a conversation with an engineering team.
- A track record of technical writing that developers actually read and share.
- Experience building or growing a developer community, with a clear understanding of what makes one healthy versus what makes one large.
- Genuine understanding of how developers evaluate and adopt new tools, including how AI assistants now mediate that process.
- A point of view on realtime infrastructure, AI development patterns, or developer experience that you'd be comfortable defending in public.
- Enough familiarity with orchestration frameworks (Temporal and Vercel in particular) to articulate clearly where AIT’s transport and session layer sits relative to state management and orchestration.
- Experience using AI as a core part of your workflow - for research, writing, content structuring, and experimentation.
- Strong cross-functional instincts: you're comfortable working across marketing, product, and engineering without being owned by any of them.
Nice to Have
- Bonus points if you have building AI products that require streaming and session management.
- An existing developer audience: a blog, newsletter, YouTube channel, or social following - that is genuinely engaged.
- Experience structuring documentation or content for LLM ingestion (llms.txt, GEO, answer engine optimisation).
- Familiarity with product analytics and activation funnels.
- Previous DevRel, developer marketing, or developer education experience at a developer-first infrastructure company.
