In the posting’s own words
Are you a Developer Advocate who thrives in the spotlight, loves presenting and hosting events, and is genuinely hands-on with agentic developer tooling — the kind of person who has already wired up three coding agents and has opinions about what breaks?
What it asks for · 11
- 5+ years of combined experience as a developer advocate and in a hands-on technical role — software engineer, ML engineer, or solutions architect.
- Professional experience actually building software, and current hands-on experience with agentic developer tooling and coding agents.
- Strong Python and TypeScript skills, and comfort at the command line and in other people's codebases.
- Demonstrated experience contributing to open source projects and working in the open — issues, pull requests, reviews, and release processes.
- Subject matter knowledge of agent architecture, orchestration, sandboxing, and the practical problems of running agents safely and affordably.
- Experience growing a contributor community, not just a user base.
- Active participation and recognized leadership in open source community forums, chats, and meetups — measured by what the community builds with your help, not by follower count.
- A public portfolio of technical work: repositories, tutorials, talks, or sustained community contributions.
- Exceptional communication skills, with a talent for articulating complex concepts through writing, teaching, video, and public speaking.
- Deep empathy for developer needs, with the ability to craft engaging experiences across tutorials, sample projects, and community platforms.
- Adept at collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to align community initiatives with product objectives.
What the job covers
- Own medium-to-large advocacy projects end-to-end for Omnigent, from scoping through delivery.
- Grow the Omnigent contributor community: lower the barrier to a first contribution, review and triage in the open, and help new maintainers take on real responsibility.
- Drive external adoption by showing developers how to integrate Omnigent into their existing agent stacks and their own products — including stacks that have nothing to do with Databricks.
- Create practical templates, sample repositories, and reference implementations that developers can clone, fork, and ship.
- Create high-quality educational content — videos, tutorials, courseware, and blog posts — covering harness composition, contextual policies, sandboxing, and cost controls, and reuse each core asset across formats.
- Drive awareness and adoption of Omnigent through speaking engagements at industry events, conferences, and meetups.
- Act as a trusted advisor between the community and our engineering team, and influence roadmap discussions with what you learn.
- Support developers where they already are — GitHub issues, Discord, Slack, Stack Overflow, and Reddit — and keep a real pulse on what's blocking them.
- Mentor and unblock less-experienced advocates in content, demos, and public speaking.
