What does a Developer Advocate do?

A Developer Advocate acts as the technical liaison between a platform or product and its developer community. Day-to-day work involves creating code samples, tutorials, and documentation; presenting at conferences and meetups; engaging developers on forums, Discord, and social channels; and running feedback sessions that surface real-world pain points back to product and engineering teams. In AI and agentic platform contexts, advocates also build proof-of-concept integrations, write SDKs or quickstart guides, and help developers understand how to build effectively on top of APIs, models, or protocols.
