## Description

At Databricks, we are passionate about enabling data teams to solve the world's most challenging problems , from making the next mode of transportation a reality to accelerating medical breakthroughs.

As a Senior Developer Advocate for AI and Machine Learning, you'll be the voice of Databricks in the Bay Area AI community and a crucial link between our engineering teams and the global community of data scientists and AI engineers.

Your responsibilities will encompass a wide range of knowledge-sharing activities. You'll deliver engaging talks, host panels and meetups, create blogs and video content, develop courseware, answer questions in community forums, and meet one-on-one with influential AI engineers and data scientists.

## The impact you will have

- Be a consistent, recognized presence in the Bay Area AI community , speaking at local user groups and meetups, showing up to the events that matter, and building real relationships with the practitioners and founders shaping the space.

- Own medium-to-large advocacy projects end-to-end, from scoping through delivery, for the AI and agents area.

- Create production-ready reference implementations, starter kits, and demos that show practitioners how to build, evaluate, and govern agents on Databricks , and get them to first value in minutes, not hours.

- Create high-quality educational content , videos, sample notebooks, datasets, tutorials, courseware, and blog posts , and reuse each core asset across formats to reach practitioners wherever they already are.

- Drive awareness and adoption of Databricks AI capabilities through speaking engagements at industry events and conferences.

- Act as a trusted advisor between the AI community and our product teams, and influence roadmap discussions with what you learn.

- Expand and nurture the Databricks AI and ML community by growing meetups and user groups and supporting practitioners in online communities.

- Gather and analyze community feedback to drive continuous improvement of Databricks products and services.

- Mentor and unblock less-experienced advocates in content, demos, and public speaking.

## What we look for

- 5+ years of combined experience as a developer advocate and in a hands-on technical role , software engineer, ML engineer, data scientist, or solutions architect.

- Professional experience actually building and operating AI or ML systems, not only presenting about them.

- Subject matter knowledge of solving AI and ML problems at scale, including agent design, evaluation, and production operations.

- Comprehensive understanding of the Databricks AI ecosystem, including Genie Agents, Genie, MLflow, and Databricks Unity AI Gateway.

- Strong Python skills and fluency with the current agent and ML tooling landscape.

- Based in the Bay Area and genuinely willing to be out in the community on a regular basis, including evenings.

- Active participation and recognized leadership in AI and ML community forums, chats, and meetups , measured by what the community builds with your help, not by follower count.

- A public portfolio of technical work: tutorials, talks, repositories, or sustained community contributions.

- Proven track record in nurturing developer communities, organizing user groups, and facilitating meetups.

- 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, notebooks, and community platforms.

- Adept at collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to align community initiatives with product objectives.
