Job Description
Developer Advocate engaging the Dapr community and creating content for Diagrid. Collaborating with teams to enhance developer's experience with distributed systems and AI agents.
Responsibilities:
- Grow the Dapr OSS Community: Drive contributor growth, engagement, and adoption metrics across GitHub, Discord, and other channels.
- Moderate & Nurture the Ecosystem: Actively moderate the Dapr Discord (and future community platforms), answer technical questions, recognize contributors, and foster a welcoming, high-signal environment.
- Create Compelling Content: Write high-quality blog posts for the Dapr blog and Diagrid Catalyst, produce tutorials, architectural guides, and sample applications showcasing Dapr + AI agents, workflows, state management, service invocation, and more.
- Lead Webinars & Live Sessions: Proactively plan and deliver technical webinars, workshops, and live demos on a regular cadence.
- Manage YouTube & Video Presence: Own the Dapr/Diagrid YouTube channel — script, record, edit, and publish videos, demos, and recordings of community events.
- Coordinate Events & Meetups: Help organize and host Dapr Meetups, Dapr Days, conference talks, and community events in the Bay Area and globally (with travel as needed).
- Build Diagrid Demos & Tools: Create sample applications, starters, and reference architectures that demonstrate best practices for Dapr in production and AI agent use cases.
- Gather Feedback & Influence Product: Act as the voice of the developer community — surface friction points, feature requests, and success stories to Engineering and Product teams.
- Represent Diagrid publicly: Speak at conferences, participate in podcasts, engage on social media (X, LinkedIn, etc.), and be a trusted advocate for Dapr and Diagrid.
Requirements:
- Have prior Developer Relations, Developer Advocate, or Community Manager experience.
- Have 5+ years of software engineering experience, with strong hands-on knowledge of distributed systems, cloud-native technologies, Kubernetes, or microservices.

- Love creating content and have a track record of blogs, videos, talks, or open-source contributions that gained traction.
- Excel at community building — you’ve moderated Discords/Slack, grown OSS projects, or run successful meetup groups.
- Are a strong communicator who can explain complex topics (stateful workflows, actor models, sidecar architecture, LLM orchestration) clearly and enthusiastically.
- Enjoy shipping code publicly and building demos with Python, Go, TypeScript, or .NET.
- Thrive in a fast-moving startup environment with high ownership and evolving priorities.
- Are based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
