About the job

This position is needed to help us inspire and equip a global network of millions of developers who will build the future of customer engagement. The Developer Evangelist specializing in AI technology will define developer relations and build the AI community in the Bay Area, while sustaining a relationship that fuels every developer's journey to know, use and love Twilio. The Developer Evangelist will serve as the regional liaison for local developer communities, build Twilio-powered solutions, such as SMS, Voice and Email, to address developer needs and partner with Marketing, Product and additional cross-functional teams.  The role requires an understanding of the AI developer community and technical knowledge, as well as the ability to take complex ideas and make them accessible in order to inspire creativity through code.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll:

• Help us inspire and equip developers to build with Twilio products and AI technology, ensuring an exceptional developer experience with Twilio.
• Be an active and authentic participant in the developer community wherever they gather online and offline. For many of those developers, you will be "the face" of Twilio -- the person they ping when they need help. They will feel like VIPs because they know you. And when someone who works at Twilio needs to talk to developers in the Bay Area and North America developer community, they'll come to you.
• Attend, plan and speak at in-person and virtual events.
• Write clear and empathetic content that breaks down the complex into the understandable while telling stories with code, equipping developers with knowledge of tools and techniques.
• Navigate cross-functional collaboration and partner within Twilio to align with program and engagement objectives.
• Drive projects independently from inception to completion, outlining key milestones and ensuring deadlines are met.
• Communicate project plans, progress, and outcomes effectively to stakeholders at all levels within the region and across the company.
