The ideal candidate will have an established presence in the AI, data movement, or Python development communities and experience working with AI-powered systems.

• Content Creation:
  • Create engaging, high-quality technical content (YouTube tutorials, conference talks, blog posts, live coding sessions, and webinars) that demonstrates the value of Airbyte in data and AI-driven applications.
  • Develop video tutorials on topics such as integrating Airbyte with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate), deploying AI agents, and optimizing LLM-powered data pipelines.
• Community Engagement:
  • Actively engage with the AI, data engineer, and open-source developer communities (GitHub, Stack Overflow, Reddit, Slack, Discord, etc.).
  • Provide guidance and support to data engineers and AI practitioners using Airbyte for data movement, analysis, and AI agent workflows.
  • Identify community pain points and relay feedback to the product and engineering teams to improve the developer experience.
• Technical Enablement:
  • Build sample projects, proof-of-concept demos, and open-source contributions to demonstrate Airbyte's capabilities in powering AI agents, similarity search, and data movement use cases.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to ensure documentation is developer-friendly and highlights AI-specific use cases.
• Advocacy and Public Speaking:
  • Represent Airbyte at industry conferences, webinars, and workshops focused on AI, LLMs, and data engineering.
  • Advocate for best practices in building AI-driven pipelines, integrating LLMs with real-time data, and leveraging vector databases within the community.
• Partnership Development:
  • Collaborate with ecosystem partners (vector database providers, LLM platforms, cloud services, and open-source projects) to create joint content and developer initiatives.

• Experience in Developer Advocacy: 5+ years of experience in developer advocacy, technical evangelism, or similar roles.
• Content Creation Expertise: Proven experience creating and publishing technical content, especially video tutorials on platforms like YouTube.
• Technical Skills: Strong programming skills in Python, frontend data visualization frameworks like Streamlit, and familiarity with AI agents, LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic), vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, PGVector, Milvus), and data integration workflows.
• Community Presence: An established presence in the AI, data movement, open-source, or Python community (e.g., blog, YouTube channel, GitHub contributions, conference talks).
