Do you love getting hands-on with ML hardware acceleration and sharing your passion for open-source AI with the broader developer community?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Principal Developer Advocate to join the Annapurna Labs team. AWS Machine Learning accelerators are at the forefront of AWS innovation. The Inferentia chip delivers best-in-class ML inference performance at the lowest cost in cloud. Trainium will deliver the best-in-class ML training performance with the most teraflops (TFLOPS) of compute power for ML in the cloud. This is all enabled by our software stack, the AWS Neuron Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes an ML compiler, runtime and natively integrates into popular ML frameworks including PyTorch. In this role, you will be the external face of AWS in ML hardware acceleration, combining deep technical expertise, strategic vision, and authentic community engagement to drive awareness, trust, and adoption of Trainium and the Neuron SDK across the global ML developer ecosystem.
Ideally, you come from a software engineering, ML research, or systems performance background — but you love being on stage, on screen, or in the open-source community guiding developers toward technologies you believe in. You have immediate credibility with ML practitioners, researchers, and performance engineers. You are excited about open-source AI, hardware-software co-design, and the future of ML infrastructure. You exhibit strong judgment in selecting strategic opportunities and can operate with full independence across multiple technical communities.
Key job responsibilities
- Creating and maintaining relevant content (demos, videos, blogs, podcasts, livestreams, etc), covering AWS Trainium and the Neuron SDK along with emerging technologies and industry developments.
- Gaining industry recognition and credibility as a regular attendee and speaker at third party technology conferences, shows and press events.
- Curating, developing and delivering compelling presentations to help drive awareness and adoption of AWS Trainium.
- Maintaining a credible presence in social media.
- Ability to travel (including internationally when needed) and ability to work autonomously.
A day in the life
As a technical champion, you'll create and deliver content that makes Trainium and the Neuron SDK accessible, credible, and compelling to ML developers worldwide — from getting-started tutorials to deep-dive kernel optimization guides. As a community builder, you'll engage with ML practitioners, researchers, and performance engineers to understand their challenges, represent their voice internally, and translate community insights into product roadmap impact. As an ecosystem strategist, you'll build long-term partnerships with key open-source projects and communities, co-develop integrations, and ensure Trainium is a visible and credible option wherever ML developers make hardware decisions.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Developer Advocate Jobs
Map your degree to the role
Developer Advocate positions require a degree in computer science, engineering, or a directly related technical field to qualify as a specialty occupation. Pull the O*NET profile for Developer Advocate roles to confirm the education benchmark before applying.
Verify prevailing wage before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your job zone and location. Run the OFLC Wage Search for Developer Advocate or Software Developer SOC codes in your target metro before you enter salary discussions.
Search verified H-1B1 sponsors on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Developer Advocate roles by employers with confirmed H-1B1 Singapore filing history. This cuts out companies that sponsor H-1B visa generally but haven't navigated the H-1B1 Singapore-specific consular process.
Target companies enrolled in E-Verify
STEM-forward tech employers required to use E-Verify are already set up for compliant work authorization onboarding. For a consular visa like H-1B1 visa Singapore, E-Verify enrollment signals the employer has immigration infrastructure beyond a one-off hire.
Get the LCA certified before your interview date
Unlike H-1B, there's no USCIS I-129 petition for H-1B1 Singapore. The employer files the LCA with DOL, and you present the certified copy at your consular interview. Confirm your employer understands this sequence early in the offer stage.
Prepare a technical portfolio demonstrating specialty knowledge
Consular officers assess whether Developer Advocate work genuinely requires a specialty degree. Bring documentation of technical depth: published API documentation, conference talks, or open-source contributions that show your role goes beyond generalist marketing or community management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Developer Advocate role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Singapore?
Yes, if the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a closely related technical field. The role must demonstrate that specialized knowledge is a baseline requirement, not a preference. Developer Advocate positions at software or API-driven companies typically meet this standard, but roles framed as marketing or community management without a technical degree requirement may not.
How does H-1B1 Singapore differ from H-1B for Developer Advocate candidates?
H-1B1 Singapore skips the lottery and USCIS petition entirely. You apply directly at the consulate in Singapore once your employer's LCA is DOL-certified. The annual cap is 5,400 visas and has never been exhausted, so timing isn't driven by registration windows. The trade-off is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, meaning you can't simultaneously pursue permanent residence while on H-1B1 status.
How do I find Developer Advocate employers who have sponsored H-1B1 Singapore before?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by employers with documented H-1B1 Singapore filing history, so you're not cold-pitching companies unfamiliar with the consular process. This matters for Developer Advocate roles because many smaller tech companies sponsor H-1B broadly but haven't worked through the Singapore-specific LCA and consulate pathway before.
Can my employer file the LCA and get consular approval quickly for a Developer Advocate role?
DOL typically certifies an LCA within seven business days of submission. Once certified, you can schedule your consular interview in Singapore. Processing at the consulate is generally faster than USCIS petition adjudication, and most straightforward Developer Advocate cases with complete documentation are approved at the interview window without administrative processing delays.
What documentation should I bring to prove specialty occupation at the consulate?
Bring your certified LCA, the job offer letter specifying the technical degree requirement, your academic transcripts and degree certificate, and evidence of your technical work such as published documentation, code repositories, or recorded technical presentations. The consular officer needs to confirm the role genuinely requires specialized knowledge, so concrete artifacts of your technical output strengthen the case significantly.
