About Sent
Sent is an infrastructure for sending A2P messages across SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS through a single unified API. Our intelligent routing model automates channel selection based on deliverability and cost, ensuring lower cost and global reach without any channel-specific integrations.
We recently closed a $12M Series A backed by Companyon Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, UIF, and others. We're hiring to build the best infrastructure to replace multi-channel messaging stacks.
The Role
We're hiring a Developer advocate to be the technical voice of Sent among developers. The job is to produce a steady stream of technical content, code, demos, posts, videos, talks, and to engage with developers where they actually hang out: Hacker News, X, Reddit, Discord servers, GitHub.
You'll write the tutorial that ranks for "how to send WhatsApp from Node.js." You'll attend events, conferences, hackathons, and host some in-house. You'll build the demo that gets passed around in a Slack channel. You'll be in the comments when someone asks how Sent compares to Twilio, and you'll have a useful answer ready.
What you'll do
Publish technical content on a regular cadence: tutorials, comparison posts, deep dives, working demos, sample apps
Maintain a strong personal presence on X, YouTube, Linkedin, other dev media channels, building an audience of developers who care about messaging infrastructure
Show up at developer conferences and meetups, sometimes speaking, sometimes running a booth, sometimes both
Host and co-host events and strategic hackathons, embedding Sent in the dev ecosystem
Own the SDK and quickstart developer experience end to end, and feed friction back to engineering
Run office hours, livestreams, or whatever format works to get builders engaged with the product
What you bring
At least 4 years working as a developer, with at least 1-2 of those years in DevRel, developer marketing, or as a public-facing technical IC
You ship code. You can build a working integration in a weekend and write up how you did it on Monday
A real portfolio of public technical content: blog posts, repos, talks, videos, or a following you've built yourself
Strong writing. You can explain a webhook signature flow without making the reader want to die
Comfort with messaging, telecom, or API infrastructure is a plus but not required
Our Commitment to You
Meaningful equity with high growth potential
Top-tier medical, dental, vision fully covered
401(k) with 100% match up to 4%
Unlimited PTO
New MacBook Pro + Apple Studio Display
Equinox membership stipend
Sent, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences.

Tips for Your Senior Developer Advocate Job Search
Quantify your community impact on your resume
Hiring managers for senior developer advocate roles want to see concrete outcomes, not just activities. List the size of communities you grew, events you ran, or documentation you wrote that measurably reduced support tickets or increased SDK adoption.
Build a public technical content portfolio
Your blog posts, conference talks, YouTube tutorials, and GitHub repos are your portfolio. Link to them from your resume header. Employers will review these before your interview, so curate the pieces that show both technical depth and clear explanation.
Target companies at the right product stage
Developer advocate roles at early-stage startups focus on building community from scratch, while mature platforms need advocates who can scale existing programs. Identify which stage you thrive in and filter your search accordingly to avoid mismatched expectations.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists senior developer advocate openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a live technical demo for interviews
Most senior developer advocate interviews include a mock talk or demo where you explain a technical concept to a mixed audience. Practice delivering a five-minute walkthrough of a real API or SDK you know well, ending with a clear developer call to action.
Negotiate scope and travel expectations upfront
Conference travel, community event budgets, and internal engineering access vary widely across companies. Ask specific questions about these during the offer stage, not after you start, so your workload and resources match what you agreed to.
Senior Developer Advocate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most senior developer advocates?
The companies hiring the most senior developer advocates right now include Databricks, Viam, and sent, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Arizona, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Cloud platforms, developer-tools startups, and enterprise API companies consistently account for the highest volume of senior-level openings in this role.
How many senior developer advocate jobs are remote?
About 90% of senior developer advocate openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, making it one of the more location-flexible senior technical roles available. Sub-specializations focused on content creation, documentation, and online community management tend to skew most remote, while roles centered on regional event strategy or in-person developer relations often require a home base near a major tech market.
How do you become a senior developer advocate?
Start by building genuine engineering experience so you can speak credibly to developer pain points. Create public technical content consistently, whether through a blog, open-source contributions, or conference talks, to develop an audience and a visible portfolio. Move into a junior or mid-level developer advocate role, grow measurable community outcomes, and take on cross-functional projects like SDK launches or documentation overhauls that demonstrate senior-level scope and judgment.
Can you get hired as a senior developer advocate with limited experience in the role?
Yes, if you can demonstrate the outcomes the role produces even without the official title. Candidates who have run technical workshops, maintained open-source projects with active contributor communities, authored widely read documentation, or presented at developer conferences are regularly considered for senior roles even without a formal developer advocate background. Focus your application materials on the impact and scale of those activities rather than the job title you held at the time.
What does the senior developer advocate interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical conversation to assess depth in the company's stack or API surface. A live or recorded mock talk or demo comes next, where you explain a technical concept to a mixed audience of engineers and non-engineers. Final rounds usually include a strategic discussion about community programs, cross-functional stakeholder interviews with product and engineering leaders, and sometimes a written or recorded content sample review.
