Trusted globally by thousands of organizations, Tiger accelerates real-time insights, drives intelligent applications, and powers critical infrastructure at scale. As a globally distributed, remote-first team committed to direct communication, accountability, and collaborative excellence, we're shaping the future of data infrastructure, built for speed, flexibility, and simplicity. Senior Developer Advocate (AI) You’re a builder at heart who thrives in the community. At 9am, you might be polishing a demo that shows how TigerData powers RAG at scale. By lunchtime, you’re writing a quick blog post about it. That night? You’re at a Bay Area meetup, laptop open, helping developers troubleshoot their AI projects. We’re looking for someone hungry to grow their impact — a hands-on advocate who wants to make TigerData the database developers think of when they think of AI. Reporting to the Head of Developer Advocacy & Docs, you’ll be out in the community building trust, sparking momentum, and inspiring developers in the Bay Area and beyond. Location requirement: Bay Area — you’ll represent TigerData at local meetups, hackathons, and community events, in addition to global conferences. What you will be responsible for in this role • Represent TigerData at Bay Area and global events, meetups, hackathons, and conferences. • Build and share demos, tutorials, and code samples showcasing TigerData’s AI features (vector search, RAG, real-time analytics). • Publish developer content — blogs, talks, videos, workshops — that inspire builders and grow adoption. • Partner with product and engineering to shape the developer experience for AI workloads. • Act as a bridge between the developer community and our internal teams, surfacing insights and influencing roadmap. • Experiment with new ideas and formats to reach and excite developers — from streams to hackathons to collabs. You could be a great fit if you… • Have 5+ years of experience in developer advocacy, developer relations, or engineering roles with strong community exposure. • Have built with AI/LLMs — RAG frameworks, vector databases, or AI-powered apps — and love teaching others how. • Thrive in community spaces: you light up when you’re teaching, coding live, or helping someone debug at a hackathon. • Are comfortable coding and teaching in Python, Go, or JavaScript (and ideally SQL/Postgres). • Are a self-starter who hustles — measuring impact in developer adoption and engagement, not just vanity metrics. • Have started to build your own voice in the developer ecosystem (talks, blogs, OSS, or meetups) and want to grow it further. • Must be able to attend local events with occasional travel You might not be a great fit if… • You prefer to stay behind the scenes instead of being a visible external voice. • You want a rigid playbook — we’re looking for someone who helps write it. • You’re risk-averse or shy away from experimenting in public. • You only want to work on polished projects — we move fast, publish in-progress ideas, and learn in public. Our Commitment: • We respond to every applicant. • We review applications fairly and objectively, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience. • We ensure clear and timely communication throughout your candidate journey. • We maintain a rigorous interview process with a high bar, designed to give you the opportunity to meet various team members you'll collaborate with across our organization.
