What is a Cloud Developer Advocate?

A Cloud Developer Advocate is a technology professional who acts as a bridge between cloud platform providers and the developer community. Their primary role is to help developers understand, use, and succeed with cloud services and tools. They engage with developers through events, content creation, open source projects, and direct support, while also gathering feedback to help improve cloud products. By promoting best practices and advocating for developers within their organizations, Cloud Developer Advocates play a key role in building thriving cloud ecosystems.

What does a Cloud Developer Advocate do?

Cloud Developer Advocates play a crucial role in bridging the gap between cloud platform teams and the broader developer community. They often collaborate closely with internal engineers and product managers to relay feedback, suggest improvements, and help shape product roadmaps based on real-world developer needs. Externally, they engage by hosting webinars, writing technical blogs, answering questions at conferences, and contributing to open-source projects. This dual engagement ensures that the platform evolves in a way that genuinely supports its users while keeping the advocate deeply involved in both technical and community-facing activities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Cloud Developer Advocate?

To thrive as a Cloud Developer Advocate, you need a solid background in cloud computing, software development, and a strong understanding of cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, often supported by relevant certifications. Familiarity with APIs, CI/CD pipelines, containerization tools such as Docker or Kubernetes, and developer community engagement platforms is typically required. Exceptional communication, public speaking, and relationship-building skills help advocates connect with both developers and stakeholders. These skills are vital for effectively translating technical concepts, fostering community engagement, and driving adoption of cloud technologies.

What is the difference between Cloud Developer Advocate vs Cloud Solutions Engineer?

AI Development Advocate

EBSCO Information Services

Birmingham, AL • Remote

Full-time

Posted 9 days ago


Job description

Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, Moultrie (www.moultrie.com) is the leader in game feeders and cellular camera innovation, building products used by hunters, property owners, and others for real-time remote monitoring.

We take pride in developing deep user understanding, obsessing about the details, and going the extra mile to show our users we love them. Moultrie is customer-driven - hardware, software, marketing, and customer success teams collaborate to deliver a quality user experience.

We are guided by the following principles: Customer Obsession.; Excellence is the Standard.; Bias for Action.; Act Boldly.; Deliver Results.; Hire and Develop the Best.; Be Curious and Learn.; Win as a Team

Job Summary

The AI Development Advocate is a strategic, hands-on leader responsible for scaling AI-driven developer productivity across the organization. Serving as Moultrie's internal Developer Relations (DevRel) lead for AI, this role owns the end-to-end strategy and execution for transitioning our software development teams to an AI agent-first model. Think of it as an internal Developer Experience (DX) function: your customers are our engineers, and your success is measured by their productivity, confidence, and depth of AI adoption. Your mandate is to maximize AI impact at scale, from onboarding new teams to advancing the most experienced practitioners.

You will set the strategic direction for AI-assisted development at Moultrie while remaining deeply hands-on, building tools, running workshops, unblocking teams, and leading by example. This role bridges cutting-edge AI capabilities and practical software delivery, scaling enablement through a combination of direct support, structured programs, and an internal Champions community. Success here requires equal parts technical credibility, program discipline, and the ability to inspire engineers at every level to work in fundamentally new ways.

Job Responsibilities
  • Define and own the organization-wide strategy for AI agent-first development: setting direction, establishing adoption milestones, and driving a measurable, lasting shift in how developers design and ship software.
  • Build and maintain internal tooling, reference implementations, and proof-of-concept workflows that demonstrate how AI agents can accelerate development tasks such as code generation, code review, testing, and documentation.
  • Provide hands-on technical support to engineering teams encountering issues with AI tools, agent workflows, prompt engineering, or LLM integration; serving as the first point of escalation for AI-related blockers.
  • Design and execute AI onboarding plans for engineering teams (including initial setup, role-specific training, and structured ramp programs) and provide ongoing guidance as AI development capabilities rapidly evolve.
  • Build feedback loops between engineering teams and tech leadership, synthesizing adoption blockers, tool gaps, and team needs into actionable recommendations.
  • Build and grow an internal AI Champions community by identifying and enabling enthusiastic early adopters within each team to serve as peer advocates, accelerate grassroots adoption, and scale enablement beyond what a single advocate can reach.
  • Define and track AI adoption metrics across teams, measuring tool usage, productivity impact, and developer confidence over time.
  • Partner with product and engineering leadership to identify high-value use cases for AI agent automation within the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from code generation and review to testing and deployment.
  • Monitor the AI tool ecosystem and maintain awareness of the latest agentic frameworks, LLM capabilities, and developer tooling trends to ensure our teams remain current and competitive.
  • Own AI governance and cost controls, establishing usage policies, license management, spend visibility, and guardrails that ensure responsible and cost-effective AI adoption across the engineering organization.
Job Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of hands-on software development experience, with a strong foundation in modern software engineering practices.
  • Demonstrable hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (including GitHub Copilot) to improve personal and team productivity in a professional software development context.
  • Proficiency in .NET, Java, or a similar language; comfortable writing, reviewing, and guiding production-quality code across engineering teams.
  • Experience creating and delivering technical presentations, workshops, or training sessions to developer audiences.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and integrating AI services into software pipelines and CI/CD workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced experience with GitHub Copilot, including Copilot Chat, Copilot for CLI, and agent-mode workflows; familiarity with GitHub Copilot administration and license management.
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering techniques and AI agent patterns as applied to developer productivity use cases (e.g., code generation, automated testing, documentation, code review).
  • Prior experience in a Developer Relations (DevRel), Developer Experience (DX), technical enablement, or internal engineering advocacy role, with a track record of driving tool adoption and improving the developer experience at scale.
  • Strong technical writing skills: able to produce internal documentation, how-to guides, and best-practice references that engineers will actually use.
  • Demonstrated experience driving technology adoption and organizational change within engineering organizations.
  • Ability to coach and mentor engineers at all levels on AI tooling, agentic patterns, and evolving best practices.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience, with access to cutting-edge AI tooling and infrastructure.
  • Full-time position with a front-row seat to our AI transformation across all engineering teams.
  • Collaborative, cross-functional environment with high visibility to engineering leadership and direct impact on developer productivity.
