About The Position

Join Telnyx’s AEO team as a Developer Advocate, responsible for showing developers and technical buyers what becomes possible when connectivity, compute, and AI run on one network. You’ll build benchmarks, demos, and real-world use cases that put IoT SIM and eSIM, private networking, Edge Compute, and Telnyx Inference to work at the edge. You’ll report to the Director of AEO and join the Developer Relations team’s standups three times a week, so your work stays closely aligned with DevRel while it feeds the content that wins search and AI answers. This role blends developer relations, solutions engineering, and hands-on hardware work, requiring someone who can take a product from a blank repo to a working device in the field, measure how it performs, and turn the result into a demo that makes the advantages of the Telnyx network obvious.

Requirements

• Experience as a developer relations engineer, solutions engineer, or developer advocate, with a public portfolio of demos, sample apps, or talks that developers use.
• Ability to produce polished, high-production YouTube videos, with strong video editing and visual design skills; portfolio should meet the standard of leading developer and technology brands.
• Exceptional writing and research skills, creating original, people-first content grounded in firsthand experience and expertise.
• Hands-on development skills writing, testing, and debugging C/C++ and Python for devices, plus JavaScript/TypeScript or Go for cloud and edge apps, including with AI-assisted tools such as Claude Code or Codex.
• Hands-on experience with cellular or IoT connectivity, such as SIM and eSIM provisioning, APNs, or LTE-M/NB-IoT devices.
• Proven experience designing and running benchmarks, with a rigorous and honest approach to methodology.
• Solid grasp of networking fundamentals, including BGP, IPsec, VPCs, and cloud interconnects.
• Working knowledge of LLM inference and AI application patterns, such as model serving, streaming, and agent tool use.
• Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
• An operator mentality and ability to ship working demos quickly.
• Experience in a developer relations or solutions engineering role at an IoT, networking, telecom, or cloud company.
• Familiarity with data residency, privacy, and security requirements in regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, or the public sector.
• Experience presenting live demos at conferences, meetups, or on video.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment with high autonomy.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience with Raspberry Pi, ESP32, cellular modems, or MQTT; published projects or repositories are a plus.
• Familiarity with SEO or how AI answer engines cite content.

Responsibilities

• Design and run repeatable benchmarks for latency, throughput, reliability, and cost across Telnyx Inference, Edge Compute, and connectivity, and publish methodology and results developers can reproduce.
• Build and operate working deployments on real hardware with Telnyx IoT SIM and eSIM installed, such as cellular modems, gateways, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32, and show them in action in the field, with some travel for field demos and events.
• Create reference demos combining connectivity, private networking, Edge Compute, and Telnyx Inference to show what businesses can build when AI runs close to their devices and users.
• Build demos showing how teams can meet compliance requirements through configuration, including in-region inference, data residency, zero data retention, and private connectivity.
• Publish working sample apps, starter kits, and GitHub repositories, and keep them tested against current APIs, SDKs, and firmware.
• Present demos through videos, livestreams, workshops, meetups, and conferences, and partner with Content to turn builds into tutorials and posts.
• Use new products and bring field feedback and friction points from GitHub, Discord, Reddit, and X back to Product and Engineering.

Benefits

• Learning-focused culture with access to tools, training, and mentorship.
• Collaborative, driven, and supportive team that celebrates wins together.
• Hands-on access to the network, GPUs, and edge infrastructure Telnyx owns end to end.
