Accountabilities:

• • Build and maintain production-quality reference implementations, including MCP servers, authenticated configurations, agentic workflows, and other examples that developers can confidently adapt for real-world use.
  • Create clear, technically rigorous educational content through blog posts, documentation, demonstrations, conference talks, livestreams, podcasts, and video.
  • Own the technical side of video content, determining what to build and demonstrating complex workflows in an engaging and accessible format.
  • Serve as a practitioner-facing representative at conferences, community events, livestreams, and within Python, AI, MCP, and developer communities.
  • Work directly with product and engineering teams to explain evolving products and capabilities while they are still being developed.
  • Act as an early and demanding user of the platform by identifying usability issues, documentation gaps, bugs, and developer experience opportunities, then contributing fixes and improvements where appropriate.
  • Translate community feedback, developer challenges, emerging trends, and product friction into actionable recommendations for engineering and product teams.
