Job Description
Developer Advocate
Backblaze
• Create technical content that teaches developers how to build with Backblaze B2: tutorials, sample applications, reference architectures, blog posts, and short-form video • Build and publish working code examples and demos — especially for AI/ML workflows (training data pipelines, model artifact storage, inference infrastructure), media workflows, and application storage • Contribute to and improve developer documentation, SDKs, and quickstart guides • Translate what you’re hearing from developers into actionable product feedback for Engineering and Product • Be genuinely present in the developer communities where our users live — social media, Discord, Slack, GitHub, and elsewhere • Represent Backblaze at developer events: speak, demo, show up, and be worth talking to. We attend conferences across AI/ML, media, cloud infrastructure, and startup ecosystems • Build relationships in the AI/ML, media, and cloud infrastructure developer communities that generate inbound awareness for Backblaze • Support Flamethrower startup cohort members in getting to production faster — answer technical questions, sanity-check architectures, and document patterns worth sharing broadly • Work closely with the Director of Startup & Developer Relations, as well as our product team, lifecycle marketing, and product marketing to identify common technical blockers and create content that removes them • Partner with Marketing on ecosystem storytelling, technical blog strategy, and developer-facing content • Maintain a consistent feedback loop from developers to Product — surface friction points, integration gaps, and unmet needs
Job Requirements
- 4–7 years of hands-on experience as a software developer or engineer, with meaningful time working with cloud infrastructure and object storage (S3, B2, GCS, or equivalent)
- Direct experience building or integrating AI/ML workflows that involve storage — training data pipelines, model artifact management, inference infrastructure, or similar workloads
- You write working code. You may use AI tools to accelerate it — but you understand what you’re shipping and can explain it to another developer
- An established presence in developer communities — a social following, conference talks, a technical blog, open source contributions, or some combination. We’re not counting followers; we’re looking for signal that you show up and people pay attention
- Strong written communication: you can write a clear technical tutorial and a crisp internal summary with equal ease
- Self-directed — you don’t need a content calendar handed to you to know what to build next
Benefits
- Healthcare for family, including dental and vision
- Competitive compensation and 401K
- RSU grants for full-time employees
- ESPP program
- Flexible vacation policy
- Maternity & paternity leave
- MacBook Pro to use for work, plus a generous stipend to personalize your workstation
- Childcare bonus (human children only)
- Fertility treatment and support
- Learning & development program
- Commuter benefits
- Culture that supports a healthy work-life balance

Principal AI Developer, Experience Architect
SentinelOneSecure your enterprise with the autonomous cybersecurity platform. Endpoint. Cloud. Identity. XDR. Now.
• Architect the AI Engineering Layer • Define the end‑to‑end architecture for AI-augmented development at SentinelOne, centered on enterprise-grade AI coding assistants and LLM platforms integrated with our IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and internal platforms. • Design how large-context LLMs consume our codebase and documentation context so that AI assistance scales safely across hundreds of repos. • Establish reusable patterns for agentic workflows with clear rollback and validation strategies. • Own AI Guardrails, Skills, and Standards • Define and maintain SentinelOne AI Coding Standards and a global skills & requirements framework that all AI coding tools (our chosen AI coding assistants, PR bots, agents) must enforce, including language, framework, security, performance, and reliability patterns. • Translate these standards into prompt templates, tool configurations, and policy‑as‑code so they are enforced automatically rather than via documentation alone. • Partner with InfoSec, Data Governance, and Legal to ensure all AI tooling adheres to SentinelOne’s AI Policies, data residency, and FedRAMP compliance requirements. • Implement AI-Driven Code Review and Safety as Code • Lead the integration of AI-powered code review tools that use AST analysis and static/dynamic checks to enforce style, security, performance, and reliability standards before human review. • Integrate AI review signals with our SRE observability stack (logs, metrics, traces) to correlate code changes with incidents and anomalies, closing the loop from PR to production behavior. • Encode “safety as code” by integrating test coverage, performance scans, and progressive delivery patterns (canaries, blue/green) into AI‑authored change flows. • Lead Vendor Evaluation and Integration • Serve as the principal technical owner for AI developer tooling evaluations using structured evaluation criteria and data-driven analysis. • Work closely with the DevEx leadership and TPM to design and run POCs, define technical success criteria, and produce executive‑ready recommendations. • Ensure all vendors meet SentinelOne’s security, privacy, and data governance standards. • Drive Developer Adoption and Experience • Act as the technical face of AI DevEx to engineering: publish guidance, patterns, and internal frameworks that make AI tooling a seamless part of everyday work rather than a side experiment. • Partner with the AI Champions Network and Learning & Development to define curricula, hands-on labs, and “day‑in‑the‑life” workflows that level up prompt engineering and AI‑assisted development skills across developer organizations. • Collaborate across the SentinelOne developer community to translate adoption and productivity signals into DORA metrics and ROI narratives that are credible to Engineering Leadership, Finance, and the CFO. • Partner on Reliability, Metrics, and Governance • Work with SRE and Reliability Engineering to ensure AI‑accelerated delivery improves MTTR, CFR, and SLO performance. • Participate in the DevEx governance model to prioritize initiatives, manage risk, and align AI DevEx roadmaps with company objectives. • Own the engineering intelligence dashboards and leadership reports to surface the impact of AI tooling on developer productivity metrics.
