About the Role
LaunchDarkly is looking for a Senior Developer Advocate to turn signups into successful teams. You'll be the human on the other side of that signup: the Growth team identifies and routes high-intent leads, and you turn them into activated, successful users through genuinely helpful, personalized outreach, while building AI-assisted workflows that extend the same help to everyone else.
Responsibilities
- Activate high-intent signups: own the strategy for follow-up on trial and developer-tier signups, prioritizing ICP-fit enterprise trials; help them get an SDK live, find the right resources, and reach real usage.
- Help first, always: outreach means solving problems (a stuck install, the right tutorial, a working example in their stack), personalized to what each team is actually doing.
- Build a public voice: create tutorials, videos, and posts under your own name, so developers recognize a helpful practitioner.
- Make the payoff obvious: create first-success content and run sessions and office hours that show customers the outcome they're working toward, and what the platform does beyond flags: experimentation, observability, guarded releases, and AgentControl.
- Multiply yourself with AI: design and build AI-assisted workflows for outreach, next-step suggestions, and usage analysis.
- Feed the loop: own the feedback loop on what’s working, where activation stalls, and which signals actually predict success.
Qualifications
- A technical foundation from a prior role: you've been a developer, a support or solutions engineer, or a customer-facing technologist, and you can credibly troubleshoot an SDK integration.
- Genuine empathy for developers.
- Curiosity about how a business engine works: funnels, activation, conversion.
- Fluent with AI tools: you already build your own workflows and can show them to us.
- Strong communication across formats: writing, video, and live sessions.
- Comfort with ambiguity.
- Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional partners.
- Typically requires a minimum of 8 years of related experience.
Bonus Qualifications
- Developer advocacy or growth experience at a product-led developer tools company.
- An existing audience or content track record.
- Experience working with intent signals, lead scoring, or product analytics.
- Breadth across languages and frameworks.
- Experience building a new developer program.

- Zone 1: San Francisco/Bay Area or NYC Metropolitan Area, Boston, Seattle - $152,900 - $210,210
