About the job

As a Senior Developer Advocate for Omnigent, you'll be a vital bridge between our engineering teams and the open source community forming around Omnigent, our meta-harness for AI agents. Omnigent sits one level above harnesses like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Pi, giving developers a common interface to compose agents, govern them with contextual policies, sandboxing, and cost controls, and collaborate on live sessions from any device. Your focus is squarely on the open source project and the community around it: templates, demos, and reference implementations that developers can clone, fork, and extend, and the contributors who will help the project grow beyond us.

Responsibilities

Own medium-to-large advocacy projects end-to-end for Omnigent, from scoping through delivery.

Grow the Omnigent contributor community: lower the barrier to a first contribution, review and triage in the open, and help new maintainers take on real responsibility.

Drive external adoption by showing developers how to integrate Omnigent into their existing agent stacks and their own products.

Create practical templates, sample repositories, and reference implementations that developers can clone, fork, and ship.

Create high-quality educational content — videos, tutorials, courseware, and blog posts — covering harness composition, contextual policies, sandboxing, and cost controls.

Drive awareness and adoption of Omnigent through speaking engagements at industry events, conferences, and meetups.

Act as a trusted advisor between the community and our engineering team, and influence roadmap discussions with what you learn.

Support developers where they already are — GitHub issues, Discord, Slack, Stack Overflow, and Reddit — and keep a real pulse on what's blocking them.

Mentor and unblock less-experienced advocates in content, demos, and public speaking.

Qualifications

Minimum

5+ years of combined experience as a developer advocate and in a hands-on technical role — software engineer, ML engineer, or solutions architect.

Professional experience actually building software, and current hands-on experience with agentic developer tooling and coding agents.

Strong Python and TypeScript skills, and comfort at the command line and in other people's codebases.

Demonstrated experience contributing to open source projects and working in the open — issues, pull requests, reviews, and release processes.

Subject matter knowledge of agent architecture, orchestration, sandboxing, and the practical problems of running agents safely and affordably.

Experience growing a contributor community, not just a user base.

Active participation and recognized leadership in open source community forums, chats, and meetups.

A public portfolio of technical work: repositories, tutorials, talks, or sustained community contributions.

Exceptional communication skills, with a talent for articulating complex concepts through writing, teaching, video, and public speaking.

Deep empathy for developer needs, with the ability to craft engaging experiences across tutorials, sample projects, and community platforms.

Adept at collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to align community initiatives with product objectives.
