Developer Advocate (YouTube) - DevOps, Cloud & AI Engineering, on-camera

KodeKloud teaches DevOps, cloud and AI engineering to a few million engineers. Our YouTube channel is how most of them find us. We want one developer advocate to be the face of it.

The job is to learn something new every day and explain it on camera before most people have finished reading the release notes. A new coding agent or AI model ships on Tuesday. By Friday you've installed it, broken it, found out what it's actually good for, and recorded a video that a working engineer would send to their team.

What you'd do

• Present 2-3 videos a week. A mix of fast-turnaround "this just shipped, here's what matters" videos (5-10 min) and deeper hands-on explainers (15-30 min). Plus shorts cut from both.
• Do the hands-on work yourself. Every demo runs on your machine, not in slides. If it breaks on camera, that's often the best part.
• Be first. When something new lands, you're on it the same day and our video is out within 24-48 hours. That's the core of the job.
• Shape the calendar. Spot what's worth covering before it trends. Tell us what to skip.
• Work with our script writer and editors. You'll get drafts for some videos and write others yourself. Either way, what you say has to sound like you.
• Show up live sometimes. Streams, launch-day reactions, the occasional conference.

Who this is for

Someone who already does a version of this job and wants to do it full-time with a team behind them.

• You learn fast and it shows. Your channel, blog or talk history has you covering things within days of release, and getting them right.
• You're an engineer first. You've built real things: AI and LLM apps, coding agents, dev tools, cloud, backend. No specific stack required. You can tell hype from a real change, and you're willing to say which is which on camera.
• You're great on camera. This is non-negotiable. Natural, clear, native-level spoken English. Relaxed, confident, not performing.
• You can deliver. Good pacing, energy that holds for 20 minutes, a clean hook and a clean ending, no rambling. You can recover from a broken demo mid-take without losing the viewer.
• You have taste. You know when a video should be 4 minutes and when it should be 40.

Nice to have: an existing audience, DevRel or conference-speaking experience, editing skills, DevOps or cloud background.

Who we want

We've spent years working out what makes technical videos work for engineers: how to open, how to pace a demo, what to cut, how to teach without padding. We have a method, and we'll teach it to you.

You'll bring your own voice and ideas, but we expect you to take feedback on every video and be willing to change how you do things. If you'd rather do it entirely your own way, this isn't the right role.

What we don't want

• A presenter reading a teleprompter about tech they haven't touched.
• Hype. "This changes everything" every week.
• AI-generated scripts. Our audience spots them instantly and leaves.

Side projects

Keep your own channel if you have one, as long as it covers different topics from ours.

How we hire

1. Send us 2-3 links to videos or talks of you explaining something technical. No resume needed at this stage.
2. 1 Hour call with our founder and Head of Marketing. We'll pick something that shipped in the last two weeks and talk about it. No prep.
3. Paid trial ($300): one video, 48 hours.
4. 3-month contract, then full-time via EOR.

Remote. US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland or NZ preferred.
