This is a builder-and-influencer role combining hands-on development with technical credibility and reach. You will create polished agentic AI applications, reference demos, and developer workflows showcasing SambaCloud capabilities.

- Demonstrated ability to earn attention and engage technical audiences through developer communities and social platforms
- Strong on-camera, live presentation, writing, and technical storytelling skills
- Fluency in the AI developer ecosystem with genuine curiosity about models, agent patterns, tools, and infrastructure tradeoffs
