Key Responsibilities
Developer Advocacy & Technical Evangelism
- Represent Prana Tree at conferences, meetups, universities, and industry forums; deliver talks, panels, and workshops on AI, computer vision, and quantum optimization.
- Create and publish technical content: blogs, tutorials, code samples, demo videos, and “cookbook” recipes that show how to build with Prana Tree’s platforms and partners.
- Build proof-of-concept projects and sample apps that showcase real-world use cases for enterprise AI, visual intelligence, and optimisation.
Hackathons, Events & Conference Program
- Design, host, and run hackathons, bootcamps, builder workshops, and developer days end-to-end (concept, logistics, promotion, judging, follow-up).
- Own Prana Tree’s conference calendar: select events, secure speaking slots, manage booths, coordinate swag/demo kits, and capture content (video snippets, photos, quotes).
- Partner with universities, incubators, accelerators, and developer communities to co-host events and expand reach.
Community Building & Social Media
- Grow and manage Prana Tree’s developer community on *Discord, **GitHub Discussions, **LinkedIn Groups*, and relevant forums; moderate, onboard, and run rituals (AMAs, office hours, challenges).
- Own social media presence: post product video snippets, demo clips, event highlights, and thought-leadership posts on LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.
- Engage authentically in developer groups, answer questions, share code, and surface success stories to build trust and credibility.
Internal Brand & Employee Advocacy
- Increase brand awareness within Prana Tree’s employee pool via internal tech talks, demo days, “build hours,” and recognition programs for employee contributors.
- Equip sales, delivery, and recruiting teams with developer-facing collateral: one-pagers, demo videos, case studies, and talk tracks.
Feedback Loop & Product Influence
- Synthesize developer feedback from events, community channels, and social into structured reports for product and engineering (friction points, feature requests, docs gaps).
- Collaborate with product to improve onboarding, docs, SDKs, and sample code; track time-to-first-success and activation metrics.
