Engage with the developer community—GitHub issues, Discord, Twitter, wherever they are

Build in public and share what you're working on

Who You Are

3+ years as a software engineer, devrel, or similar technical role

You ship side projects and genuinely enjoy building things

You can write—technical content that's clear, concise, and helpful

You're comfortable on camera or willing to get there (demos, walkthroughs, etc.)

You have opinions about what makes good developer experience

You're active in the developer community—open source, Twitter, blogs, whatever your thing is
