Sr Platform Developer- backend

Great platforms do not sell themselves, even inside a company. Developers adopt the tools their peers show them: in a meetup, in a demo, in a doc that finally makes something click. Intuit is hiring a Senior Developer Advocate in Bengaluru to be that peer for our India engineering community, one of Intuit's largest engineering hubs. You will join the Technical Product Marketing and Developer Advocacy team inside Developer Relations, focused on the platform capabilities developers rely on every day: observability, incident management, DevOps practices such as traffic management and progressive delivery, API management, and data platforms. Your job is to make these tools easier to discover, easier to onboard to, and genuinely adopted in real workflows.
This is a hands on builder role. You will run meetups and workshops, partner with local platform teams, create the content developers learn from (docs, tutorials, sample projects, and videos), and work on exciting developer projects that show platform capabilities in action. Just as importantly, you will advocate in the other direction: gathering what developers need and championing it with platform product and engineering teams.
The ideal candidate is a strong backend engineer who loves teaching, presenting, and building in public, with real empathy for the day to day experience of fellow developers.
