Join Vonage and help us innovate cloud communications for businesses worldwide!

Vonage Communications APIs:

As an emerging leader in the $10B+ communications API market, we empower global brands to connect better with their customers, employees, and partners through transformative communications experiences. For example, Vonage API solutions empower organizations to build their custom omnichannel communications structure. This allows them to reach and engage customers on their preferred schedule and channel — including voice, video, and messaging. Think of a rideshare service instantly connecting with customers, hospital staff conducting remote monitoring, customers verifying their identity before completing a purchase, AI virtual agents servicing customers around the clock, and much more.

Why this role matters:

We're looking for a Developer Advocate (Android) to join the Vonage Developer Relations team and drive the successful adoption of our APIs on mobile platforms.

In this strategic role, you'll lead developer experience initiatives for our mobile platform, helping to create tools and resources that ensure users can quickly and painlessly build with our Video, Voice, and Network APIs. Your work will be crucial in helping developers leverage our video and voice APIs, and other APIs effectively, combining technical expertise with strategic insight to drive platform adoption and usage.

You will be the bridge between our engineering teams, product management, and the developer community, ensuring our mobile products and SDKs are accessible and effectively implemented. You'll focus on creating reference implementations (e.g., Android sample applications), developer resources that showcase the power and scalability of our platform, and migration tools while facilitating smooth transitions from legacy systems.

Your key responsibilities:

Technical Content: Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, code samples (Kotlin/Java), and tutorials that demonstrate best practices for API implementation on Vonage's APIs on Android.
Community Education: Host webinars, workshops, and hackathons to educate developers on building and scaling mobile-driven solutions.
Documentation Tools: Develop and maintain tools that help keep API documentation current, including automated testing of code samples and integration examples.
Product Feedback: Gather and analyze developer feedback to identify opportunities for tooling improvements and new automation solutions.
Cross-team Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Support teams to ensure tooling aligns with platform capabilities and developer needs.
