Developer Advocate

We believe that open-source software, open standards and APIs are the greatest transformational tools for organizations in the modern software development era.

Our mission at Diagrid is to provide developers with APIs and tools that help them focus on their code and not on infrastructure. As online digital services need to handle more load and run on multiple clouds or on-premises environments, programming to higher level abstractions delivers consistent, secure and reliable code that is easily portable and helps organizations de-risk their projects.

Diagrid is founded by the creators of the Dapr and KEDA open-source projects, and who led the user experience, design and development of hyper-scale infrastructure cloud services, serverless platforms and open-source projects at Microsoft. Dapr has now achieved graduated status within the CNCF, joining renowned projects like Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Istio.

We are backed by top VC firms and supported with industry leading investors and advisors including Joe Beda (Kubernetes Co-Founder, former Co-Founder / CTO at Heptio) Matt Klein (Creator of Envoy, Lyft), Mark Russinovich (CTO, Microsoft Azure), William Morgan (Creator of Linkerd, CEO Buoyant), Seth Vargo (Senior Staff Engineer, Google), Adam Gross (Former CEO, Heroku), Sri Viswanath (Former CTO, Atlassian), Adam Frankl (Dev Marketing Expert, Neo4J & JFrog), and Roopak Venkatakrishnan (Head of platforms, Bolt).

The Developer Experience team at Diagrid is obsessed with making distributed applications radically simpler and more reliable for developers worldwide. We steward the wildly popular open-source Dapr project (CNCF) while driving adoption of Diagrid’s commercial platform (Diagrid Catalyst) that brings production-grade reliability and security for AI agents.

Our mission is to make AI agents reliable and secure for the Dapr and Diagrid community. We create inspiring demos, technical content, events, and tools that turn developers into advocates and help them ship faster, more resilient systems.

As a Developer Advocate based in india, you will be the public face and community heartbeat of Dapr and Diagrid. You’ll own community growth, content creation, and developer engagement end-to-end. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who loves coding in public, building communities, and turning complex distributed systems + AI agent concepts into approachable, delightful experiences.

You will report work closely with Engineering, Product, Marketing, Sales, and the broader open-source maintainer team.
