Job Description

Intel's Internet of Things Group runs Intel's Edge/IoT business. Within that group, the Developer Tools + Applications team is building software products to enable AI inference/deep learning, which can be easily leveraged in IoT use cases & solutions, and beyond across enterprise/cloud and PC client. This role sits within the outbound Developer Scale & Product Marketing arm of the organization.

AI inference (at the edge in particular) is driving a technology transformation in IoT, enterprise, and client today. Real-time defect detection on industrial assembly lines, medical diagnosis in hospital equipment, retail shelf stock detection, and vehicle public safety detection in intersections all rely on doing inference based on various computer vision techniques. It's an exciting world to be a developer in this growing field!

On Intel CPUs and hardware accelerators, the software framework which enables this is the OpenVINO Toolkit. This software toolkit has rapidly grown since its launch in June 2018 to be a leading Deep Learning toolkit among developers. Intel has established a transformational initiative to build stronger direct and programmatic relationships with AI inference Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and AI inference developers as critical to our growth. These engagements now need to be supported by our Evangelists.

We are therefore looking to build out an inference software evangelism team to nurture developers, drive deep technical engagement in the developer community, and be the voice of Intel AI Inference software like OpenVINO to developers and for developers back into Intel.

The right person for this job has a passion for how AI can change solution developments in the world of commercial IoT, is a coder who is fluent in deep learning along with the major frameworks such as Tensorflow, and has experience in prior roles supporting developers of a software platform or framework. We need someone who at the same time is a strong communicator with experience presenting in public and influencing business decision-makers at companies around the world. This role will partner closely with engineering, planning, enabling, and marketing teams to drive developer satisfaction and success.

Responsibilities Include but, are not limited to:

* Build and foster developer communities around Intel AI Inference software (e.g., OpenVINO)
* Create transformational initiative to build stronger direct and programmatic relationships with AI Inference ISVs and AI Inference Developers.
* Grow self-sustaining and scalable meetups and user groups.
* Shepherd the open-source community and help ensure it grows healthy and strong.
* Internally advocate for the needs of the developer community, working with product, marketing, and engineering teams to determine features and technology strategy.

* Evangelize the development of community tools and services to accelerate the growth and engagement of developers.
* Work at times directly with customers and prospects to deliver executive-level demonstrations and presentations. Evangelize Intel inferencing software relative to the status quo/alternatives.
* Collaborate with internal developers/documentation team to create, contribute to, and publish technical content.
* Present technical sessions at conferences, workshops, and online events
* Analyze the effectiveness of community advocacy and continually strategize and iterate.
* Travel up to 30% of the time to developer events, conferences and workshops.
