AI Software Evangelist

Job Details:

Job Description: 

By the end of 2025, it’s estimated that over 100 million AI-capable PCs will be shipped worldwide.  At the heart of this revolution, AI inference is playing a key role in the advancement of AI technology, which is being applied in various domains, including the edge, client-side, and cloud. This advancement has led to the development of a range of AI applications, including real-time AI assistants, image and video generation tools, solutions for defect detection, medical diagnosis, inventory management, and public safety monitoring. As these technologies continue to evolve, they're becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives and making impacts to businesses and consumers.  It's an exciting world to be a developer in this growing field, especially AI at the edge! 

On Intel hardware accelerators, the software framework that enables this is the OpenVINO Toolkit. This toolkit has rapidly grown since its launch in June 2018 to be a leading AI optimization and deployment tool among developers, and this has been growing a large community (over 5 millions downloads per year and growing) around it that needs to be supported by our evangelists. 

We are therefore looking to grow our software evangelism team to nurture developers, drive deep technical engagement in the developer community, and be the voice of Intel AI software like OpenVINO or Open Edge Platform to developers and for developers back into Intel.

• 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. 

Soft Skills:
