Be the on-stage, in-Discord face of ElevenLabs' developer community

ElevenLabs is hiring a speaking-first developer advocate to represent ElevenAPI and ElevenAgents at conferences and meetups, own the developer-conference sponsorship pipeline end to end, and stay active in Discord and Reddit answering questions and routing feedback to product teams. Candidates must submit video of past technical talks and show they can build a working demo themselves, even though the role isn't about shipping production code.
