Be Notion's first Developer Advocate and build its developer platform community from 0 to 1

Interview for Notion's first Developer Advocate role, owning the relationship between Notion's newly-launched developer platform and its external builder community. Expect questions on technical content creation, community/channel strategy (Slack, X, docs), event strategy, and partnering with Engineering and Product on API changes — this is a 0-to-1 program-building role, not a typical software engineering position despite the role_family tag.
