Filter to the seat you’d actually take.
Level sets the scope and the pay band; work model decides whether you’re eligible at all. Both are on every card, so you can rule roles out before opening a single description.

Every open developer advocate role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 27 of the 36 developer advocate listings that publish a work model came back remote-first. The other 24 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 20 of these listings actually printed.
Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

About Developer Advocate roles

These companies span data platforms, design tools, observability, backend infrastructure, and AI, suggesting that Developer Advocate roles are sought across a range of technology sectors rather than being concentrated in a single vertical. With 58 open roles distributed among 34 companies, the average number of postings per company is relatively low, which may indicate that most hiring companies are seeking to fill only one or a small number of Developer Advocate positions at a time. The modest weekly posting rate of 4 new roles suggests that this is a specialized job market rather than one experiencing large-scale hiring surges. Overall, the data reflects a market with steady but limited hiring volume, a defined compensation range with notable spread between the 25th and 75th percentiles, and demand distributed across a mix of well-known technology companies. Job seekers evaluating opportunities in this space can reference these figures as a general benchmark, keeping in mind that individual listings may vary based on specific requirements and company context.
