What's my job?

So I am a developer relations engineer for Google assistant and that is within the larger DevRel team. For those not familiar with DevRel, DevRel is a really interesting space where we kind of have one foot in the company and one foot out of the company. The DevRel I am part of is scalable and so it's externally facing. I help with our actions on Google platform I particularly work on a app actions which is how to add voice to Android and so you could do really need things like saying “Hey G open the app” or “start an order on this app” and it will open up and understand the users input put and start the order. So things that I do for my day today is I work with our engineering team and our p.m. team to figure out how to build the best platform for a folks and in particular to 3rd parties, people who are outside of Google who building on this technology, and DevRel was generally considered as a 0th customer and so we're testing out things that our Engineer team is building to make sure that it is one completely working at the expected and then we document the experience and how folks should should be using interpreting and so I work with tech writers to build out documentation and something I really enjoy doing is building out, like write out code samples and tutorials, codelabs and videos to explain how you can build using these tools that we built. Part of it is working internal, getting things all ready, and then sharing them out externally and then getting feedback from the community on what is great and what's not working and bringing that back in so we can make a platform better. So DevRel is this really interesting space between, like some days or some weeks I’m coding, cuz I'm building out this really fun sample to test this thing out and other days I am working with our DevMarketing team to explain to them kind of how to frame this or how we could create a social campaign, to writing a technical talk so I can explain to folks how to build, to building tutorials, to writing scripts, being in the studio and kind of everything in between. So I get to do a lot of fun stuff that's kind of what I do.
