Developer ambassador programs

A list of developer ambassador programs run by various companies.

What is a developer ambassador program?

A developer ambassador program is a company-run program that promotes its products or services through its representatives (but not employees). You, as a member of any developer ambassador program, are expected to produce technical content in the form of:

• text (blog posts)
• audio (podcasts)
• video (YouTube videos)
• public speaking (talks at meetups or conferences)
• Open source contribution to relevant repositories, and
• helping the community by commenting or answering questions on platforms like StackOverflow

Benefits of joining a developer ambassador program

Those contributions are unpaid, but you might get other benefits from doing so. The benefits might include

• recognition and personal branding
• access to features of products and services before the general public
• invitation and access to the company's special or developer events
• cover travel and/or accommodation to events where you speak about the company's products
• special or free access to the company's products or services
• credits to use the company's products or services
