This role blends technical test evangelism, community engagement, and thought leadership, making you one of the key public faces of SmartBear’s commitment to quality-focused engineering.

  • Create compelling technical content (blogs, videos, webinars, whitepapers, tutorials) demonstrating effective testing strategies, automation frameworks, and best practices. 
  • Deliver engaging presentations at industry events and conferences globally, sharing insights and influencing the software quality and testing community. 
  • Build and showcase sample applications, demos, and integrations where you’ll focus on the importance of quality and testing using popular testing frameworks and SmartBear’s testing products.

  • Partner closely with Product Marketing, Engineering, and Product teams to inform product strategy and accelerate adoption across our testing product portfolio. 
  • Evangelise and advocate for adherence to high quality test practices across our internal product and engineering org. 

You can expect to:  

  • Support the go-to-market strategy, messaging, and knowledge sharing towards internal and external audiences to ensure that the message permeates SmartBear as well as the marketplace. 
  • Advocate for community and customer needs with other teams inside of SmartBear. 
  • Support enablement of internal pre-sales, solution architects, and support services staff. 

Candidate with proven technical experience in:  

  • Test automation frameworks (such as Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium) 
  • Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) practices and tools 
  • API testing methodologies and tools. Familiarity with some of SmartBear’s testing tools is a bonus.  
  • Software quality best practices including automated testing, exploratory testing, and test-driven development (TDD/BDD) 
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (JavaScript, Java, Python, etc.) 

Candidates demonstrate non-technical experience:  

  • 5+ years experience as a Test Advocate, Technical Evangelist, Quality Advocate, or related role. 
  • Excellent communication and storytelling abilities, with a proven capability to translate technical concepts into compelling narratives for diverse audiences. 
  • Active participation and recognition in testing or QA communities, familiar with key influencers, communities, and industry events. 
  • Experienced public speaker and community engager. 
  • Collaborative and results-oriented, comfortable working independently and within globally distributed virtual teams. 
  • Willingness and ability to travel for global industry events, meetings, and conferences.
