It is not a product management role, although the insights gained through close engagement with customers and the community will help inform NI’s strategy and priorities.\nGoals\nStrengthen NI’s relationships with customers, developers, lead users, Champions, partners, and other influential members of the engineering community.\nIncrease understanding of and confidence in NI’s software strategy, technical direction, and long-term vision.\nGrow a network of technically credible advocates who actively participate in and contribute to the NI ecosystem.\nIncrease NI’s visibility and technical credibility within the communities where engineers learn, collaborate, and influence one another.\nHelp customers understand how NI software is evolving to support modern engineering workflows and technologies.\nCreate stronger connections between NI’s internal software organizations and the external communities that use, extend, and advocate for our products.\nSurface important technical trends, customer concerns, community sentiment, and emerging engineering practices that should influence NI’s priorities.\nExpand the impact of the Software Community Program through scalable technical content, demonstrations, community programs, and strategic relationships.\nWhat You’ll Do\nServe as a highly credible technical representative of NI within customer and developer communities.\nEngage directly with customers through technical meetings, site visits, workshops, user groups, conferences, industry events, and other forums.\nCommunicate NI’s software strategy, technical direction, roadmap, and key messages to highly technical audiences.\nExplain and demonstrate how NI software supports modern engineering practices, including AI-assisted development, CI/CD, automation, containers, open source, and emerging software workflows.\nDevelop and deliver technical presentations, demonstrations, prototypes, examples, and other content that make NI’s software strategy tangible.\nParticipate directly in online and in-person engineering communities, answering questions, contributing technical perspective, and representing NI appropriately.\nBuild relationships with influential users who can become advocates, contributors, early adopters, partners, and strategic collaborators.\nSupport programs involving Champions, user groups, developer engagement, open source, technical content, customer advocacy, and other community initiatives.\nIdentify opportunities for deeper collaboration with customers and community members, including early-access programs, open-source initiatives, technical partnerships, and co-innovation.\nWork with R&D, Product, Marketing, Sales, and other internal teams to ensure community engagement is aligned with NI’s broader software strategy.\nEquip other customer-facing teams with technical messaging, demonstrations, examples, and expertise that help them represent NI’s software strategy effectively.\nBring meaningful community perspectives, technical trends, customer concerns, and emerging practices back into NI.\nSuccess Criteria\nSuccess in this role will be demonstrated by:\nStrong, trusted relationships with strategically important customers, technical leaders, community members, and advocates.\nIncreased customer and community understanding of NI’s software strategy and technical direction.\nGrowth in the number and quality of technically influential users actively engaging with and advocating for NI.\nEffective representation of NI at customer engagements, conferences, user groups, online communities, and other technical forums.\nHigh-quality technical content, demonstrations, and presentations that are reused across community and customer engagements.\nIncreased participation in Community Program initiatives and stronger connections between previously disconnected parts of the NI ecosystem.\nClear evidence that community engagement is influencing customer perception, advocacy, adoption, and participation.\nActionable insights from the community being surfaced consistently to internal stakeholders.\nRecognition internally and externally as a trusted technical voice for NI software.\nThe ability to independently identify high-value opportunities for community engagement and turn them into meaningful outcomes.\nWho You Are\nYou are first and foremost a technologist and engineer.\nYou enjoy engaging directly with other engineers and can quickly establish technical credibility with experienced developers, architects, and technical leaders.\nYou can move comfortably between writing code, discussing software architecture, presenting to a room of customers, and having a strategic conversation with senior leadership.\nYou are an effective storyteller who can explain complex technology and strategy without oversimplifying it.\nYou are comfortable representing a company publicly and responding thoughtfully to difficult questions, skepticism, or strong customer opinions.\nYou naturally build relationships and enjoy connecting people who share technical interests or could benefit from working together.\nYou are curious about how software engineering is changing and actively experiment with new technologies and development practices.\nYou are comfortable operating with significant autonomy and creating structure where it does not already exist.\nYou care about building communities, not simply broadcasting messages to them.\nYou understand that credibility with technical communities comes from authentic participation, technical competence, and sustained engagement.\nBackground and Skills\nSignificant professional software engineering experience, ideally including experience designing, developing, or architecting complex software systems.\nDeep understanding of modern software engineering practices, development workflows, and software architecture.\nStrong familiarity with technologies and practices such as AI-assisted software development, CI/CD, DevOps, automation, containers, APIs, and open-source software.\nAbility to rapidly develop deep technical knowledge of NI software, its architecture, and the engineering workflows it supports.\nExceptional written, verbal, and presentation skills.\nExperience presenting complex technical topics to engineering audiences.\nAbility to create technical demonstrations, prototypes, examples, or other hands-on assets.\nExperience working directly with customers, developer communities, partners, or other external technical audiences.\nAbility to communicate effectively with both highly technical contributors and senior business or engineering leaders.\nStrong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to influence without direct authority.\nExperience participating in or contributing to developer communities, open-source projects, technical conferences, user groups, or similar communities is highly desirable.\nFamiliarity with NI software, automated test, measurement, engineering systems, or adjacent technical domains is highly desirable.\nWillingness to travel regularly for customer engagements, community activities, and industry events.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7726,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
