Really? I've never seen anyone at Google or Apple who's in a "staff role with public outreach as part of their job". I don't think any big tech companies have those.
- arriu 4y agoThey do, and Google does. Job descriptions are usually something like: "As a Technical Evangelist, you will be the face of the platform and often the first contact our customers have with us, both online and in person." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_evangelist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_evangelist
- htrp 4y agoDo tech evangelist roles really have the power to send things back to the product teams? They always seemed more like platform adoption/marketing people.
- phendrenad2 4y agoThat's... not what technology evangelists do. Tech evangelists are the public face of a specific, often open-source, product/project. There are no tech evangelists for "all of Google". These are narrowly-defined roles, and they aren't empowered to be the public face of the company outside of that area.
