# Idris Olubisi

> Senior Developer Relations Engineer, London, United Kingdom. Developer Relations and Education / AI Agent Engineering / Forward Deployed Engineering / Backend Engineering.

Last updated Oct 2026.

I’m a backend engineer who moved into developer relations and now builds AI agents. For seven years I’ve worked alongside the developers and builders using a product, finding the step that actually costs them time and shipping the fix, whether that’s courses, docs and tutorials, partner integrations and solution architecture, or production code.

Founder of Web3 Afrika (15,000+ builders across Africa).
Tutorials read 10M+ times across freeCodeCamp, Dev.to, LogRocket, Medium and his blog.

Availability: Available now. Open to senior developer relations, developer education, AI agent engineering, forward deployed engineering and backend engineering roles, permanent or contract. Remote first from London, and open to hybrid or on-site. UK Global Talent visa, so no sponsorship needed in the UK.
