I work as a developer advocate at Google. I think it's the most exciting job at the most interesting company in the world, but of course I'm biased ;) In fact, when I came to Google, it turned out to be roughly twice as good as I was hoping it would be. We have a bunch of openings right now. If you're both a hardcore coder as well as a hardcore extrovert, you should think about applying (through me, of course!).
By the way, the interview process is somewhat challenging. You should definitely plan on spending some time in front of a whiteboard. I heartily recommend two books, Cracking the Coding Interview and RESTful Web Services.
The video below is from Google Developer Day 2011, Moscow. Not everyone has to go to Moscow, but I think it conveys part of why I find this job so much fun :)
By the way, we also have other positions within developer relations as well as within Google as a whole.

Sure, this blog post is pretty famous. It talks about getting a job at Google: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-google.html
> Also, any word on Google IO.
All I have is this: http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/11/google-io-2012-extended-to-three-days.html
I just ordered "Cracking the Coding Interview." This will be good for staying focused.
