Responsibilities

• You'll lead our community programs end-to-end, including designing and operating our Champions program (from nomination through rewards and local event support), running recurring in-person meetups across the Bay Area with full logistics ownership, and moderating our virtual community calls.
• You'll also own our community voice on X and LinkedIn, curating and promoting projects and demos our community builds, and you'll plan and execute hackathons and conferences.
• This role spans in-person and virtual touchpoints including venue sourcing and speaker recruitment, social media strategy, documentation and playbooks, and community moderation across Discord and our forum.
• Success looks like a community that runs without you in the room: champions hosting meetups in cities you have never visited, users answering each other's questions faster than we can. We get there by building scalable systems together, and investing deeply in our community.

Requirements

• 6+ years of software community management, developer relations, technical field marketing, or technical program management experience.
• A track record of running several programs or event series at the same time, with examples of the systems you built to keep them on track.
• Experience building champion or advocacy programs, including recruiting, onboarding, and keeping contributors you do not manage.
• Comfort operating without a marketing team behind you.
• Daily use of AI tools in your own work.
• Hands-on event operations experience: venues, vendors, shipping, staffing, run-of-show, and the last-minute problems that come with all of it.
• Comfort working with and managing communities for highly technical people.
• Experience as an active participant at conferences and other events, including giving talks, running workshops, and facilitating community development sessions.
• Experience promoting new technologies through blog posts, newsletters, webinars, and other media.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex concepts in simple language and to write documentation other people can follow.

Preferred

• Completed advanced degrees in a relevant field may be substituted for up to two years of work experience.

Benefits

• Your benefits package may include comprehensive healthcare coverage, retirement and savings programs, employee stock purchase opportunities, paid time off, wellbeing resources, family support programs, and learning and development opportunities.
