About The Role
We are building a next-generation technology company focused on software, developer infrastructure, interactive advertising technology, and digital ecosystems. Our success depends on attracting exceptional people, fostering meaningful communities, and building long-term relationships with developers, creators, operators, and builders.
We are looking for a highly driven and intellectually curious Community & Ecosystem Manager to lead our engagement across Reddit, Discord, GitHub Discussions, Hacker News, LinkedIn, Common Room, and related developer and startup communities.
This is not a traditional social media management role.
This is not a customer support position.
This role sits at the intersection of community building, talent discovery, employer branding, developer relations, communications, and ecosystem development.
You will help us identify exceptional technical and non-technical talent, build credibility within influential communities, communicate our vision, and create an ecosystem of people who want to contribute to meaningful technology rather than simply participate in another online group.
For someone who enjoys networking, community building, developer culture, startup ecosystems, and connecting brilliant people with ambitious ideas, this can be an exceptional career opportunity.
Core Mission
Build and scale a high-trust ecosystem of developers, creators, operators, students, researchers, startup professionals, and future team members.
Your objective is not simply to grow community numbers.
