About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Show up as a peer in developer spaces such as GitHub, Reddit, and long-form technical threads, contributing real code and technical input, not marketing copy
Rebuild community engagement from one-way broadcast into genuine peer-to-peer activity: seed discussions, recruit community leaders, get developers answering and teaching each other
Encourage our own engineers and technical team to actively share knowledge, updates, and resources into the specific community, building genuine two-way exchange rather than one-way broadcast
Identify and cultivate relationships with strong open-source and hackathon-circuit developers
Quietly assess community members who might be a fit for our talent pipeline, and manage those conversations one-on-one and discreetly
Plan and run a small number of high-quality hackathons (one to two per year) rather than high-frequency, lower-value events
Shape the community's public presence and define requirements/direction for supporting marketing execution
Introduce our tech stacks to the community in a credible, non-salesy way, and gather real developer feedback on them.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Six or more years of hands-on coding experience, and genuine standing in developer communities (open-source) contributions, hackathon involvement, active presence in dev-native spaces)
Experience organizing or leading a developer community yourself, such as a meetup, local chapter, open-source project, or online community. We're looking for someone who has already earned trust and visibility in developer spaces, not someone who is asking to be granted access to them
Fluency in developer documentation and how experienced engineers actually work and communicate
A track record of being trusted by developers as one of their own; this community will disengage fast from anyone who reads as corporate or extractive
Comfort operating with a lot of autonomy and ambiguity; this role is being built from a loose framework, not a fixed playbook
Experience in a formal developer relations, dev advocate, or community lead role at a technical company
Involvement in a formal community leader program (for example, X's Developer Community Leaders Program) or similar organizer-level standing in a developer ecosystem
Familiarity with how developer relations functions at scale (companies like Twitter/X, Meta are useful reference points, not a requirement to have worked there); connections made through developer relations circles, including ones as far-reaching as Montreal, can be a strong signal of real community standing.
