Salary
💰 $128,000 - $243,500 per year
About the role
- Own the builder pipeline: the developers, tinkerers, and AI engineers who want to build on open AI infrastructure.
- Help design and run a program of in-person events in cities where open AI builders are already gathering — not just the major hubs.
- Identify and cultivate relationships with companies, projects, and organizations who want to build alongside the open AI community — not just sponsor a logo on a banner.
- Be present in the online spaces where open-source AI developers actually live: GitHub, Discord, Reddit, Hacker News, and wherever else the conversation is happening.
- Help design and run hackathons focused on open AI infrastructure — from format to prizes to what happens after the event ends.
- Work closely with the newsletter, social media, and communications team to make sure what's happening in the community shows up in Mozilla's public voice — and vice versa.
Requirements
- You've built or managed a technical community before — developer relations, open-source, or something adjacent
- You know the difference between a community and an audience, and you've built the former
- You've worked with sponsors or partners before and know how to structure relationships that create real value on both sides — not just transactional ones
- You're comfortable with ambiguity and can operate in early-stage programs where the playbook doesn't exist yet
- You understand how developers think, what they care about, and what makes them roll their eyes
- You're genuinely excited about open-source AI — not as a trend, but as something worth fighting for
- You can hold two things at once: the community's trust, and the organizational relationships that make the programs possible.
Benefits
- Fixed-term contractor engagement
- Flexible, outcome-oriented working model
