Description

  • Represent the community day to day in developer spaces such as GitHub, Reddit, and technical forums with credible, technical contributions.

  • Plan and run one to two high-quality hackathons per year.
  • Shape the community’s public presence and define needs for supporting marketing execution.

  • Established standing in open-source or other developer communities through contributions, hackathons, or active participation.
  • Experience organizing or leading a developer community, meetup, local chapter, open-source project, or online community.
  • Fluency in developer documentation and how experienced engineers communicate and work.
  • A trusted reputation among developers as one of their own, not someone perceived as corporate or extractive.
  • Comfort working with significant autonomy and ambiguity in a loosely defined role.
  • Experience in a formal developer relations, dev advocate, or community lead role at a technical company.
  • Participation in a formal community leader program or similar organizer-level standing in a developer ecosystem.
