Head of Community

Role Overview

This is a full-time remote role based in the United States, with San Francisco, CA preferred as the location for periodic in-person events. The compensation for the position is between $110,000 and $170,000 base salary. The hiring company is a fast-growing developer infrastructure startup building a new approach to infrastructure-as-code for the AI era. Its platform helps businesses deploy software and AI agents directly into customer cloud environments so they can access valuable enterprise data.

What You Will Do

As Head of Community, you will be responsible for building the developer community from the ground up across online channels and in-person experiences. The role is designed for someone who understands developer audiences deeply, already has strong relationships in the developer tools world, and can turn community momentum into commercial opportunities.

• Own the planning and execution of developer meetups and hackathons in the San Francisco/Bay Area every two months, handling the full event lifecycle from venue selection to speaker outreach and post-event follow-up.
• Bring in respected speakers, partners, and co-hosts from the developer infrastructure ecosystem to ensure each gathering delivers strong technical value.
• Grow and maintain the online community, especially Slack, through genuine engagement and communication that feels authentic rather than overly corporate or promotional.
• Build and maintain meaningful relationships across the developer tools ecosystem so the company stays closely connected to builders, startups, and industry conversations.
• Use community activity, event participation, and online engagement to generate qualified leads and support the sales pipeline.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a practical, self-driven operator who can work independently and thrive in a startup environment with limited structure and resources. You should have strong developer empathy, experience in community-building or field marketing, and the ability to execute quickly and effectively without relying on large budgets or heavy management layers.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base pay of $110,000 to $170,000.
• A strong early-stage equity package.
• Remote-first work setup within the United States.
• A travel budget to support recurring events and meetups in San Francisco.
• The chance to join an early foundational team with significant ownership and direct access to the founder.

Interview Process

• A 30-minute introductory discussion with the Founder/CEO to review your background, motivations, and fit.
• A 90-minute hands-on working session with the Founder/CEO to assess collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.
• Final alignment review followed by a formal offer if everything matches well.
