Location: United States (Remote), San Francisco, CA (Preferred) Remote | Full-time Compensation: $110K - $170K Our client is a high-growth developer infrastructure startup that enables companies to ship software and AI agents directly into their customers' cloud environments, unlocking highly valuable enterprise data. Backed by $5M in seed funding from top-tier venture firms and prominent angel investors from OpenAI, Google, and Databricks, our client is currently operating as a lean, elite team. They are building a modern alternative to traditional infrastructure-as-code platforms, purpose-built for the AI era. We are seeking a dynamic, resourceful, and highly motivated Head of Community to build our client's developer network from the ground up, spanning both digital platforms and real-world engagements. In this role, the successful candidate will act as the connective tissue in the developer infrastructure ecosystem, orchestrating high-signal meetups and hackathons that resonate deeply with technical builders.

Execution Strategy: Proven track record of organizing developer-focused events end-to-end and successfully turning community interest into quantifiable sales pipeline. Operational Mindset: A scrappy, resourceful, and self-directed operator who thrives on hands-on execution rather than large corporate budgets and heavy managerial structures. Location & Travel: Based in the United States with the ability to travel to San Francisco every two months for events (residency in the San Francisco Bay Area is highly preferred). Benefits Compensation: $110,000 to $170,000 base salary. Equity: Highly competitive early-stage equity package. Work Flexibility: Remote-first operating model within the US.
