Hey friends 👋

Back in June, we posted about a Community Program Manager role. Thank you to everyone who asked questions, shared it around, and applied. 💜

As we worked through the hiring process, it became clear what DEV needs most right now: someone who lives on DEV every day and takes care of the community from the inside. So we've reshaped the role into a full-time Community Manager.

If you already spend your days reading, commenting, and posting here, this could be your chance to make it your job.

Community Manager Job Application

What changed?

The short version: less program management, more community stewardship. You'll be the day-to-day steward of DEV: on the platform, publishing articles, getting to know our most engaged members, keeping things welcoming and high quality, and making sure folks get fast, thoughtful help.

Job Overview

Key Responsibilities

You will...

  • Be active on DEV every day: reading, commenting, reacting, and posting
  • Own moderation, and recruit, support, and work alongside our community moderators and curators
  • Manage our community support inboxes and channels so members get prompt, thoughtful responses
  • Run our other brand presences on DEV, like the MLH organization
  • Spot influential contributors and emerging issues, and route feedback, bugs, and feature requests to the right teams
  • Bring great technical writers from across the ecosystem to DEV
  • Curate the best of the community through roundups and newsletters
  • And more!

Important Skills

You are someone who...

  • Is an active, established DEV member (a DEV profile with real history is a huge plus!)
  • Has run Discord communities, not just hung out in them: moderating, setting up bots, building automations
  • Writes and edits well, with strong instincts for curating content
  • Makes level-headed calls in gray areas
  • Uses AI as a starting point, then brings your own taste and judgment

Benefits

You'll receive...

  • Competitive salary
  • Stock options
  • Medical, dental, vision benefits and 401K
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Travel opportunities
