Community Developer Lead

About the role

We’re looking for someone well-versed in Developer Community Engagement to drive our open-source community. This is a high-impact, externally-facing role for someone who genuinely loves the developer community and wants to help it grow around Orkes and Conductor.

This role sits at the intersection of community engagement, developer marketing, and technical content creation. You’ll help developers discover Orkes and aid them in successfully adopting the platform through high-quality technical education, community interaction, and advocacy. You’ll serve as a catalyst for increasing community engagement, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating programs that encourage participation, contribution, and long-term adoption.

This is the perfect role for someone with a background in working with developer communities, a passion for technology, and excitement about helping create agentic transformation for developers and organizations. Ideally, you have a background in technical marketing, developer relations, or developer education and enjoy being externally visible to our community.

What You’ll Do

• Interacting with developers via various online and in-person communities to drive awareness, engagement and usage of our products
• Answering technical questions, unblocking users, and fostering an inclusive, knowledgeable, and strong community that developers want to be a part of
• Educating developers on workflow orchestration, agentic workflows, and distributed systems through your content and community programs
• Building real relationships to empower our contributors, advocates, and power users
• Create educational content such as blogs, tutorials, videos, walkthroughs, and learning materials
• End-to-end ownership of webinars, workshops, AMAs, demos, and community events
• Represent Orkes at conferences, meetups, podcasts, and online events
• Bring developer feedback back to Product and Engineering to help improve Orkes

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of impactful experience in engagement with developers for deeply technical products in a community context
• A proactive, self-directed person who thrives in any situation and enjoys working alongside developer communities
• A strong technical foundation. You’ve written code and understand how developers think, build, troubleshoot, and evaluate new technologies
• You’ve created technical educational content in the past such as presentations, written work, videos, demos, and workshops
• You can take something complex and make it click for developers who are seeing it for the first time
• You are a highly resilient person that’s also execution-focused.

Nice-to-Haves

• Open source community experience
• An existing audience or online presence in the developer space
• Conference talks/webinars/event hosting under your belt
• Familiarity with agentic workflow orchestration, in particular Conductor/Orkes

Location

How to Stand Out

We’d love to see examples of your work:

• Blogs, tutorials, instructional content, GitHub
• Conference talks/coding voice-overs/webinars
• Community stewardship and contributions or open source involvement
• Anything that shows how you think and communicate
