Job description

About the Company

We've been building Machenta for less than a year, and so we're still right at the beginning here. We’re a very close team, sharing the journey together, working in person in London, and collaborating throughout. This has been great fun! And as we bring in the next few team members, we're now thinking carefully about what roles we need, and who we should be speaking with. Everybody joining will be Machenta’s expert in their part of the team, with ownership and responsibility for shaping where we go next and how we get there. We pay well, and we'll be giving you meaningful equity, private health insurance, and lots of free food.

About the Role

You’ll be the first person we hire to build our Machenta community. You’ll showcase what makes our technology truly remarkable to the robotics community, and get them excited about "Physical Vibe Coding" with our model. Working closely with our founders, you'll own our community approach fully, from strategy to execution, and the relationships that come with it. This is a hands-on role where you'll learn our technology inside out, and act as an external ambassador to showcase what can be done in the era of Instant Robot Learning.

In This Role You Will:

• Develop and deliver a strategy to bring robotics enthusiasts and hobbyists into our community, and get them experimenting with our model and sharing what they create.
• Organise and run a regular cadence of events, including hackathons, meet-ups and workshops. From concept, hype, and guest list curation, through to execution, filming, and social release.
• Expand our social presence by creating tutorials, engaging content, and example projects that show what's possible with our technology, and get developers building fast.
• Build a thriving developer community around our model, by owning our relationships across the startup, hobbyist, and research communities.
• Represent us at AI and robotics conferences, through on-site promotional activities and social events.
• Partner closely with our team for a tight feedback loop into the product.

What We Hope You’ll Bring:

• Experience shaping a strategy to establish or grow a community.
• Hands-on experience delivering community, DevRel, or growth activities, and turning that strategy into sustained engagement.
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI and robotics. You don't need to be an expert in robot learning, but you should understand the robotics and AI space well in general, and you need to be passionate about learning our technology to then talk about it with confidence.
• An energetic and creative character, comfortable being the outward-facing voice of the company.
• Strong technical communication skills, adept at translating complex technology into something developers can easily engage with.

Joining Us

We're setting off to change how robots learn, and how people interact with them. If you're excited about joining in on the adventure with us all, and about working in a close-knit, highly ambitious, highly passionate team in the heart of King's Cross London, we would love to hear from you!
