Job summary

You.com is seeking a Developer Community Lead to build and manage vibrant communities in San Francisco and New York. You’ll collaborate with DevRel, Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and Sales to connect developers to You.com APIs and products.

The role emphasizes hands-on programs, relationship-building with engineers and startups, and turning events into ongoing product engagement and advocacy within two leading AI ecosystems.

Qualifications

• Experience building or managing a developer, technical, startup, or AI community.
• Strong existing relationships within the AI and developer ecosystem, particularly in San Francisco and/or New York.
• Demonstrated ability to create events and programs that technical audiences choose to participate in repeatedly.
• Strong understanding of how developers discover, evaluate, adopt, and advocate for developer tools and APIs.
• Technically fluent enough to have credible conversations with engineers about APIs, AI agents, LLMs, developer infrastructure, and modern AI application development.
• Comfortable getting hands-on with developer products and learning enough to demonstrate and discuss them authentically.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage developers without sounding like traditional corporate marketing.
• Experience collaborating across DevRel, Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and Sales.
• Highly proactive and comfortable building programs from scratch rather than inheriting an established community playbook.
• Data-driven approach to community building, with an understanding of how community engagement can translate into product adoption, retention, advocacy, and pipeline.
• Experience in AI infrastructure, developer tools, APIs, or open-source communities strongly preferred.
• Active participation in developer or AI communities is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Own You.com's developer community strategy and programming in San Francisco and New York City, establishing a consistent presence in two of the world's most important AI ecosystems.
• Build relationships with AI engineers, founders, researchers, technical leaders, developer groups, startups, universities, and other influential members of the local developer ecosystem.
• Develop a regular cadence of high-quality community programming, including meetups, technical workshops, hackathons, builder dinners, office hours, and other formats that developers genuinely want to attend.
• Turn You.com's SF and NYC hubs into destinations for the AI builder community, creating recurring opportunities for developers to learn, build, and connect.
• Partner with DevRel and Product to create hands-on experiences that get developers building with You.com’s APIs, reducing the distance between attending a community event and making a first API call.
• Identify and cultivate community champions and power users who can become advocates, contributors, speakers, and long-term partners for You.com.
• Build relationships with complementary developer platforms, AI communities, accelerators, open-source projects, and ecosystem partners to expand our reach.
• Maintain an authentic presence in online communities where AI developers spend time (X, LinkedIn, GitHub, Discord, Hacker News).
• Create feedback loops between the developer community and Product/Engineering to surface questions, friction points, use cases, and opportunities.
• Partner with Marketing to amplify people, projects, demos, and stories from our community.
• Develop scalable community programs that support builders beyond individual events.
• Establish clear goals and measurement across community growth, event participation, API signups, activation, product usage, advocacy, and pipeline.
• Represent You.com at developer conferences, meetups, hackathons, and other technical community events.
