Want to make DEV your full-time job? We're hiring a Community Manager!

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

I hope you find someone wonderful for the role who really cares about the DEV community and helps it grow even stronger.

The shift from Program Manager to a hands-on Community Manager makes so much sense. I especially love that "uses AI as a starting point, then brings their own taste" is an explicit requirement—it perfectly captures the vibe of this platform. Good luck to everyone applying! 💜

Hope you find the right candidate soon! Also hoping part‑time roles might open up down the line, haha.😁

This is cool! I would love to apply, but I would have only 1-2 days availability. Could still be something to keep in mind as an addition or to partner with someone, so I just drop it here ;-)
