    Mission

    Turn Zerve into the default place data people go when they want to actually figure something out.

    Not just users. A living, growing community of practitioners sharing real work.

    Core Focus: Build a Massive, Credible Community

    This is not passive community building. You are actively creating momentum, identity, and gravity.

    What You'll Do

    Seed the community with real work

    • Create workflows people want to copy, remix, and improve
    • Publish constantly: here's how I solved X
    • Set the standard for what good looks like in Zerve

    Turn users into contributors

    • Spot power users early
    • Pull them into the spotlight through features, reposts, and collaborations
    • Make contributing feel valuable, not like effort

    Create loops, not content

    • Every piece of content should trigger someone trying Zerve, someone sharing their version, and someone improving it

    Own the narrative inside the community

    • Answers are not the same as analysis
    • The problem is not always defined yet
    • The agent is a thinking partner, not a tool

    Be everywhere that matters, but selectively

    • High-signal channels only: data Twitter, LinkedIn, niche communities
    • Comments over posts. Conversations over broadcasting

    What Great Looks Like (3–6 Months)

    • A recognizable Zerve way of doing data work
    • 100+ active contributors sharing workflows and ideas
    • Community content outperforming company content
    • New users joining because of other users, not marketing

    Who You Are

    • You've built or grown a technical community
    • You know how to create momentum, not just content
    • You have strong taste — you know what people will actually share
    • You're slightly obsessed with distribution loops
    • You're comfortable jumping into conversations and shaping them

    How We Measure Success

    • Percentage of content created by the community
    • Growth of active contributors, not just members
    • Number of workflows being shared and remixed
    • Inbound from I saw someone using Zerve

    Compensation

    • Competitive salary aligned to top-of-market early-stage DevRel
    • Meaningful equity with real upside
    • Direct access to founders and product direction
    • Budget to experiment: tools, creators, events, distribution
    • Full ownership of community strategy and execution
    • Remote-first, with flexibility to travel for high-signal events
