Developer Relations Lead
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
