Community Manager, DEV (Full-Time)

As the DEV Community Manager, you'll be the day-to-day steward of the DEV (dev.to) community. You'll spend your time on the platform, get to know its most engaged members, keep the experience welcoming and high quality, and make sure people get fast, thoughtful help when they need it.

This role is for a DEV power user who wants to make it their job. You'll represent the community's needs inside MLH, bring strong judgment to content and engagement, build connections between the MLH and DEV communities, and help DEV keep being a place developers want to show up.

What You’ll Do

• Live on DEV: Be active on the platform every day - reading, commenting, reacting, and posting, and build a deep understanding of how it works, its culture, and its most engaged members.

• Moderation: Own moderation on DEV, setting the standard for what belongs on the platform and making the final call on tough cases. Recruit, support, and work alongside our volunteer moderators to keep the community safe, welcoming, and high quality.

• Community Support: Monitor and manage community support channels and inboxes so members get prompt, thoughtful responses.

• Listen and Route: Spot influential contributors, recurring concerns, and emerging community issues. Route feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and escalations to the right internal teams.

• Source New Contributors: Work with popular and prolific technical writers from across the developer ecosystem to bring their insights to the DEV platform.

• Monitor External Community Platforms: Oversee or support our presence on Reddit and other relevant channels.

• Content Curation: Curate the best of the community through editorial roundups, newsletters, and email marketing.

• Editorial Judgment: Recognize valuable contributions, elevate quality content, and keep a consistent brand tone and voice.

• AI-Assisted Work: Use AI tools to speed up community and content work, and apply your own taste, context, and quality control to the final output.
