About Factory

Build faster with AI coding agents. Factory Droids automate coding, testing, and deployment for startups and enterprises. Backed by Khosla, NEA and Sequoia.

About the role

We are looking for our first community hire: Someone who loves developer communities, wants to be in the middle of online and offline events, and is always ready to discuss recent technological developments with the Factory community. You will own the Factory Guild (our ambassador program), run our developer events, build relationships with relevant companies and individuals in the tech space. You will be a face and a voice developers recognize and relate to.

What they're looking for

  • A strong speaker, but also a stronger listener. You can hold a stage, prepare an engaging talk, but you can hold a one-to-one conversation
  • You have strong writing skills, your communication style is authentic and relatable, but still professional
  • You are technical enough to be credible with engineers. You do not need engineering background, but you should be confident in demoing the product, and talking about the latest trends in autonomous software, coding agents, harnesses, and LLMs
  • You are able to communicate fast and be responsive to community members
  • 2+ years in developer relations, community, developer advocacy, or as a developer who spent real time doing this type of work
  • A track record of running events or programmes end to end, at any size

Run our own developer events end to end, from the invitation to the follow-up, and represent Factory at the ones we sponsor

Be a visible and credible voice for Factory — on stage, in workshops, on podcasts, and in live demos where things occasionally break

Show up where developers already are, including open source, and take part rather than broadcast
