Role Overview
You will be the voice, host, and architect of the Vibecoderz community. From Discord to global hackathons, you’ll create spaces where developers not only learn — they vibe.
This isn’t about managing a forum. It’s about building a living culture where 100K+ developers feel at home, engage daily, and evolve into Vibecoderz evangelists. You’ll run events, spotlight creators, listen deeply to feedback, and transform casual users into long-term influencers of our brand.
You’ll work side by side with the CMO (growth engine) and PM/CTO (product feedback loops) to ensure the community is the pulse of the product.
Key Responsibilities
- Discord Leadership Own Vibecoderz’ Discord HQ as the primary engagement hub. Set up channels, moderation guidelines, and rituals that keep conversations vibrant. Scale Discord to 10K+ members with active participation.
- Community Engagement & Rituals Design and run recurring activities: AMAs, Byte Course challenges, leaderboard competitions, study groups. Identify and nurture power users into community leaders/moderators.
- Content & Storytelling Collaborate with content and design teams to publish community-driven stories, spotlights, tutorials. Run “Wall of Vibe” and showcase the best user-created artifacts and mini-apps.
- Events & Experiences Organize virtual and hybrid events: hackathons, webinars, coding nights, workshops. Partner with influencers, VPs of Engineering, and researchers for broadcasts.
- Feedback Loops Listen to the community through Discord, social, and surveys. Synthesize feedback into Notion reports for PM/CTO. Drive closed-loop communication: users see their input shaping the product.
- User Advocacy & Influencers Identify and onboard Vibecoderz champions (student leaders, indie devs, content creators). Build an Influencer Program that rewards advocacy (exclusive access, swag, recognition).
- Culture & Belonging Foster an inclusive, positive, and global-first culture where developers feel ownership. Build rituals that go beyond product — lifestyle, memes, and fun.
- Metrics & Analytics Define and track community health KPIs: DAU/WAU/MAU on Discord, retention, event participation, referral rates. Continuously improve based on data + qualitative insights.
- Collaboration Work with CMO on campaigns, with PM on roadmap validation, and with CTO on influencer-driven content. Ensure community is a flywheel across marketing, product, and brand.
- Team Building Hire and mentor community managers, moderators, and ambassadors as Vibecoderz scales.
