The posting

We're Karat, the world's largest interviewing company.

Karat is transforming organizations around the world. We provide a powerful system for technical leaders at companies like PayPal, Atlassian, and Citi who want to take control of how they hire top engineers, elevate their teams and contractors, and stay ahead. At the core of Karat’s system are live, expert-led interviews, analytics designed to give leaders maximum visibility, and the most robust interview performance dataset in the world.

Come join our Brilliant Black Minds team

Our Brilliant Black Minds (BBM) team is committed to increasing access for diverse software engineers by connecting a community of 11,000+ members with networks, opportunities, and the technical interview preparation they need to thrive.

What you will do

As a Community Engineer at Karat, you will drive the technical evolution of Brilliant Black Minds, building AI-powered tools, automations, and experiences that serve a community of 11,000+ diverse software engineers. This role is 70% hands-on engineering and 30% community program management; you will be the sole engineer on the program, and staying close to the community is as important as the code you ship.

  • Lead projects end-to-end from design through release, including those with significant ambiguity.
  • Build and maintain clean, scalable services, components, and APIs; take accountability for the quality and reliability of all code you touch.
  • Integrate LLM APIs and AI-enhanced capabilities into BBM's technical interview preparation offerings, helping the community stay current with AI-era engineering practices.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development as a core part of your engineering workflow to move quickly and build efficiently as a solo engineer
  • Build tooling and automations that scale BBM's community operations, including newsletter workflows, Discord integrations, and candidate-facing resources.
  • Manage day-to-day community operations: moderating Discord, engaging members across experience levels, and participating in study groups.
  • Identify gaps in what the community needs, design solutions, and ship them.

The experience you will bring

  • 5+ years of professional experience designing and shipping web applications or distributed systems to production
  • Proficiency in modern programming languages and frameworks (experience with Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Ruby strongly preferred); comfort across the stack and with API design
  • Experience with system architecture, database design, cloud infrastructure, and deployment technologies (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Familiarity with LLM APIs or AI-enhanced product features; curiosity about how AI/ML technologies can enhance assessment, learning, or community experiences
  • A track record of delivering projects independently, from problem identification to shipped solution, with high-quality output
  • Active involvement in the technical community as a mentor, advisor, or contributor, and genuine comfort engaging with engineers across all experience levels, from new grads to senior engineers
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to translate technical concepts clearly for a non-technical audience when needed
  • Experience building community-facing technical products or tooling, such as Discord bots, automation workflows, developer portals, or equivalent, is a strong plus

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
