Community Marketing Manager-Sunnyvale, CA

Qoder is an agentic coding platform built for real software engineering—from initial commit to production at scale. We empower developers and engineering teams to ship maintainable, production-grade code.

We’re looking for a community-oriented Growth Marketing Manager who lives and breathes the U.S. developer and startup scene. You’ll be the local face of Qoder—deeply embedded in regional tech hubs (e.g., SF, NYC, Austin, Seattle, Boston) to drive grassroots adoption among individual developers, indie hackers, and fast-scaling engineering teams. Your work will blend on-the-ground relationship-building with digital growth tactics to fuel both organic and strategic expansion.

Key Responsibilities

• Build & nurture local presence: Organize and co-host regular meetups, hackathons, workshops, and office hours in key U.S. tech cities—partnering with co-working spaces, accelerators (e.g., YC, Techstars), and developer communities.
• Cultivate ecosystem partnerships: Identify and collaborate with influential local players—DevRel advocates, indie makers, startup CTOs, influencers, and technical bootcamps—to drive authentic advocacy and usage.
• Design community-first campaigns: Launch referral loops, open-source integrations, and “build-in-public” challenges that resonate with hands-on builders and early-stage teams.
• Bridge bottom-up and top-down: Use grassroots momentum to create enterprise entry points—turning champion developers into internal advocates within scaling startups and mid-market tech companies.
• Track & scale what works: Measure engagement depth (not just sign-ups), retention among community-sourced users, and pipeline influence from local activities. Share insights globally to inform other regional strategies.
