Community Manager; AI Engineers

AI Engineer is the AI industry's only vendor-neutral event series focused purely on engineering - working with OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft and more. We've grown from 500 attendees at our first Summit to 7,500+ at World's Fair 2026, and we're just getting started.

We're hiring a Community Manager to be the connective tissue between our global AI engineer community, our ambassador network, and our events. You'll bring structure to complexity - and do it with warmth and ease. You will work between home and our San Francisco office. Hosting weekly meetups with our SF community.

What you'll do:

• Own and grow the AI Engineer community across Slack, X, Linked In and our owned platforms - driving dialogue, rituals, and knowledge-sharing.
• Build our meetup and ambassador program from scratch: rules, onboarding, newsletters, KPIs, and recruiting new city ambassadors.
• Build and own our Scholarship, Associate, NEO and TB programs end-to-end, from application through to nurture, delivery and support.
• Design practitioner-led education initiatives - workshops, cohort courses, study groups - that keep pace with how fast AI engineering moves.
• Support partner and community engagement at our flagship conference.
• Work cross-functionally with Marketing, BD, Partnerships and Production to keep every workstream visible and on track.

What you bring:

• 6+ years in community management, in tech/AI/developer spaces.
• A track record building ambassador, meetup, and regional community programs.
• Exceptional organization - you run multiple work streams without dropping a ball.
• A strong writer who adapts tone for developers, partners, and internal teams.
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI, and you already use AI tools daily.
• Comfortable with tools like Notion/Airtable/Asana and Slack/Discord/Circle.

This is a rare shot at real ownership inside a small, fast-moving team building the definitive global gathering place for AI engineers. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
