Full Job Description
THE ROLE
The best startups are built by exceptional people. As our Technical Community Lead, you'll spend your time meeting the most extraordinary builders, students, operators, founders and investors, often before they are actively considering their next move.
Host the room everyone wants to be in - run the hackathons, events and parties the best builders fly in for, where they meet each other, and meet Dryft
Connected everywhere it counts - from lecture halls to VC offices to late-night founder dinners, grow a network around Dryft that opens every door
Raise the bar with every hire - turn those relationships into exceptional hires; every person you bring into Dryft should raise the bar for the entire company
Building the world's best team is Dryft's highest priority, and this role gives you a front-row seat to what it takes to build a generational company.
YOU
Community builder - you bring together exceptional builders, founders and researchers, and nobody leaves when it's over
Talent radar - you know "who is going to make it" before anyone else; you might even run a secret spreadsheet of them at home
Magnetic energy - people feel it the moment you walk in; exceptional people are drawn to you, and leave inspired and excited about an ambitious mission
Founder mindset - you move with urgency, take full ownership, and build networks and systems from the ground up
Engineer at heart - you understand what engineers and operators are building, and they can tell from the first conversation
Relocation - you're ready to work onsite in San Francisco (we support visa)
