About the RoleReflection is building open-weight AI systems that researchers, developers, and enterprises are looking to as the foundational intelligence layer for their technology. Researchers and developers are our earliest adopters, our most credible validators, and a core distribution channel through which frontier AI reaches the world. We are hiring a Technical Community & Programs Lead to build and own Reflection's presence within the communities that matter most: researchers, developers, and the builders who will shape what the open source AI ecosystem becomes.
We are looking for someone who has a deep background in this world already, a point of view on what's worth attending and what's worth building, and can represent Reflection with the kind of authenticity that comes from being a passionate, active participant in the AI community.
What You'll DoCultivate Reflection's presence with developer and research communities
- Foster and maintain trusted relationships with the researchers, engineers, and community figures who shape opinion and direction in open AI development.
- Help build our presence in the developer and research spaces where real technical discourse happens - including at industry and hosted events, on X, YouTube, and Hugging Face, etc. - as a credible, distinct voice with a perspective.
- Identify and engage the tastemakers, contributors, and builders who are doing interesting work with open models, and help Reflection show up as a genuine collaborator.
- Represent Reflection externally in the developer and research ecosystem.
Build and oversee our community programs and event strategy
- Own ambassador and developer programs end-to-end: strategy, structure, recruiting, activation, and ongoing relationship management.
- Develop the community content and channel strategy that gives developers and researchers a reason to engage with Reflection beyond launches. This includes tutorials, discussions, technical explainers, community spotlights.
- Build and manage university and researcher partnership programs that give Reflection a presence in the institutions training the next generation of AI builders.
- Help organize and run hackathons, meetups, and webinars that developers and researchers actually want to attend.
Partner closely with Comms and GTM
- Partner closely with Communications, Product, Research, Go-To-Market teams in developing the strategy and content for social, events, launches, and more.
- Build the operational infrastructure that ties our external community programming together: timelines, logistics, partner coordination, and follow-through.
- Bring community signal back to our team to shape how Reflection builds and communicates with customers, partners, and the broader AI ecosystem.
What We're Looking For- Someone who is genuinely embedded in the developer and research community. You stay close to - and are part of - the conversations, trends, events, and programming that developers and researchers engage with. You have your own presence, your own relationships, and your own read on what's interesting and what's noise. Having a personal brand or meaningful community presence in the AI, ML, or developer ecosystem is a big plus.
- Experience running community programs, developer relations, or technical marketing at an AI company, open-source project, or developer-focused technology company.
- The operational rigor and attention to detail to own an events calendar and programs portfolio in a fast-moving environment--and the technical writing chops to produce content that earns attention in technical communities.
What We Offer:We believe that to build superintelligence that is truly open, you need to start at the foundation. Joining Reflection means building from the ground up as part of a small talent-dense team. You will help define our future as a company, and help define the frontier of open foundational models.
We want you to do the most impactful work of your career with the confidence that you and the people you care about most are supported.
- Top-tier compensation: Salary and equity structured to recognize and retain the best talent globally.
- Health & wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
- Life & family: Fully paid parental leave for all new parents, including adoptive and surrogate journeys. Financial support for family planning.
- Benefits & balance: paid time off when you need it, relocation support, and more perks that optimize your time.
- Opportunities to connect with teammates: lunch and dinner are provided daily. We have regular off-sites and team celebrations.
