Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute programs that deepen engagement across the Cypress ecosystem, meeting community members where they are and expanding their participation over time.

  • 3-4 years of community management experience within a developer tools, open source, or technical SaaS context.
  • Comfort working cross-functionally with Marketing, Customer Success, and other internal teams.
  • Familiarity with community analytics and engagement tools, and comfort using data to guide decisions and report on impact.
  • Moderation experience would be ideal, but is not required.
