We think that's backwards. Our mandate is to build efficient intelligence that evolves in real-time. Our vision is AI systems that are flexible, personalized, and accessible to everyone. We believe efficiency is what makes this possible - it's how we expand access and ensure innovation benefits the many, not the few. We believe in talent density: bringing together the best and most driven individuals to push the boundaries of continual adaptation. We're looking for builders and creative thinkers ready to shape the next era of intelligence.\nThe Role\nOur vision is AI systems that are flexible, adaptable, and accessible to everyone. We believe efficiency is what makes this possible - it's how we expand access and ensure innovation benefits the many, not the few. Part of that commitment is to engage with a wider ecosystem of early adopters, researchers and developers, and make sure we engage deeply with our mission of building progress at the edge of what is possible.\nYou authentically care about our mission of empowering builders globally to have more control over AI. Your core strength is bringing people together. You craft and organize experiences that allow users to connect with Adaption, our team, and with each other.\nResponsibilities\nEstablish our overall strategy for supporting developers, researchers and enterprises who want to have more control over their AI.\n\nBuild and maintain Adaption's developer community spaces (Discord server, forums) from the ground up, answer questions, capture feedback, and turn it into actionable issues for the team\n\nDevelop, manage, and run Adaption's ambassador program, from recruiting and onboarding ambassadors to equipping them with the resources, recognition, and support to represent Adaption in their own communities.\n\nOrganize and lead meetups, hackathons, office hours, and live streams that introduce Adaption to new developer audiences\n\nCollaborate with developer groups, universities, accelerators, and open-source communities to co-host and amplify high-quality events\n\nSpotlight user projects and design partners (case studies, writeups, guest talks).\n\nBuild automations and systems that make community operations scale - when you do something twice, you figure out how to do it better the third time\n\nWork closely with technical and marketing teams on cross-functional projects and feedback loops\n\nStay connected with community members over time, keeping a mental map of who's doing interesting work, who should meet who, and what people are building\n\nQualifications\n2-3 years in a community lead role, with a track record of engaging technical users\n\nStrong operations instincts - you've built scalable processes from scratch and driven cross-functional initiatives to completion\n\nStrong written communication and experience engaging with communities over socials (Discord, X)\n\nProven experience organizing developer events end-to-end, from small meetups to large-scale hackathons\n\nGenuine empathy for developers and curiosity about what they're building - you care about individuals, and about changing the status quo of who can shape AI. Energized by people - social situations charge you up, you're the first to say hello, and you follow up\n\nAbove all, we're looking for great teammates who make work feel lighter and aren't afraid to go out on a limb with bold ideas. You don't need to be perfect, but you do need to be adaptable. We encourage you to apply, even if you don't check every box.\nBenefits\nFlexible work: In-person collaboration in the Bay Area, a distributed global-first team, and team offsites.\n\nAdaption Passport: Annual travel stipend to explore a country you've never visited. We're building intelligence that evolves alongside you, so we encourage you to keep expanding your horizons.\n\nLunch Stipend: Weekly meal allowance for take-out or grocery delivery.\n\nWell-Being: Comprehensive medical benefits and generous paid time off.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3996,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T04:37:00Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-09T02:02:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/adaption-labs-community-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/adaption-labs-community-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-09T04:15:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3813,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1187,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":669497},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=669497"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fadaption-labs-community-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fadaption-labs-community-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fadaption-labs-community-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/adaption-labs-community-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fadaption-labs-community-lead"}]}
