Job Description

Community Manager – Open Source

Akuity

• Own and execute the community strategy for both Argo CD and Kargo — defining goals, tracking health metrics, and driving measurable growth in contributors and engagement • Build contributor pathways that lower the barrier to entry: contributor guides, onboarding documentation, and regular office hours with maintainers • Nurture relationships with the CNCF, power users, active contributors, community maintainers across GitHub and related social channels • Work closely with engineering to surface community feedback, flag recurring pain points, and close the loop publicly when issues get resolved or features ship • Help shape how we communicate across both communities — release notes, changelogs, contributor newsletters, and GitHub Discussions • Shape Akuity's event presence across the Kubernetes/GitOps ecosystem — KubeCon, ArgoCon, DevOps Days, PlatformCon, and beyond — from CFP submissions and speaker prep to post-event follow-up • Own and operate community programming: contributor summits, virtual deep dives, GitOps Monthly webinars, live Q&As, and conference co-located meetups • Serve as a credible external voice for Akuity at industry events; you genuinely enjoy talking to developers about GitOps and software delivery • Work cross-functionally with marketing and product to ensure events convert interest into lasting community engagement

Job Requirements

  • 5–8 years of community management or developer relations experience in an open source or developer tools context
  • Familiarity with the Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystem — you know what GitOps means, you’ve heard of Argo CD, and you’re not intimidated by a YAML file
  • Proven track record of growing a technical open source community in a meaningful, measurable way
  • Hands-on events experience: CFP management, booth coordination, recap content, and follow-up programs
  • Strong async writer — GitHub comments, community newsletters, Slack threads, and release-adjacent content are all in your wheelhouse
  • Comfortable with data: you track what matters, build a case from metrics, and course-correct without being told
  • Collaborative by nature — you’ll work closely across engineering, product, and marketing.
  • You’ve used Argo CD or Kargo in a real environment, or contributed to either project (Nice to Have)
  • Active presence in CNCF, OpenSSF, or related cloud-native communities (Nice to Have)
  • You’ve spoken at KubeCon, ArgoCon, or a comparable developer conference (Nice to Have)
  • Experience building ambassador or champion programs from scratch (Nice to Have)
  • You’ve run community programs around a CNCF-graduated or incubating project (Nice to Have)

Benefits

  • Generous events and travel budget to be present where the Argo CD and Kargo communities are
  • Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
