Developer Community Lead

About [Employer]

[Employer] is on a mission to make quantum programmable for every developer. Today, developing quantum software often requires deep physics expertise and code tailored to specific hardware. We’re removing these barriers so developers can focus on solving problems.

Headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, we bring together an international team with an open mindset, an energetic team spirit, and a shared drive to build something that matters. We value initiative, ownership, and collaboration, giving everyone the space to contribute ideas, take responsibility, and help shape the future of quantum programming.

Your role

As our Developer Community Lead, you will help developers discover, write their first quantum program, and keep building. Your goal is to turn early interest into an active community where developers learn from one another, share projects, and contribute to the product’s development.

You will combine technical education, community building, and developer outreach. Working closely with our founders and engineering team, you will shape the community experience and grow the community internationally to our target size.

What you will do

• Grow an active developer community: Build relationships with universities, programming communities, quantum organizations, and event organizers to attract developers to RHYME.
• Help newcomers succeed: Create a clear onboarding journey, from registration and installation to running and sharing a first quantum program.
• Build reasons to return: Organize onboarding cohorts, office hours, coding challenges, and hackathons that encourage continued learning and participation.
• Create useful technical content: Develop tutorials, sample projects, livestreams, posts, and talks that make quantum programming approachable.
• Support community contributions: Encourage developers to share their work, answer questions, and help others. Identify and support potential community ambassadors.
• Connect developers with the product team: Turn questions, feedback, and recurring problems into clear recommendations for the compiler, tooling, and documentation.
• Measure what works: Track acquisition, activation, retention, and contributions, and use the results to improve community programs.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s in computer science, PhD is preferred.
• Over 2 years of experience growing a developer community for a technical product, with results you can demonstrate through active users, downloads, contributors, event participation, or other relevant measures.
• Practical Python skills. You can run code examples, lead a live tutorial, and help a newcomer troubleshoot their setup.
• The ability to explain technical concepts clearly and make learning engaging, whether in writing, on camera, or on stage.
• Strong written and spoken English and confidence working with an international audience.
• A self-driven approach: you can set priorities, organize programs, deliver them, and learn from the results.
• An open, supportive communication style that helps developers feel comfortable asking questions and sharing unfinished work.
• An understanding of quantum computing fundamentals, or the motivation to learn them quickly.

Your ability to build trust with developers, teach through code, and grow sustained participation matters most.

What we offer

• Ownership from the start: Shape our community strategy, programs, and developer experience as our first community hire.
• Direct collaboration with the founders: Work closely with the people building RHYME and bring developer needs into product decisions.
• An open, international team: Share ideas, experiment, and learn alongside colleagues who value initiative and collaboration.
• Visible impact: Help developers move from curiosity about quantum computing to building their own applications.
• Remote work within Europe.
