Technical Community Manager — ML Community & Outreach
Make ML engineers feel at home in the tracebloc community — Reddit, HuggingFace, Discord, events, and peer-level engagement.
What you'll do
You'll be the person who makes ML engineers feel at home in the tracebloc community. Not with corporate "welcome aboard" emails — by being present in the conversations they're already having. On Reddit, HuggingFace, Discord, X, Slack, and wherever data scientists and ML engineers spend their time. You're one of them. You've trained models, you've debugged CUDA errors at 2am, you've scrolled through r/MachineLearning looking for a better approach. Now you want to build a community around a product that actually solves the collaboration problem everyone complains about. Day to day, you'll hunt for threads where someone needs help with a problem tracebloc solves. You'll jump in with a genuine, technically credible response — not a sales pitch. You'll manage our Discord server, run AMAs, organize public challenges, and make sure every conversation feels like it's between peers, not between a company and its "users." When our Technical Growth Lead is deep in a conference talk or on an enterprise call, you're the one keeping the community alive and growing. You'll also represent tracebloc at meetups, hackathons, and community events — not as a booth person, but as someone who belongs in the room. You'll spot trends in what the community is asking for, feed that back to the product team, and create the kind of engagement that makes people tell their colleagues about tracebloc. This is an early-stage role. You'll build community infrastructure from scratch alongside our Technical Growth Lead. Between the two of you, tracebloc will have a constant, credible presence in every ML community that matters.
What we're looking for
- 2–3 years of hands-on ML or data science work — you've trained models, written Python, and used tools like HuggingFace, W&B, or Kaggle
- Already active in ML communities — you post, reply, engage. You don't need to be told where the conversations are.
- Experience building or managing a developer community — Discord server, Slack group, forum, open-source project, or similar
- You can thread hunt — find a conversation about model benchmarking on Reddit at 9am and post a helpful, technically credible reply by 9:15
- Comfortable at meetups, hackathons, and community events — you enjoy being in the room, not just watching the livestream
- Strong written communicator — your Reddit replies get upvoted, your tweets get engagement, your Discord messages spark discussions
- You don't need someone to assign you conversations. You find them.
Nice to have
- Experience running a Discord or Slack community with 100+ active members
- Understanding of federated learning or privacy-preserving ML
- German language skills
- A personal following in ML spaces — a blog, a YouTube channel, a popular Kaggle notebook
- Experience at a developer tools company or open-source project
What we offer
- Work on a product that solves a real problem for ML teams — collaborative AI development without moving data
- Optional equity participation in a company building a category nobody else owns
- Direct work with the founding team — you're not managing a community for a faceless corporation
- Berlin office
- A Technical Growth Lead to work alongside — you're building the community engine together
- Conference and event budget — you'll be representing tracebloc where ML practitioners gather
How to apply
- Find a thread on Reddit, HuggingFace, or X where someone has a problem tracebloc could help with. Write the reply you'd post — no longer than a few paragraphs.
- Then describe how you'd build a Discord community for tracebloc from zero to 500 active members.
- Send both to careers@tracebloc.io.
