Technical Community Lead - US

DRYFT

Ideas only change the world when you build them at scale. That’s what Dryft is here for.

Dryft builds models that automate complex human decisions in manufacturing operations. We capture the knowledge of experienced operators across supply chain, production planning, engineering and more, simulate the consequences of their decisions, and use this understanding to help run their business. Our customers include some of the largest robotics, machine and component manufacturers in the world.

We’re a small, talent-dense team with modest roots and a love for the physical world: cars, machines, planes. Our team includes graduates from Stanford, Berkeley, CDTM and TUM, winners of Stanford TreeHacks, recipients of Fulbright & Haniel scholarships, and people who have built everything from robots and race cars to software with millions of downloads.

What matters more to us than credentials is how people work: humility, hard work, speed, kindness, deep customer care, and a willingness to take on problems others avoid. Working at Dryft is hard. You get unusual ownership early on, with real responsibility. But that’s also what makes it one of the biggest learning experiences of your life.

We’re backed by founders and operators behind some of the most legendary tech companies of our time, Tier-1 U.S. venture firms, and board members of global industrial companies.

ERPs ran the physical world for half a century. Dryft is building the intelligence layer that will power the next.

THE ROLE

The best startups are built by exceptional people. As our Technical Community Lead, you'll spend your time meeting the most extraordinary builders, students, operators, founders and investors, often before they are actively considering their next move.

• Host the room everyone wants to be in – run the hackathons, events and parties the best builders fly in for, where they meet each other, and meet Dryft

• Connected everywhere it counts – from lecture halls to VC offices to late-night founder dinners, grow a network around Dryft that opens every door

• Raise the bar with every hire – turn those relationships into exceptional hires; every person you bring into Dryft should raise the bar for the entire company

Building the world's best team is Dryft's highest priority, and this role gives you a front-row seat to what it takes to build a generational company.

​

YOU

• Community builder – you bring together exceptional builders, founders and researchers, and nobody leaves when it's over

• Talent radar – you know "who is going to make it" before anyone else; you might even run a secret spreadsheet of them at home

• Magnetic energy – people feel it the moment you walk in; exceptional people are drawn to you, and leave inspired and excited about an ambitious mission

• Founder mindset – you move with urgency, take full ownership, and build networks and systems from the ground up

• Engineer at heart – you understand what engineers and operators are building, and they can tell from the first conversation

• Relocation – you're ready to work onsite in San Francisco (we support visa)
