Full Job Description
Community Builder @ Kilo Code (Part-time, 10–15 hrs/week)
About Kilo: We're building the fastest-evolving open-source AI coding agent to make programming accessible to billions. In just a few months: #1 AI coding tool on OpenRouter, over 500K downloads, countless 5-star reviews, multiple Hacker News front-page articles. But we're just getting started.
Kilo Code is more than just another coding tool. We're creating a superset of the best features from existing AI coding agents, combined with our own innovations — all built with community feedback at the core.
The situation: We’re an open-source AI coding tool taking on Cursor, Windsurf, and the rest. Our community is growing fast — vibrant on Discord, budding on Reddit, and ready for more connection. We want every Kilo user, from open-source contributors to free-tier builders, to feel part of something alive. Your job is to make that happen.
We believe great products grow from great communities — ones that are curious, welcoming, and a little bit chaotic in the best way.
