Forem is an open-source platform for empowering communities. As a company, we directly operate several communities built on Forem, such as DEV — a gathering place for over 500k registered software developers. We also support Creators who are building their own communities on Forem.
As a Community Associate, you will contribute to the ongoing health of the entire Forem community ecosystem. You will respond to issues impacting individual community members, with a special emphasis on supporting DEV. You will also coordinate with Forem creators who are building new communities — you will help them work through issues, maximize their use of the platform, and ensure the continued success and health of their communities.
The Forem ecosystem is growing quickly, as is our company. As such, there will be ample opportunity for growth. We will empower our Community team with a clear pathway for career development at Forem.
