Youll own the logistics and on-the-ground experience for user conferences community meetups workshops and sponsored event presences creating moments that engage and excite engineers in attendance.

This is a hands-on logistics-first role. Youll manage the full event lifecycle from venue sourcing and vendor management through to day-of execution working closely with our GTM and Brand teams to keep everything running smoothly and on-brand.
