Community Programs Manager
Why Cast AI?
Cast AI is an automation platform that operates cloud-native and AI infrastructure at scale. By embedding autonomous decision-making directly into Kubernetes and cloud environments, Cast AI continuously optimizes performance, reliability, and efficiency in production.
The old way doesn't work. As Kubernetes and AI environments grow, manual decisions don't. Cast AI replaces tickets, alerts, and manual tuning with continuous automation that adapts infrastructure as conditions change. Efficiency and cost savings follow naturally from that automation.
Over 2,100 companies already rely on Cast AI, including Akamai, BMW, Cisco, FICO, HuggingFace, NielsenIQ, Swisscom, and TGS.
Global team, diverse perspectives
We're headquartered in Miami, but our impact is international. We take a global and intentional approach to diversity. Today, Cast AI operates across 34 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, and APAC, bringing a wide range of perspectives into how we build and lead.
Unicorn momentum
In January 2026, we achieved unicorn status with a strategic investment from Pacific Alliance Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Shinsegae Group (a $50+ billion Korean conglomerate). Our valuation now exceeds $1 billion, and we're just getting started.
Join us as we build the future of autonomous infrastructure.
About the role
You'll own the programs that turn our community into a real movement. We run two products under one roof: Cast AI for cloud-native infrastructure, and Kimchi, our agentic AI coding product. Both have growing communities, and both need someone who can support programs that scale, run effective events, and make practitioners feel recognized and connected.
This is a hands-on operations role. You'll help design programs, build relationships with community members, handle logistics, manage budgets, and coordinate across regions.
You'll report into the Ecosystem Growth team, working closely with Community, DevRel, Demand Gen, and the wider growth function.

- Hands-on experience organizing trade shows, conferences, or community events, including booth management, vendor coordination, and on-site execution.
- Experience running community programs such as advocacy, ambassador, or certification. Strong project management skills and the ability to run multiple events and programs at once. Comfortable working with vendors, negotiating contracts, and managing logistics across regions.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
- A self-starter who thrives on ownership and works well in a distributed, fast-moving team.
Huge bonus:
- Experience in Agentic AI or Cloud-Native industries.
- AI-Native approach: building workflows, automations, and using agentic tooling in their work daily.
Responsibilities:
- Community advocacy and recognition. Supporting and driving programs that celebrate the practitioners who show up for our community, and keep them engaged over time.
- Ambassador and certification. The path for community members to go deeper with us through content, advocacy, and certification, across both internal and external tracks.
- Community events. Our presence at third-party conferences and community events like KCD, DevOpsDays, SREcon, CloudNativeCon, and similar, end-to-end.
- Regional meetups and socials. Community meetups and social events across EMEA, APAC, AMER, and LATAM, in a repeatable format that keeps our key cities' calendars full.
- Community Experience & Customer swag. A program that gets the right thing to customers at the right moment in their journey.
- New programs as we grow. As Kimchi scales, you'll help launch new community programs for it. Expect this to expand, and expect to shape it.
