About Us

Most AI is frozen in place - it doesn’t adapt to the world. We think that’s backwards. Our mandate is to build efficient intelligence that evolves in real-time. We bring together exceptional people with the drive and creativity to push the boundaries of continual adaptation. We’re looking for builders and creative thinkers ready to shape the next era of intelligence.

Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in accountability, initiative and shared success. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world. We operate with low egos, high velocity, and extreme ownership to build technology that expands access and benefits the many, not the few.

How We Work

• Impact over activity: We are building a generational company. We value people who execute on ideas rather than comment from the sidelines. We believe our competitive edge lies in caring about excellence across the entire lifecycle - from research to product. No task is beneath anyone: no one is too senior to test the build, clean the data, or unblock a teammate.

• Vulnerable, low-ego collaboration: We believe exceptional work comes from people who challenge, support and push one another to think bigger. Rapid iteration requires stepping into discomfort. We encourage bold, half-baked, and unorthodox ideas. When we disagree, we share feedback directly, never through side channels.

• Celebrate decisively: Extraordinary effort should be deeply memorable. We celebrate milestones generously and publicly - via spot bonuses, team dinners, spontaneous gifts, and company-wide recognition - to fuel each other for the next sprint.

The Role

Our vision is AI systems that are flexible, adaptable, and accessible to everyone. We believe efficiency is what makes this possible. It’s how we expand access and ensure innovation benefits the many, not the few.

Part of that commitment is to engage with a wider ecosystem of early adopters, researchers and developers, and make sure we engage deeply with our mission of building progress at the edge of what is possible.

You authentically care about our mission of empowering builders globally to have more control over AI. Your core strength is bringing people together. You craft and organize experiences that allow users to connect with Adaption, our team, and with each other.

What You'll Do

• Establish our overall strategy for supporting developers, researchers and enterprises who want to have more control over their AI.

• Build and maintain Adaption's developer community spaces (Discord server, forums) from the ground up, answer questions, capture feedback, and turn it into actionable issues for the team

• Develop, manage, and run Adaption's ambassador program, from recruiting and onboarding ambassadors to equipping them with the resources, recognition, and support to represent Adaption in their own communities.

• Organize and lead meetups, hackathons, office hours, and live streams that introduce Adaption to new developer audiences

• Collaborate with developer groups, universities, accelerators, and open-source communities to co-host and amplify high-quality events

• Spotlight user projects and design partners (case studies, writeups, guest talks).

• Build automations and systems that make community operations scale - when you do something twice, you figure out how to do it better the third time

• Work closely with technical and marketing teams on cross-functional projects and feedback loops

• Stay connected with community members over time, keeping a mental map of who's doing interesting work, who should meet who, and what people are building

Skills You'll Bring

We look beyond traditional markers of experience. What matters most to us is what you’ve built and the impact you’ve had. We value demonstrable output, curiosity and alignment with our core values:

• 2–3 years in a community lead role or start up ops role, with a track record of engaging technical users

• Strong operations instincts - you've built scalable processes from scratch and driven cross-functional initiatives to completion

• Strong written communication and experience engaging with communities over socials (Discord, X)

• Proven experience organizing developer events end-to-end, from small meetups to large-scale hackathons

• Genuine empathy for developers and curiosity about what they're building - you care about individuals, and about changing the status quo of who can shape AI. Energized by people - social situations charge you up, you're the first to say hello, and you follow up

Above all, we're looking for great teammates who make work feel lighter and aren't afraid to go out on a limb with bold ideas. You don't need to be perfect, but you do need to be adaptable. We encourage you to apply, even if you don't check every box.

What We Offer

• Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

• Growth paths: A dynamic environment with opportunities to take on new challenges, expand your responsibilities, and make an impact beyond your immediate role.

• Adaption Passport: An annual travel allowance to explore somewhere new, experience different cultures and keep expanding your horizons. It can be used to travel to any country you haven’t previously been to.

• Lunch on us: A weekly allowance for takeout or grocery delivery, wherever you are in the world. Whether it's stocking your fridge or having dinner delivered, it’s one less thing to think about.

• Comprehensive benefits: High-quality medical coverage and benefits designed to support your health and well-being.

• Team offsites and visits to SF HQ: We're a global team, but believe there's real value in spending time together in person. We regularly bring teammates together at our SF HQ and for team offsites in locations around the world, including London, Mexico City, and New York.
