Orbit | Remote | US and Europe timezones | Full-time | https://orbit.love
Orbit is hiring multiple roles in engineering, product, and beyond! We're helping organizations build enthusiastic communities of technology adopters. Our community experience platform helps companies identify, measure, and improve their community members’ engagement, all while focusing on creating value instead of merely capturing it.
We are former developer advocates and community builders ourselves, and now we’re creating the tools we wished we had so that others can build highly engaged communities of their own. We're backed by an amazing group of angels and investors including Coatue, Andreessen Horowitz, Heavybit, and Harrison Metal.
We are a remote-first company operating between UTC-7 and UTC+3. Bonus points for being in France, US, or UK, but as long as you're in that time zone range, we're happy to talk.
We're growing very fast and hiring across more than 10 roles, including but not limited to:
* Software Engineer (Rails)
* Engineering Manager
* Solutions Engineer
* Data Analyst
* Community Advocate - Developer Communities

Great way of putting it. When we were considering moving our community from Slack to Discord[1], we actually did a Request for Comment[2] laying-out our rationale, and asked for comments on the doc. I think this went a long way towards building trust and buy-in around big community decisions.

That's not the point being made in the article, though. It's not saying marketers should do community, but rather that companies should invest in community instead of marketing for mutual benefit (members and company).
