Open Source Community Manager, Kiro Crew, Open Source Strategy & Marketing

Kiro Crew is an open source persistent self-evolving coding agent built on Kiro CLI. It started as an internal Amazon project where hundreds of engineers adopted it filed bugs contributed features and shaped the product through direct feedback with the engineering team. That internal culture of contribution and trust is the foundation this role inherits.

Now Kiro Crew lives on GitHub and were opening this thriving internal community to the world. Theres already an engaged developer base established contribution norms and a product team accustomed to building with community input. Whats missing is someone to translate that internal energy into external growth among developers who dont yet know the project.

Were looking for an Open Source Community Manager to own that transition. Youll be the two-way bridge: representing the product to external developers while channeling their signal back to the team.
