The opportunity
Build the community behind the code.
Great developer platforms are not only made of documentation and code. They are built by people helping people.
As a Community Intern, you will help create an environment where developers feel comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, contributing to open source, attending events, and learning together.
You will work across community engagement, contributor onboarding, events, communication, feedback collection, and community programs.
This is a hands-on role. Instead of simply posting content, you will learn how communities actually grow: by creating useful experiences, listening carefully, and helping people take their next step.

Questions
Before you apply.
A few things to know about the Community Intern role.
No. This internship is designed for people who want to learn community building. What matters most is communication, initiative, empathy, organization, and genuine interest in helping developers.
You do not need to be an advanced programmer. However, familiarity with programming, GitHub, or developer communities will help you understand the people you are supporting.
Depending on the community's needs, you may work with GitHub, Discord, social platforms, newsletters, event tools, documentation, and other collaboration channels.
Yes. Ownership is encouraged. If you identify a useful workshop, contributor campaign, event, discussion, or onboarding improvement, you can propose it and help take it from idea to execution.
No. Social media is only one part of community work. The role also includes contributor onboarding, events, discussions, feedback collection, documentation, open-source engagement, and improving the overall community experience.
Community experience can build valuable skills in developer relations, developer advocacy, content, product, education, operations, event management, and open-source program management.
Build with the community
Help create a place where developers want to belong.
If you enjoy bringing people together, helping others, and creating meaningful developer experiences, this could be your opportunity to start building real community experience.
Community experience, event work, open-source contributions, student communities, clubs, or personal community projects can all demonstrate your potential.
