About Tribe AI

At Tribe, we’re on a mission to help enterprises realize the value of AI for their business. Today, every large enterprise wants to use AI to transform its business, but they often lack the capabilities to do so. At Tribe, we see this gap as our opportunity.

Tribe is an AI-native services company that helps enterprises build best-in-class AI products that matter for their business. One of the unique aspects of Delivery at Tribe is that we staff our projects from a network of 600+ specialized AI engineers and product builders, rather than a traditional W2 workforce. This approach allows us to tap into a pool of top-tier talent from leading Tech companies, and build teams specifically for the needs of each project. By avoiding the constraints of a traditional bench model, we ensure differentiated customer outcomes with a model that can scale up with market demand.

About the Role

We are seeking a Developer Community and Talent Lead to play a pivotal role in how Tribe builds and scales its network of world-class AI engineers and product builders. This role sits at the center of our model: connecting the right people to the right projects while designing the systems and tools that make this process repeatable and scalable.

As both advocate and builder, you will develop a deep understanding of our members — their skills, aspirations, and availability — and ensure they are staffed on work where they thrive. You will bring judgment not only to technical depth, but also to how members show up with customers, evaluating presence, communication, and gravitas. You will also design programs and events that keep our community engaged and inspired.

This is a hands-on, high-leverage role. Success means creating the conditions for great delivery: seamless staffing, stronger project outcomes, and client confidence in every Tribe team. Over time, you’ll codify what works into systems and frameworks that scale, while staying plugged into the fast-moving world of AI.

Key Responsibilities

Staffing & Matching

  • Match members to projects by balancing skills, availability, and team chemistry.
  • Create those “magic” staffing moments where teams click and deliver.
  • Anticipate risks early to ensure matches succeed long-term.

Talent Vetting & Standards

  • Develop clear rubrics to guide consistent evaluation.
  • Assess members for both technical depth and client presence.
  • Partner with delivery teams to maintain high standards.

Community Management

  • Build authentic relationships and act as an advocate for member growth.
  • Design programs and events that keep top talent excited, engaged, and connected.

Systems & Process Building

  • Codify what works into repeatable processes and tools.
  • Create systems that reduce churn, improve efficiency, and scale.

Stay Current & On-Trend

  • Track emerging AI tools, frameworks, and best practices.
  • Share insights with the community and bring fresh ideas into Tribe’s work.

About You

  • 5+ years of relevant experience. 
  • Strong emotional intelligence and a natural ability to build relationships.
  • Enough technical depth to speak the language of AI engineers and curiosity to stay current with new tools.
  • High agency, with a track record of founding, building, or owning initiatives.
  • Organized and systems-oriented, able to distill complexity into clear, repeatable processes.
  • Hands-on executor with a bias toward action and fast progress.
    Able to evaluate both technical capability and how individuals show up with clients.
  • Motivated by building community through programs and experiences that inspire

Why Join Us

  • High-Leverage Impact: Play a central role in how Tribe builds and scales its community of world-class AI talent.
  • Builder’s Opportunity: Go beyond staffing — design the systems and programs that define how an elite AI community operates at scale.
    Cutting-Edge Environment: Stay plugged into the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem, collaborating with top engineers and product builders while bringing fresh insights back into the community.
