Developer Relations & Community Lead (Open Source)

About Us

We’re Blazity — a team of React.js and Next.js experts building modern digital products and long-term technology partnerships. We work closely with our clients as trusted technology advisors, delivering scalable web platforms, e-commerce ecosystems and custom software products.

Alongside client work, we actively invest in our own products and open-source ecosystem.

One of our key initiatives is MDCMS — an open-source, AI-native content engine and Markdown-first CMS designed for modern developer workflows.

MDCMS is built around code-first schemas, developer tooling, AI workflows and open infrastructure principles. We see it not only as a product, but as an ecosystem — one we want to grow together with contributors, developers, creators and the wider OSS community.

As MDCMS grows, we are expanding our focus beyond product development toward building a strong developer ecosystem and community around it.

We believe great open-source products are built not only through code, but through contributors, education, events and authentic developer engagement.

About the Role

We are looking for a Developer Relations & Community Lead (Open Source) passionate about open source, developer ecosystems and community building.

Your mission will be to help build and grow the global developer community around MDCMS and support the growth of its open-source ecosystem.

This role combines Developer Relations (DevRel), community building, ecosystem development and developer engagement initiatives. You will work closely with founders, engineers and product teams to help transform MDCMS into a visible and active open-source ecosystem.

A key part of this role will also be building developer engagement through events and community initiatives — helping create experiences that bring contributors and developers together.

This role sits at the intersection of:

• Developer Relations (DevRel)
• Open-source community building
• Community growth and engagement
• Developer ecosystem development
• Events and ecosystem activation
• Developer marketing and GTM initiatives

We are looking for someone who understands how OSS communities grow and has experience building engagement around technical products, open-source projects or developer ecosystems.
