Creators of technology trusted by over 60% of the Fortune 500, Sysdig gives teams the real-time clarity to move fast and defend what matters most.

Culture matters here. We believe diversity fuels stronger ideas, and open dialogue drives sharper decisions. Recognized as a Best Place to Work and one of Deloitte's fastest-growing companies for the past 5 years, we're here to raise the standard for what cloud security and workplace culture should be.

  • Reporting to the Sr. Director, Product Marketing, you will design and implement the strategy and daily operations of this forum, turning it into a vibrant, inclusive space that accelerates community growth and work with our open source user base of security engineers, DevOps practitioners and researchers from onboarding to power user—by reducing friction, developing knowledge-base.
  • You will define and track community health metrics (e.g., MAU, NPS, response times, churn), set quarterly OKRs, and ensure engagement. Establish standards, and improving content discoverability through tagging.
  • You will foster a welcoming and respectful environment by enforcing the code of conduct, responding to complex posts or escalating to SMEs, and maintaining Discourse plug-ins and integrations.

  • You will build community advocacy through MVP/ambassador programs, recognition efforts, and weekly "Top Threads" recaps for newsletters and social media, while channeling feedback to influence product and documentation roadmaps.

What you will bring with you

  • Prior hands-on experience with open-source security tools (e.g., Falco, Wireshark, Stratoshark, SysdigOSS).
