Founding Community & Social.

CommunityRemote (US) · Visalia, CA HQ optionalFounding role · equity + revenue share
The honest deal

Founding equity + revenue share. No cash comp until we raise or revenue supports it — we mean that, and we say it up front.

sparx grows by word of mouth from people who trust us. You build that trust in public, every day, in the places our future tenants already spend their time.

You run our social presence with an actual point of view, start and steward a community people want to be in, and turn quiet product updates into stories worth sharing. You are also the ear to the ground — what people love, what breaks, what they wish existed — and you carry it straight back to the team.

This is founding work, so you build the accounts and the community from close to zero. That is the appeal: you define how sparx sounds and behaves in public before anyone else does.

What you'll own

  • The sparx social presence across the platforms our audience uses — voice, cadence, and everything that ships
  • A community our tenants and builders genuinely want to be part of, and the culture inside it
  • Developer and merchant relations: onboarding early users, gathering feedback, and turning fans into advocates
  • Storytelling — customer wins, build-in-public updates, and the behind-the-scenes of a small team shipping fast
  • The loop from community back to product, so the roadmap reflects what people actually ask for

What we're looking for

  • You have grown a real audience or community before — yours or a company’s — and can show it
  • You write and post in a voice people remember, without leaning on hype or engagement bait
  • You genuinely like talking to people all day and helping them, not just broadcasting at them
  • You are organized enough to keep a content cadence and a community running solo
  • You want ownership and equity over a salaried social-manager role — read the comp line

Nice to have

  • You have done developer relations or creator and merchant relations before
  • Comfort on camera or with short-form video
  • You already spend time where small businesses and builders hang out
