Director of Software Development

As Director, Community Systems, you will lead a senior strategic role responsible for building and stewarding the systems, data infrastructure, and communications workflows that power Praxis's community at scale. This is not a traditional “operations” role — it is a community architecture role, designed for someone who understands that a healthy ecosystem requires healthy systems.</div><div><br>Praxis cultivates a dense, global network of founders, funders, venture builders, thinkers, and creatives. The Director, Community Systems is responsible for owning the systems and tools that underpin the community’s ability to connect and work on shared projects together, while building the workflows that allow Praxis to be effective and efficient to this end.</div><div><br>The role also owns Praxis’s communications infrastructure, including the systems and tools that ensure the right messages reach the core community at the right time, across relational outreach, personalized invitations, and custom digests. As an organization that is deeply engaged in building, prototyping, and integrating AI-powered solutions, this role will be a key driver of intelligent approaches across community and communications workflows.</div><div><br><strong>The Kind of Person Who Thrives in This Role</strong></div><div><strong>Sees data as relationships</strong></div><div>You understand that data systems are only as good as the human intelligence behind it.

When you solve a problem you’re always asking: “should this solution be made repeatable and if so, how?”</div><div><strong>Values being a multiplier</strong></div><div>You understand that your role exists to amplify others’ effectiveness. The best days are when your behind-the-scenes infrastructure allows program teams to seamlessly make a high-impact introduction, send a perfectly timed email, or track a community member from first touchpoint to funded venture.</div><div><strong>Communicates with patience and clarity</strong></div><div>You can explain technical concepts to non-technical people without making them feel foolish. You write clear documentation and enjoy acting as a coach or teacher when rolling out new systems.</div><div><strong>Thinks like a detective</strong></div><div>When something breaks or a community member falls through the cracks, you’re curious rather than frustrated. You enjoy troubleshooting, investigating root causes, and finding elegant solutions that prevent the same gap from appearing twice.</div><div><br><strong>Key Areas of Responsibility</strong></div><div><strong>Community Systems &amp;
