Inferact, founded by the creators and core maintainers of vLLM, is seeking a Social Media Manager to own the daily voice, publishing strategy, and audience growth across developer-focused social channels for both vLLM (the open-source AI inference engine) and Inferact (the company).
You will manage brand accounts, founder communications, launch amplification, technical content, and community programming. The role requires strong technical judgment, fast execution, and the ability to make vLLM community content and Inferact company content feel distinct while operating as one coordinated system.
30-60-90 Day Milestones:
30 Days: Take full control of daily posting, scheduling, and replies across vLLM and Inferact accounts. Own the social side of the rebrand launch alongside the website. Publish a voice guide that clearly separates the vLLM community voice from the Inferact company voice.
60 Days: Run the founder program for Simon, Woosuk, Kaichao, and Roger with ghostwriting, approval loops, and publishing cadence. Launch and test new channels (Hacker News, Instagram, TikTok) using conference clips, event photos, and technical explainers. Own partner amplification so co-marketing posts are reshared by ecosystem partners on launch day. Own a recurring video format such as a weekly vLLM feature explainer.
90 Days: Build a repeatable social launch system with tiered templates, asset checklists, pre-scheduled cross-posting, partner amplification, and reporting. Set follower, engagement, and traffic targets for 2027 by account and channel, reporting monthly. Use 60 days of performance data to decide which channels to scale. Propose community programs such as contributor spotlights, creator programs, and employee advocacy, and define future team capacity needs.
