Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own product marketing strategy, positioning, and competitive differentiation tailored to technical buyers including engineers and product leaders.
  • Build and execute a long-form content strategy — blog posts, guides, and educational material — rooted in real customer use cases and designed to earn organic attention.
  • Craft messaging and talk tracks that make complex product value clear and compelling to developer audiences.
  • Own the website experience, ensuring it speaks directly to customer problems rather than just describing features.
  • Activate founder and team voices across social channels, newsletters, and industry platforms to build authentic presence.

  • Strong product marketing fundamentals: positioning, messaging, competitive differentiation, and launch execution.
  • Exceptional writing skills that translate technical complexity into clear, compelling narratives.
  • Track record of building earned content that drives genuine attention and measurable business results.
  • Proven ability to own the full marketing function independently, building systems rather than just executing within them.
  • Experience with demand generation programs including developer conferences, executive engagement, and pipeline creation.

Preferred

  • Background in developer tools, APIs, infrastructure software, or AI/ML products strongly preferred.
  • Experience building founder or executive thought leadership programs is a plus.
  • Experience creating sales enablement materials and competitive talk tracks is a plus.
