Job Summary

Own and drive marketing strategy and narrative across channels, with a focus on technical differentiation, launches, and founder collaboration.

  • Define and execute the marketing strategy and calendar.
  • Create content from complex technical work.
  • Lead launches and events with founders, engineers, and partners.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define marketing strategy, audiences, positioning, narrative, priorities, and the operating calendar
  • Make highly technical differentiation clear without oversimplifying it
  • Develop the company's voice and visual direction, then create content for the website, X, LinkedIn, newsletters, video, and other relevant formats
  • Build founder-led social by turning technical work, ideas, and market observations into distinctive posts, essays, and commentary
  • Plan and execute product, model, partnership, research, and company launches across owned channels, communities, press, podcasts, and partners
  • Own conferences, dinners, meetups, workshops, and developer events from concept and audience selection through execution and follow-up
  • Work with engineers and customers to produce accurate case studies, technical articles, benchmark narratives, videos, and sales materials
  • Keep the website current and distribute work through social, email, communities, events, partners, and targeted programs
  • Build a practical scorecard and lightweight workflows using AI, automation, contractors, and software

Requirements

  • Exceptional writing, with samples of work you personally created
  • Early-stage experience where the strategy, process, and assets were not already built for you
  • Roughly 3+ years across marketing, growth, communications, content, community, or a similarly broad role — quality matters more than the exact number
  • The ability to move comfortably between strategy, creative work, project management, and hands-on execution
  • Strong taste — you know when a message, page, event, or piece of content is not good enough
  • Technical curiosity and a willingness to learn models, inference, latency, throughput, and GPU infrastructure
  • A practical approach to measurement that improves judgment without reducing marketing to impressions, raw leads, or last-click attribution
  • Proactive, organized, and comfortable working directly with founders, engineers, customers, and external partners
  • In person in San Francisco, 5 days/week
  • Visa sponsorship and transfers are available, including H-1B, O-1, TN, and STEM OPT

Preferred

  • Experience with AI infrastructure, developer tools, or another technical product
  • Founder-led social or ghostwriting for technical founders
  • Technical content, benchmark storytelling, or customer case studies
  • Product launches, communications, press, podcasts, events, or community building
  • Design, video, web tools, or marketing automation skills
  • Heavy use of AI and automation in your own workflow

Benefits

  • $140–180K base + equity — plus fully covered medical, dental, and vision, daily lunch and dinner, unlimited PTO, and a $1K/month housing stipend near the office
  • Founding ownership — build the marketing function rather than inherit somebody else's playbook
  • Work directly with the founders and GTM lead, with close access to engineers and customers
  • Own both strategy and the finished work across brand, content, launches, events, and distribution
  • Turn real technical progress and customer outcomes into the story the market sees
  • Small, fast-moving team where strong work can immediately change company momentum
