Sr. Growth Marketing Manager, AI Discovery

Responsibilities

• - Own search. Run Chainguard’s SEO program end to end: keyword strategy, content, programmatic pages, and technical optimization. Partner with Web and PMM to turn high-intent traffic into signups, demos, and pipeline.
• - Agent as researcher. Get ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews to surface and recommend Chainguard. Your levers are content, structured data, and the third-party sources models learn from. Track how often we’re cited and recommended, and grow it.
• - Agent as user. Make Chainguard the default choice when Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex picks tools for a developer. Map the agent adoption journey (discover, auth, pull, build, verify) and remove friction at every step. Partner with Product to build and maintain our MCP server, Agent Skills, plugins, CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md snippets, llms.txt, and agent-readable quickstarts, and keep them listed where agents look.
• - Measure what works. Run evals of real developer prompts across models and coding agents to learn which assets actually get Chainguard recommended and used. Build attribution that ties organic, AI-referred, and agent-originated signups to pipeline.

Requirements

• - 4+ years in growth, developer marketing, or technical product, with measurable funnel ownership for technical audiences.
• - Hands-on SEO and AEO experience, including technical SEO, keyword strategy, content, and measurement.
• - Terminal fluency and advanced SQL: you can build a working MCP server or agent skill, and you answer your own questions from the data.
• - A daily coding-agent habit, with opinions on how agents choose tools and where they fail.
• - A track record of driving work through cross-functional partners without direct authority, in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Preferred

• - Experience in cybersecurity or the cloud-native ecosystem (containers, Kubernetes, software supply chain security).

Benefits

• - Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
• - Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
• - 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
• - ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
• - 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
