Job Summary

Drive growth and OSS-to-enterprise revenue for QuestDB by coordinating the OSS funnel, GTM motions, and AI-enabled processes.

  • Own and optimize the OSS funnel from exposure to conversion.
  • Scale inbound, outbound, and ABM motions for ICPs in finance, crypto, and energy.
  • Lead events, media relations, and analyst engagement to raise category visibility.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Open-source growth. GitHub stars, Docker pulls, Slack community, documentation engagement, conversion from OSS user to commercial conversation. You'll treat the OSS funnel as a product and instrument it accordingly.
  • Pipeline generation. Own the top-of-funnel number alongside our sales leads. Build and scale inbound, outbound, and ABM motions against our core ICP: capital markets (banks, hedge funds, market makers, exchanges), crypto, and energy firms - with increasing fit in defense/aerospace and robotics. We need qualified meetings with quant engineers, heads of trading tech, data platform leads, and CTOs.
  • Events, conferences, and industry presence. Own QuestDB's calendar at the events that matter - TradingTech Summit, STAC, Quant Strats, Digital Assets Week, and adjacent capital markets forums. Run customer panels, analyst roundtables, targeted dinners, and sponsored tracks. Build relationships with industry media and analysts. Make QuestDB unavoidable in our category.
  • SEO, agentic referrals, and analytics. Drive organic traffic through traditional SEO and position QuestDB to win in LLM-based discovery - where an increasing share of technical buyers now start their research. Build the analytics stack to measure the funnel end-to-end: source -> OSS adoption -> SQL -> closed-won.
  • Leverage through agentic platforms. You should be the person on the team most fluent with Claude, Cursor, custom MCP integrations, and workflow automation. We expect growth ops - enrichment, outbound sequencing, content generation, competitive research - to run at 10x the headcount of a traditional growth team. If you're not already building this way, this isn't the role for you.

Requirements

  • Relevant experience in growth, marketing, or developer relations at a B2B infrastructure or developer-tools company, or from a commercial role in capital markets or crypto with deep domain expertise and a buyer network
  • Track record of scaling an open-source or bottom-up developer community into enterprise revenue
  • Ability to credibly engage with technical buyers - CTOs, quant engineers, heads of trading tech. You don't need to write C++, but you should be able to read a benchmark and hold a conversation about latency
  • Analytical chops - comfortable in SQL, fluent in attribution, allergic to vanity metrics
  • Native fluency with agentic AI tooling - you automate by default
  • Comfort with ambiguity and small teams. This is a zero-to-one role

Preferred

  • Experience at a commercial OSS company
  • Existing network in trading technology or quantitative finance
  • Technical fluency - acquired through any path: formal training, engineering experience, self-taught coding, open-source contributions, or time spent close to technical teams

Benefits

  • Generous equity options package
  • Flexible working hours
  • 100% remote
  • Freedom of choice for your technical equipment
  • Truly international team: 10+ nationalities
  • Transparent, collaborative, and inclusive culture
  • Exciting opportunities for career progression as we grow
  • High autonomy - you set your own pace in a collaborative environment
