Job Description
Job DescriptionAbout the Role
This is a founding GTM role at a seed-stage AI infrastructure startup that has hit product-market fit early and is now growing faster than its current team can handle. You'll own the entire go-to-market function from day one, working directly with the founder to build marketing, sharpen the sales pipeline, and prove out a repeatable GTM motion — all hands-on, before you hire a team beneath you.
What You'll Do
-
Own marketing end-to-end: positioning, messaging, content strategy, product launches, and demand generation.
-
Co-own brand and story direction with the founder, then execute and iterate based on real results.
-
Analyze and optimize the sales pipeline — how leads arrive, get qualified, and where they stall — then fix the bottlenecks.
-
Run continuous experiments and use data, not opinions, to decide what to double down on.
-
Write copy, build email sequences, and manage GTM ops including tooling, tracking, and reporting.
-
Communicate authentically with a technical audience — engineers and platform teams who are allergic to marketing speak.
-
Hire and manage marketers once the playbook is validated.
What We're Looking For
-
3+ years of hands-on B2B growth experience, ideally carrying a company from Series A through Series B — in the room making decisions, not adjacent to them.
-
Strong technical fluency: you can explain agent testing, infrastructure concepts, or developer tooling to engineers without needing a translator.
-
Proven track record running A/B tests and building marketing judgment through experimentation volume, not theory.
-
Background in developer tools, infrastructure, or platform companies strongly preferred.
-
Published technical writing for a real audience — newsletter, blog, Substack, or documentation people actually read.
-
Experience leading a company through repositioning or a rebrand and measuring its impact on metrics.
-
Prior experience hiring and managing at least a small marketing team.
-
Based in San Francisco or willing to relocate — this is an on-site role.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary starting at $180,000 USD annually (top of range not specified). Equity expected at this stage. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
On-site in San Francisco, CA. Relocation candidates welcome; remote work is not available for this role.
