Technical Product Marketing Manager (Founding Hire)
Help define how the next generation of ML/AI tools go to market.
We’re looking for a founding Technical Product Marketing Manager who can speak both to developers and executives, someone who’s just as comfortable writing technical blog posts as they are presenting at industry conferences or shaping GTM strategy.
Our mission? To help engineers and researchers build data applications across ETL, analytics, and ML/AI, faster, more flexibly, and at scale.
We’ve built an open-source data engine that already runs on 800K+ CPU cores daily. Now we need someone who can help tell that story, connect with the community, and grow adoption from early users to enterprise teams.
What You’ll Work On:
Own and execute the go-to-market strategy from scratch
Create compelling technical content (blog posts, docs, demos, thought pieces)
Speak directly to developers and data scientists, and grow their trust
Build and nurture a community of users and contributors
Partner with engineering to turn deep tech into clear messaging
Evangelize the product at events, meetups, and online
Collaborate with enterprise customers to highlight their success stories
You’ll Thrive Here If You:
Have 5–10 years of product marketing experience (especially at Series A–C startups)
Have worked with developer tools, open-source tech, or data platforms
Understand how ML/AI workloads differ from traditional analytics
Can write clearly, think strategically, and explain technical ideas simply
Have grown developer communities, and know what makes them tick
Feel comfortable working on-site in San Francisco (4 days/week)
Why Now?
You’d be joining early, helping define how this product is positioned, adopted, and evangelized
The tech is real: open-source, enterprise-ready, and built for modern ML/AI workloads
The team includes builders from Tesla, AnyScale, and Lyft, and we’re backed by top-tier VCs and technical angels from Databricks, Meta, and beyond
Interested in building with a team that values curiosity, deep thinking, and serious scale?
