Full Job Description
About the Role

Socure's mission is to verify 100% of good identities in real time and eliminate identity fraud across the digital economy. We're hiring a Developer Marketing Lead to own how Socure shows up with the developer and technical buyer audience - from the first API call to a fully deployed integration.

You'll serve as the primary voice, strategist, and executor for developer-facing go-to-market efforts, acting as the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, and the field. This is a highly strategic, hands-on role for a senior marketer who thrives at the intersection of technical depth and commercial impact - someone who can speak fluently with engineers while driving the pipeline metrics that matter to sales.

Location Requirements:

We are currently only able to hire candidates located in one of our location hubs: New York City, NY and San Francisco, CA.

What You'll Do

Developer Positioning & Messaging
  • Define and execute a developer marketing strategy that spans awareness, activation, and retention across Socure's API and platform products.
  • Develop clear developer ICPs, technical value propositions, use cases, and competitive positioning that resonate with engineers, architects, and technical decision-makers.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to embed differentiated data, capabilities, and insights into developer-facing narratives.
  • Translate complex AI-driven identity and fraud capabilities into compelling, technically credible content that developers trust and share.
  • Deliver field-ready and self-serve enablement - integration guides, technical decks, API playbooks, sandbox environments, and developer ROI tools - that accelerate time-to-value.

Developer Campaign Strategy
  • Partner with GTM and Growth leaders to build and execute campaigns that generate qualified pipeline from technical audiences, including product-led growth motions.
  • Drive awareness within developer communities, forums, and ecosystems to position Socure as the default identity infrastructure for builders.
  • Own developer content programs: technical blogs, docs improvements, video walkthroughs, webinars, and conference presence (e.g., developer summits, API World, fintech hackathons).
  • Partner with RevOps to define success metrics, analyze funnel performance, and iterate - owning the developer funnel from first touch to activation.

Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Act as the developer marketing owner during planning cycles, QBRs, and product launches.
  • Influence stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Sales, DevRel, and Marketing to ensure alignment between what's built and how it's positioned.
  • Establish and track KPIs tied to developer signups, API activations, sandbox-to-production conversion, and technical pipeline contribution.
  • Bring market insights, developer community signals, competitive intelligence, and industry trends into GTM strategy discussions.


What You Bring
  • 6-8 years of B2B marketing experience, with a meaningful portion in developer marketing, product marketing for API/platform products, or technical content strategy.
  • Demonstrated success driving measurable pipeline and product adoption through developer-focused programs and technical go-to-market motions.
  • Strong ability to translate complex, AI-driven or data-centric technology into clear, compelling narratives for technical audiences - without losing the nuance.
  • Experience partnering closely with engineering and product teams, and influencing cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority.
  • Analytical rigor and a track record of tying developer marketing programs to business outcomes (activation rates, pipeline, retention).
  • Strong project management skills and the ability to drive multiple initiatives simultaneously in a fast-moving environment.
  • Bonus: hands-on experience with API documentation, SDKs, developer portals, or product-led growth strategies.
