Full Job Description
About the Role

We're a small, technical team in San Francisco building infrastructure for AI labs and enterprises - specifically a marketplace and platform that powers reinforcement learning (RL) environments, post-training data, and model evaluation at scale. Our team includes Olympiad medalists and published AI researchers, and we're on a mission to make the future of RL training open and accessible.

We're looking for a Marketing & Events Lead to own our brand voice, grow inbound interest, and build community around a highly technical product. This is a pivotal, early-stage role - you'll be the primary driver of how we tell our story to frontier AI labs, enterprises, RL researchers, and the broader developer ecosystem.

This is a fully on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without employer-sponsored visa support.
What You'll Do
  • Own and execute the overall marketing strategy and content calendar from day one.
  • Lead our social media presence on Twitter/X and LinkedIn to grow audience, engagement, and inbound pipeline.
  • Ghostwrite high-quality content for founders - communicating product vision, platform milestones, and technical insights.
  • Translate complex RL and AI concepts into clear, compelling narratives for a technical audience.
  • Develop and continuously refine brand voice, positioning, and storytelling across all channels.
  • Experiment with content formats and double down on what drives measurable results.
  • Identify high-leverage event opportunities - conferences, hackathons, and technical community gatherings - where our audience already is.
  • Plan and run memorable, high-quality events that reinforce brand and generate pipeline.
  • Support the founding team with event presence, including preparation for talks and panels.
What We're Looking For

Required:
  • Genuine excitement about frontier AI models and a passion for storytelling in a deeply technical space.
  • Demonstrated experience in marketing, content, or community roles at startups.
  • A strong track record of growing social accounts or company brand presence.
  • A writing portfolio that shows you can understand technical products and explain them simply and accurately.
  • Experience planning and running events, meetups, or community programs end-to-end.
  • Ability to work independently and move fast in an early-stage environment.
  • Proficiency with core marketing tools: CRM, email marketing platforms, and social media management tools.
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and events concurrently.

Nice to Have:
  • Background marketing AI/ML products, developer tools, or technical platforms.
  • An existing network within the RL research, RL engineering, or broader startup communities.
  • Familiarity with analytics tools and growth strategies for social and content channels.
  • A clear, articulated point of view on how great technical companies build brand and tell stories.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary: $100,000 - $150,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
  • Opportunity for equity in a well-funded, early-stage AI infrastructure company.
  • Work directly with a world-class technical founding team at the frontier of AI research and tooling.
  • High ownership and impact from day one in a small, fast-moving team.
Location

This role is on-site in San Francisco, CA. We're building a collaborative, in-person team culture. Remote or hybrid arrangements are not available for this position. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States; we are not able to provide visa sponsorship at this time.
