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.
