We’re looking for an ambitious, technical, and community-driven Fractional Head of Developer Marketing to build and lead the marketing and community function for an early-stage AI developer tooling startup.This is a hands-on role where you’ll work closely with the founder to build a developer audience, shape the company’s voice, and create a strong community around AI-powered software development.

You’ll own the strategy, drive execution, and help establish a repeatable marketing engine from the ground up.

About The Company The company is building an observability and governance platform for AI coding agents, helping engineering teams understand, supervise, and improve AI-assisted software development. The product is designed to provide visibility into AI agent workflows, policies, and audit trails while supporting modern developer tools and AI-native engineering teams.The product is approaching launch, and the opportunity is to build the community, content strategy, and developer presence alongside it.

Why This Role?

The company follows a product-led growth approach where individual developers can start for free, teams can adopt the product organically, and enterprise adoption grows from community momentum. Community, content, and developer trust are core growth channels.

You’ll identify where developers spend time, understand how those communities work, and build a presence that feels authentic and valuable rather than promotional.

What You’ll Own

- Define and own the overall developer marketing and community strategy.
