Role Overview

You’ll be the engine behind Vibecoderz’ 20K+ paid users and $100K+ MRR milestones. Where the CMO drives brand, community, and culture, you will focus on funnels, experiments, and monetization levers. You know how to run growth like an engineer: structured, data-driven, and always measurable.

Your obsession is activation, conversion, retention, and LTV. You’ll orchestrate paid acquisition, A/B tests, SEO/ASO, referral loops, and pricing experiments — all while keeping developers (our users) at the center.

This role demands someone who can blend creativity and rigor, who can craft narratives that convert and pipelines that scale.
