About The Position

Join a high-growth company building a next-generation generative infrastructure platform for developers. Their solution enables teams to move faster through self-service infrastructure while maintaining strong governance and compliance, leveraging modern tools like Terraform, OpenTofu, and Helm to streamline and scale development workflows. We are seeking an experienced Senior Product Marketing Manager who brings deep, hands-on roots in the DevOps and cloud native ecosystem. This is not a role for someone learning the space—it is for someone who has lived it. You will translate complex technical capabilities into compelling narratives that resonate with practitioners on the ground as well as with engineering leaders and executives who set strategic direction. Critically, this role is designed for an AI-first operator. We are building a marketing function that leverages AI tools to produce content at a volume, quality, and velocity that traditional approaches cannot match. The ideal candidate embraces this model and is excited to work in it—not simply to learn it.

Requirements

Significant hands-on experience working in the DevOps, platform engineering, or cloud native ecosystem.
Deep familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (Terraform, OpenTofu, Helm), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipeline architectures.
Working knowledge of CI/CD, SRE practices and tooling (error budgets, runbooks, incident management), and Observability (metrics, logs, traces, alerting).
Ability to quickly evaluate technical content for accuracy, relevance, and audience fit without needing to ramp up on fundamentals.
Comfort holding substantive conversations with engineers, architects, platform teams, and senior technical leaders alike.
Demonstrated willingness and ability to work in an AI-augmented workflow—using tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or similar to produce content, conduct research, and synthesize information at scale.
Comfort experimenting with new AI tools and incorporating them into a repeatable content production process.
An orientation toward output quality and velocity, not hours spent—you will be expected to do more with AI than a traditional team could do without it.
Ability to translate technical capabilities into outcome-focused narratives that resonate with executive buyers, including CTOs and VPs of Engineering.
Proven ability to quantify ROI and build business cases that connect platform investment to engineering and business outcomes.
Experience with market research and competitive analysis to inform messaging and GTM strategies.
Proven success working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and sales teams in a fast-moving startup environment.
Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
Comfort operating with autonomy and adapting quickly as priorities shift.
