Technical Product Marketing Manager

Arcade•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Everyone's talking about AI. But here's the truth: ChatGPT can't send your emails. It can't book your flights. It can't even order you lunch. Why? Because AI is trapped in a chat box. It can't take real actions in the real world. We are changing that forever. We're not just building another AI company - we're creating the infrastructure that will power every AI application you'll use in the future. The Revolution Needs You Every AI app needs agentic "tools" - special functions that let AI models take real actions. Without tools, AI can only chat. With tools, AI can actually do things. We're building the definitive tools catalog and tool-calling platform that will unlock AI's true potential. Think Zapier for AI Actions. Think Auth0 for AI. Think really big. Why This Is The Opportunity of a Lifetime Founder-Market Fit: Our CEO previously founded Stormpath (acquired by Okta), where he created the first Authentication API for developers. He's done this before - and this time the market is 10x bigger. Our CTO led the vector database team at Redis, shipped 100+ LLM applications, and is a contributor to LangChain and LlamaIndex. He knows this space better than anyone. Dream Team: We've assembled authentication, integrations, distributed systems, and AI experts from Okta, Redis, Microsoft, Splunk, Ngrok, Google, Airbyte, Disney, and HPE who've built and founded multiple successful developer platforms. Perfect Timing: We're at the inflection point of AI adoption. The biggest problem isn't better models - it's connecting AI to real-world actions. That's us. Massive Market: We're building critical infrastructure for the biggest technological shift of our generation. Every AI app will need what we're building. Backed By The Best: Our investors have backed Databricks, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Perplexity, Cohere, ScaleAI, Confluent, Elastic, and Firebase. They see what we see - this is going to be huge. The Challenge We have a category-defining product at the exact right moment. Now we need someone who can make our message land with maximum impact in the market. As our Technical Product Marketing Manager, you'll figure out how to create the biggest splash possible. You'll design launch strategies that get attention. You'll produce the content and assets that make our positioning stand out. You'll guide what campaigns we run and how we show up. You'll work directly with engineering and product to translate technical depth into narratives that resonate - then you'll execute on making those narratives impossible to ignore.

Requirements

5+ years in product marketing at technical infrastructure, developer tools, or AI/ML companies
Strong technical curiosity and willingness to get hands-on - you're not afraid to spin up an agent, test integrations, read documentation, or automate repetitive tasks to truly understand what you're marketing
Deep understanding of AI agents, LLMs, tool-calling, and production deployment challenges within enterprises
Experience with both enterprise sales cycles and self-service/PLG motions - you understand how to message differently for bottoms-up adoption vs. top-down enterprise deals
Outstanding writer and storyteller who can make technical concepts accessible without dumbing them down
Startup mentality - you produce fast, iterate based on feedback, and don't wait for perfect information
Ability to work autonomously while collaborating cross-functionally with strong opinions, loosely held

Nice To Haves

Experience with enterprise security, authentication, and authorization concepts (OAuth, SSO, RBAC, etc.)

Responsibilities

Lead strategic product launches that create market momentum, working cross-functionally with product, engineering, sales, and marketing

Work directly with engineering and product teams as a strategic partner - deeply understanding technical architecture while shaping how we talk about our roadmap and differentiation in ways that resonate with the market
Translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives for multiple audiences: developers, AI/ML leaders, security teams, and executives
Create sales materials that actually get used and support customer conversations and RFPs
