Product Marketer

- Make sure every meaningful thing we ship is heard by the developers who'd care.

- Drive launches end to end: everything from the narrative through the actual assets.

- Translate engineering work into something developers care about, honestly, without reaching for hype.

- Ensure we're talking about our work consistently, not in occasional bursts.

- Be the connective tissue between engineering, developer experience, design, and creators.

- Experience marketing a technical or developer product without making developers cringe.

- Proven ability to own a launch completely, from the first brief to the final asset.

- Enough organization to run a real launch calendar and keep things moving.

- Strong writing with technical developer-facing work to show for it.

This is an attempt to outline some characteristics of candidates who tend to thrive at Convex. We have a high demand for both commercial judgment and the ability to actually build, while also having the typical demands of a small startup.

Developer tools are different. Your audience is technical, skeptical, and quick to spot inauthenticity. Marketing that works for a business app falls flat here.

We want someone who has internalized what it feels like to be a developer evaluating a product, and who markets accordingly.

Our whole approach is that honesty outperforms hype with this audience. We want someone who finds buzzwords a little embarrassing and is genuinely better at the harder thing: making the real substance land.

Writing is the heart of this job. We're not looking for someone who can produce serviceable copy, but someone who can take something complicated and make it clear, with a structure that scans and a point of view that sticks. It's the rarest thing we're looking for and the hardest to fake.

The best product marketing we've seen doesn't just describe what shipped, it makes a case for why it matters. We want someone who can look at a feature, a product decision, or a new capability and form a strong opinion about the story worth telling, then tell it in a way that earns a developer's attention rather than demanding it.
