Developer Marketer

Summary

Join ReadMe as a Developer Marketer and build upon a beloved developer brand. You will strengthen ReadMe's voice across marketing initiatives, ensuring authenticity and a developer-first approach. Responsibilities include connecting with developers, growing the community, launching products, creating diverse content, planning engaging events, and maintaining ReadMe's unique brand identity. The ideal candidate is passionate about developer tools, understands developer thinking, and possesses strong communication and community-building skills. ReadMe offers a remote or hybrid work environment (SF or NYC) and a comprehensive benefits package.

Requirements

• You love playing around with dev tools and are excited by the challenge of executing marketing initiatives in a fast-moving startup environment
• You understand how developers think and enjoy the unique challenge of marketing to a technical audience—maybe you even have some programming experience!
• You’re a scrappy operator who enjoys digging into complex issues and turning them into actionable plans
• You're excited to understand our story and adapt messaging to reach different audiences, and your verbal and written communication skills are on point
• You’re a community builder who loves talking to customers and is great at bringing people together

Responsibilities

• Build on our brand: We already have a dedicated user base of engaged and passionate developers, but we're eager to continue to cement ReadMe as a beloved brand
• Connect with developers: We’re looking for someone who loves working with developers and naturally finds themselves spending time in those circles
• Grow our community: From our Slack community to weekly office hours and in-person events, our community is vibrant! But there are a billion new ways we can get people involved
• Launch products: Our roadmap is brimming with exciting projects, and we want our customers to share in our excitement! Marketing isn’t just an afterthought; it’s part of the journey from the beginning. We want marketing and product development to feel like a cohesive unit
• Content, content, content! We want to put out all kinds of content… live streams, video tutorials, blog posts, Bluesky updates and more. Big or small, we want to share what we’re working on and care about!
• Events: Okay, everyone’s doing events, so we need to keep upping the game! These days it takes more than an open bar and free pizza to get people excited. From intimate meetups to large conferences like our own API Mixtape (last year featured live music and magic!), we aim to create memorable experiences. We also go to lots of other events and host social events
• Keep ReadMe Weird: The internet is full of content vying for attention. We want to keep doing things differently. The more unique the ideas, the more excited we’ll be! Our last launch included a live owl… think we can outdo that next time?
• Really care: We’re looking for someone who genuinely love developer tools and the people who use them!
