1st Marketing Hire

CodeCrafters (YC S22) makes programming challenges for experienced software engineers.

• Besides YC, we're backed by the founders of Instagram and Dropbox.
• Our customers are experienced engineers at companies like Google, GitHub, Stripe
• … as well as companies like Amazon, Uber, Shopify, etc.
• We maintain GitHub’s 2nd most popular repository with 400,000+ stars.

In this role, you’ll own end-to-end marketing at CodeCrafters.

Core Responsibilities:

• Own the calendar. Ensure we’re shipping often, and in style
• Own our socials. Actively post on socials with content that ties to launches
• Amplify launches. Leverage our various networks, customers, YC, etc. to boost announcements
• Produce quality writing. e.g Product announcement blog posts, tweets, etc - we want to produce work that is a joy to read and consume (and not just content marketing fluff)

What you’re good at:

• Writing & design taste. You can craft sharp copy and know when something feels visually off
• Developer intuition. You understand how to make a launch feel exciting to an engineering audience
• Technical literacy. You’re either an ex-engineer or can think like one
• Being organised + cal hygiene. Nothing slips through the cracks

Why this role is great:

• You’ll work directly with the CEO (1st growth/marketing hire at Vercel)
• You’ll be pushed hard to refine your craft in writing all sorts of copy
• Developers love CodeCrafters (look it up). Makes your job easier
• If you do a good job, you’ll significantly grow your network
