You've sent a cold message that turned into a real relationship – not a meeting booked, a relationship. Maybe it was a podcast host, an editor, a founder, a developer with 50k followers. You didn't use a template. You read their work, saw something they'd care about, and wrote something worth replying to.
If that describes your last three months more than your last employer's playbook, keep reading.
We started at a hackathon, won best dev tool, and kept going. Today: hundreds of users, 7,000 weekly CLI runs, 5,000 GitHub stars, 200M+ translated words, backed by YC, Initialized, and paying customers. We're building localization infrastructure for engineering teams.
Small team, fully remote, senior engineers. We write the code, answer the support tickets, and talk to our users on Discord every day.
We publish technical content that developers find genuinely useful. Your job is making sure the right people see it.
That means:
Finding editors, bloggers, podcast hosts, and community curators who cover our space – and starting conversations with them
Getting our content referenced, linked, cited, and shared where developers already look
Booking the founder on podcasts and panels where the audience overlaps with our users
Qualifying and booking inbound demo requests
You'll have a queue of opportunities every morning. Your job is to clear it – every item handled, nothing stale. Volume isn't your problem. Judgment is.
You've done outreach before – link building, PR coordination, podcast booking, partnerships, SDR work. Something where you wrote cold emails for a living and got good at it.
You know the difference between a message that earns a reply and one that earns a block.
You can context-switch between pitching a technical editor and scheduling a calendar invite without losing quality on either.
You write English the way you'd speak it – short, clear, no filler.
You work fast. An inbox with 40 items in it doesn't paralyze you, it focuses you.
You're tech-savvy. You live in AI tools – Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, whatever gives you leverage. You use them to research faster, draft faster, and think better. If you're still doing everything manually in 2026, this isn't the role.
You can pick up new software in hours, not weeks. We'll hand you tools you've never seen and expect you to be productive by end of day.
Available 7–10am San Francisco time daily.
Whether you've worked in developer tools before. We care that you can learn a new space fast.
A marketing degree.
Whether you can "strategize." We set the direction. You execute with taste.
Fancy tools on your resume. We'll hand you the stack.
Tell us:
The best cold message you've ever sent and what happened because of it.
A time you had to clear a high volume of work without dropping quality – what was the context and how did you stay on top of it.
How you use AI in your daily work – be specific, not generic.
What timezone you're in.
Please don't use AI to auto-apply – we'll know. But we absolutely expect you to use AI in the role itself.
This is the first dedicated outreach hire. You won't inherit someone else's playbook or clean up someone else's CRM. What this becomes – Head of Partnerships, Head of Digital PR, Head of Growth – depends on where you take it. The people who've held this seat at other companies ended up running the function. We expect the same here.
You need a detailed SOP before you can send an email.
You measure yourself by volume (emails sent) rather than outcomes (replies earned).
You think "outreach" means importing a list and pressing send.
You're not comfortable with AI tools or think they're a fad.
You want a role where nobody checks your work.
