About Trail of Bits

Founded in 2012 by 3 expert hackers with no investment capital, Trail of Bits is the premier place for security experts to boldly advance security and address technology’s newest and most challenging risks. It has helped secure some of the world's most targeted organizations and devices. Our combination of novel research with practical solutions reduces the security risks that our clients face from emerging technologies.

Our work helps drive the security industry and the public understanding of the technology underlying our world.

Cybersecurity preparedness is a moving target. Companies like ours are the tip of the spear in the fight against attackers. Our research-based and custom-engineering approach ensures that our client’s capabilities are at the forefront of what’s available. For companies and technologies that live and die by their security, a proactive, tailored approach is required to keep one step ahead of attackers.

Democratizing security information is essential. As part of our business, we provide ongoing informational support through blogs, whitepapers, newsletters, meetups, and open-source tools. The more the community understands security, the more they’ll understand why a company like ours is so unique and valuable.

Trail of Bits is looking for a Technical Marketing Manager to run marketing day-to-day for our App Sec, AI/ML Security, and Research & Engineering practices. This role sits alongside an existing TMM peer who currently covers our Blockchain & Cryptography practice. Together you’ll form the core of Trail of Bits’ marketing execution. You’ll work directly with engineering directors and the broader go-to-market team (including Marketing, Technical Editing, Project Management, and Sales Engineering) to turn security research into effective marketing: blog posts, social campaigns, event presence, case studies, and co‑marketing with clients.

You’ll coordinate closely with your TMM peer on shared channels, joint campaigns, and cross‑practice coverage so the two of you operate as a cohesive marketing team, not two separate functions.

What makes this role distinct is the audience. The security research community reads our blogs, uses our open‑source tools, and attends our talks. They notice when content misses the mark technically. You need to understand the App Sec and/or AI/ML Security ecosystems, know where these communities spend their time, and bring enough technical fluency that your work holds up to scrutiny.

This is a hands‑on role. You’ll own social media, events, demand generation, and content production. You’ll coordinate with our Technical Editing team on content workflows and be ready to pitch in on writing and production when the team needs it. You’ll brief speakers before conferences, manage co‑marketing efforts with clients, and make sure nothing ships without a plan to get it in front of the right people.

The right person has good instincts about what matters and what’s urgent, but their default mode is doing the work, not planning it from a distance.

You’ll have a regular reporting cadence with the Head of GTM and be expected to bring data, priorities, and blockers, not just status updates. Our tech/tool stack will help enable your success, providing a range of resources from a recent Macbook to Claude Code access, and deep repositories of skills to automate work.

Content & Coverage

• Track engineering output, tool releases, research papers, conference talks, milestones — and make sure each gets coverage. Blog post, social thread, newsletter mention, whatever fits.
• Work through the existing backlog of shipped tools and research that never got written up publicly.
• Create case studies, briefs, blog drafts, and marketing assets that work for both technical and business audiences. You’ll be writing, not just managing the pipeline.
• Partner with Technical Editing on content pipelines, especially around report publications and blog production, and provide additional writing capacity when the team needs it.
• Own the content calendar across practices. Coordinate publishing schedules so coverage is steady and nothing falls through the…
