Founding Marketer

Ranger – Verify work as fast as your agents can write it

Agent writes it, Ranger verifies it. We're building easy-to-use QA tools for you and your agents to turn big ideas into real products, quickly. Teams ship at agent-speed without sacrificing quality.

Companies like Fanatics, Amplitude, and Clay use Ranger to close the gap between what agents build and what actually works in production. Our opportunity is exploding day over day, and we need someone to make sure every engineer knows about it.

We've raised $8.9M from XYZ and General Catalyst, alongside operators from Linear, Webflow, and OpenAI as angel investors. Our office is in the Presidio in San Francisco.

We're hiring our first‑ever marketer. This is a founding role — you'll be the person who builds Ranger's growth engine from scratch, working directly with our founder Josh.

Our sales motion today is top‑down, but engineers are the real champions inside their organizations and we recently released a fully self‑serve product. Your job is to make Ranger impossible for developers to ignore: through content they actually want to read, channels that compound over time, and experiences that turn curiosity into conviction. You won't be handed a playbook. You're writing it.

There is no marketing team to inherit. No brand guidelines to follow. No "we've always done it this way." You'll own a number and figure out how to hit it. If that sounds more exciting than terrifying, keep reading.

• Content that developers actually want to read. Technical blog posts, tutorials, demo videos, case studies — not marketing fluff. We were cited in OpenAI's o3‑mini research paper. You'd turn proof points like that into content that spreads organically through the developer community. You'll build a content engine that earns trust with engineers and positions Ranger as the obvious answer to the QA problem.

• Growth channels from zero. SEO targeting real developer pain points. Newsletter and podcast sponsor ships. Git Hub as a distribution channel. Paid campaigns when they make sense. You'll run experiments relentlessly, figure out what works, double down on it, and kill what doesn't. You'll own the full funnel from awareness through activation and know your numbers cold.
• Events and creative experiments. No idea is too ambitious. Want to host a hackathon for AI agent developers? Ship a niche open‑source tool? Run an ultra marathon for CTOs? Sponsor the weirdest possible conference booth? This is that kind of role. You'll represent Ranger at conferences, meetups, and developer events — and invent new ones.
• Self‑serve developer resources. Engineers discover and evaluate tools on their own before they ever talk to sales. You'll build the documentation, guides, interactive demos, and onboarding experiences that let developers find Ranger, try it, and become internal champions — all without a sales call.
• Community and developer relationships. You'll become a known, trusted voice in the developer tooling ecosystem. You'll build relationships with engineering leaders, developer advocates at other companies, and technical influencers. When people think about QA for AI‑era development, they should think of Ranger — and of you.

• You're bright, enthusiastic, and relentlessly hardworking. This is a founding role at a company growing faster than we can keep up with. You need to be the kind of person who runs toward the chaos, not away from it.
• You're technical. You don't need to be writing production code, but you should be able to read a Playwright test, understand a CI/CD pipeline, and talk to engineers without losing credibility. You've lived in the developer tools or infrastructure world and understand what makes technical buyers tick.
• You're based in San Francisco (or willing to relocate). We work out of the Presidio 5 days a week. This role requires daily in‑person collaboration.
• You're excited about owning a metric. Not "contributing to brand awareness" — actually owning a number, building the system to hit it, and being accountable for results. You think in funnels, cohorts, and experiments, not campaigns and impressions.
