Head of Growth
$185K - $240K base + 0.1%-1% equityThe company builds autonomous AI penetration testing agents that think like attackers, finding, validating and helping fix real vulnerabilities across live applications, codebases and infrastructure. Its open-source framework is the leading open-source AI security project: 75,000+ GitHub stars, used at almost 35% of the Fortune 500, nearly 400 billion LLM tokens processed every day and a Discord community of about 3,000. The company is about 10 people, roughly $7M ARR.
This is the company's first growth hire. Marketing has been founder-led so far (technical research write-ups that regularly take off on Hacker News and X, product animation videos, a monthly Discord newsletter). You will own growth end to end and report to co-founder Ahmed Allam: community, content, social, SEO/AEO, launches, brand and developer mindshare. You will build the first formal marketing plan from scratch, design the funnel from first touch to booked demo to closed customer, work with the founders on positioning and the GTM playbook, and lay the foundation for a growth team. Most sales come inbound from the open-source community through a self-serve, PLG-style motion into the paid enterprise platform.
This is a generalist marketing role, not a sales role. Open to a people-leader or hands-on individual contributor background; the company wants an autonomous self-starter who does not need to be told what to do. In person in New York five days a week. US citizens and Green Card holders only (no visa sponsorship).
Interview process: intro call with Ahmed, a growth strategy case study or 30/60/90-day plan, then a founder interview with both co-founders.
