About the role
Convex is the backend platform that keeps up with you and your agents. Our mission is to fundamentally change how software is built on the Internet by empowering developers to create fast, reliable, and dynamic apps without a backend team. We provide a full-stack app platform carefully designed with database, compute and backend abstractions that allow developers and LLMs to move fast but also create products that scale and remain simple over their lifetime.
The Team: Convex has assembled a team that has built and designed some of the largest platforms in the world, and scaled companies to millions in revenue and thousands of employees. We’re a group of friendly, collaborative, and passionate people that love working in-person together in our office in San Francisco. We hire primarily in SF but have a few experienced folks working remotely in certain situations.
The Role: We ship frequently, but aren’t great at talking about it. That's the whole problem this role exists to solve. Once developers find us they tend to stick around. One of the highest-leverage things we could be doing right now is simply making sure the world hears about everything we build, in a way that sounds like us and not like everyone else. Your job will be to own how Convex talks about what it builds, across every channel. The hard part is the how. Developers have an immune response to hype; we'd sooner publish a "how to give Convex less money" post than pretend what we do is magic. The most persuasive thing we can do is show the substance plainly and trust that good engineers will recognize it. You'll need a good sense for the difference between substance and spin, and a strong enough point of view to hold the line even when the easy thing is to reach for the buzzword. You'll drive the launch strategy and you'll also write the post and cut the assets. We're too small for the kind of product marketer who only makes slides. If you like the idea of running the whole thing for a product developers genuinely love, you're going to like it here.
