Own Windmill's growth - from developer awareness to self-serve activation to expansion. So far, 3M ARR has been built with zero outbound and reasonable marketing efforts - imagine what a dedicated growth person could do. This is a broad, high-autonomy role spanning developer marketing, community, content, and product-led growth.
Content & developer marketing: write technical content (tutorials, comparisons, case studies) that developers actually want to read. SEO, social, community channels.
Community: grow and engage the open-source community - Discord, GitHub, forums. Surface feedback, spotlight contributors.
Product-led growth: improve onboarding, activation funnels, self-serve conversion. Work with product/engineering on growth experiments.
Analytics: measure what works - traffic, signups, activation, expansion. Data-driven iteration.
Who we're looking for
Ideal candidate: you've already done growth / developer marketing for a devtool company and can point to concrete results - content that drove signups, community programs that scaled, funnels you optimized. That hands-on devtool growth experience is the single strongest signal for this role.
Two profiles fit well:
A software engineer who wants to branch out - you've built things, you speak the language, and you want to explore the DevRel / growth side while staying close to the product.
A hacky non-engineer with a strong affinity for tech - you may not write production code, but you understand developer tools deeply, learn fast, and can credibly engage a technical audience.
Either way:
Proven devtool growth experience is strongly preferred. You've grown awareness, adoption, or revenue for a developer-facing product and can show what worked.
You understand how developers evaluate tools, what content resonates with them, and how open-source adoption works.
You can write clearly about technical topics - blog posts, docs, comparisons.
Comfort with analytics, funnels, and experimentation. You don't just create content - you measure its impact.
Scrappy and autonomous - this is an early-stage role with wide scope.
0–4 years of experience in growth, developer marketing, developer relations, or a technical role with a growth bent.
