Growth & Community Marketer

India · Remote (Bangalore / Delhi / Mumbai hubs) · Full-time · 1–3 years experience

VideoDB is the modern backend for AI agents that see, understand, and act on video. Think Supabase, but for the agentic web's video layer: universal ingestion, scene-level indexing, retrieval that returns playable outputs, and streaming — all behind a clean API.

We're a small, engineering-heavy team building for developers worldwide, with real customers and real usage. Our next few months are packed: product launches, new repos, blog posts, and a growing community across SF, Bangalore, Delhi, and Mumbai. We need one smart, hungry person to run the growth engine behind all of it — end to end, in-house.

You won't be handed a playbook. You'll write it, ship it, measure it, and improve it — working directly with the founder.

The role in one line

You grow VideoDB's presence among developers — social channels, launch campaigns, and community — and you manage all of it yourself, start to finish.

What your day-to-day looks like

Run our social channels (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Discord). Write posts, threads, and launch announcements. Turn what our engineers ship into content developers actually want to read. Post consistently, watch what works, double down.

Run campaigns for every launch — a new feature, a blog post, an open-source repo, a demo. You plan the rollout (X, Hacker News, Product Hunt, newsletters, communities), write the copy, coordinate assets, ship it, and report what happened.

Manage our organic community. Welcome new members, answer questions or route them to engineers, surface interesting projects people build, keep Discord/forums alive. Support our meetups in Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, and SF.

Turn engineering output into marketing. Sit with the team, understand what we shipped, and translate it — a changelog into a thread, a repo into a launch, a customer use case into a story.

Track the numbers. Followers → signups → first API call → active usage. Keep a simple weekly dashboard. Every campaign gets a before/after.

A typical week: 2–3 days on content and social, 1 day on an active launch or campaign, the rest on community, metrics, and planning with the founder.

What we're looking for

1–3 years doing marketing, growth, social, or community for a dev tool, infra, or API company — ideally one serving US/SF-based startups or developers. You know what dev audiences respond to and what makes them roll their eyes.

You've grown a social channel or community yourself — a company account, a project, even your own. Show us the graph.

You write well and fast, especially short-form. Threads, launch posts, docs-adjacent copy. You'll be writing every day.

You can run things end to end without a team — no designer, no agency, no manager breaking work down for you. You figure it out, ship it, and own the result.

You're comfortable in the AI/dev ecosystem — you know what MCP, Claude Code, or an SDK is, or you can learn fast enough that it doesn't matter. You can read a docs page and tell if it's good.

You work India hours with US overlap when launches or community moments need it.

Nice to have

You've done a Hacker News or Product Hunt launch before.

You've made short demo videos or walkthroughs that don't feel cringe.

You've contributed to open source, or hang out where builders do.

You have a personal audience, newsletter, or side project you've grown.

Why this role is a big deal

You own a whole function. Most junior marketers execute someone else's plan. Here, the plan is yours — with the founder as your sounding board, not your bottleneck.

The category is being defined right now. Video as data infrastructure for AI agents. The people who tell this story early get to shape it.

Fast feedback. Small team, real users, launches every few weeks. You'll see the results of your work in days, not quarters.

Growth path. Do this well for 12–18 months and you're the person who built dev marketing at an AI infra company — a rare, valuable profile.

Comp. Competitive cash + early-stage equity.

How to apply

One channel, campaign, or community you grew — and the numbers.

One thing we're doing badly on social or community right now.

Short and direct beats long and polished. We move fast.
