About MotherDuck
Dont let the quirky name fool you: At MotherDuck were on a mission to make data warehousing fun frictionless and ducking awesome for developers and data practitioners building blazing fast internal and customer-facing analytics experiences. Were building a cloud-hosted version of DuckDB working hand-in-hand with the creators of the fastest-growing and fastest-improving query engine on the planet. Unlike other databases MotherDuck was architected to unify local development with cloud operations to bridge the gap between software and data engineering workflows. Our team is a mix of thoughtful passionate and empathetic data industry veterans.
Were looking for a Growth Marketer whos a few years in and already has the instincts of someone whos done this before. Maybe youve founded a startup and owned the entire GTM motion (even if it didnt work out ... especially if it didnt work out because you learned a ton). Maybe youve been the first marketing hire at a dev tools company and figured things out from scratch. Either way you thrive in ambiguity you move fast and youve got a track record of getting technical buyers to pay attention.
This role can be based in our San Francisco Seattle or New York offices.
What you will do
Youll own and execute growth experiments across the full funnel ... from awareness to activation to expansion. This isnt a run the playbook role. There is no playbook. Youll be building it.
Day to day that looks like:
Designing and running experiments across paid organic community email and product-led channels ... measuring what works killing what doesnt and iterating fast
Writing compelling copy for landing pages ads emails and campaigns that resonate with data engineers analysts and developers
Digging into data to understand whats driving pipeline and conversion ... and using those insights to inform what you do next
Collaborating closely with product sales developer relations and content to amplify whats working
Keeping a pulse on the data and AI ecosystem so our marketing stays relevant timely and ahead of the curve
Building scrappy creative campaigns that punch above their budget ... were a startup not a Fortune 500
What you bring
2-5 years of experience in growth marketing demand gen or a GTM-focused role at a startup or early-stage company
Experience marketing to technical buyers ... you know how to earn credibility with engineers data practitioners or developers without sounding like a brochure
Familiarity with data analytics databases or AI ... whether youve worked in the space built in it or are just genuinely obsessed with it
Analytical chops ... youre comfortable pulling your own data running experiments with real rigor and making decisions based on evidence rather than vibes
Excellent writing ... clear concise and human. You can explain complex technical concepts without losing people or dumbing things down
Founder energy ... maybe youve actually founded something or maybe you just operate like someone who has. You see gaps you fill them you dont wait to be told what to do
Speed and resourcefulness over perfection ... youd rather ship something good today than something perfect next month
Bonus Points
Youve built or run growth at an open-source or developer tools company
You have hands-on experience with DuckDB SQL or data tools
Youve worked with PLG (product-led growth) motions
Youve done content marketing or community-building for technical audiences
You have a side project blog or newsletter that shows how you think
What people should be saying if youre doing ducking awesome
They dont wait for anyone to tell them what to do ... they just see the gap and fill it.
Their campaigns are creative unexpected and actually make people stop scrolling ... nobody else in the space is marketing like this.
They move fast but theyre never reckless ... every experiment has a clear hypothesis and they always bring the team along for the ride.
When the algorithm changed overnight and tanked our top channel they had a new plan by morning ... and it worked better than the original.
