Founding Product Marketing Manager
San Francisco, CA - USA
Job Summary
MintMCP helps companies put agents to work safely. We exist to help companies do more of their work with agents and we build the infrastructure that makes a companys own work runnable by them. That has to start from trust. Our first product is an MCP gateway that gives those agents governed access to company data and tools.
Before agents can touch Slack GitHub Jira Snowflake internal databases or production systems you need to know what they can reach what they did and why they were allowed to do it. Most people carry far more permissions than any single task needs. If an agent uses your token directly it inherits all of them. MintMCP scopes that access down to exactly what an agent needs to do its job and captures the data flows and audit logs security teams need. From there we are building the rest of the agent stack: connectors monitoring sandboxing long-running agents and memory with the goal of becoming the system a companys work runs on.
We work in person in the San Francisco Bay Area. The structure is flat and the market moves fast so you have a lot of latitude over what you work on and how.
We are AI-native. Everyone uses Claude and Codex every day and we have more agents than employees. They run in Slack alongside the team and handle sales marketing deal ops and engineering on the same gateway we sell to customers and we are building an entire company operating system around them.
Since launching in February 2026 we have grown to 50 paying customers with strong inbound demand. Customers include Coursera Arlo and Braze. We are backed by Cowboy Ventures and Coatue with angels including Frederic Kerrest (Okta) Michael Grinich (WorkOS) Andrej Karpathy Jeff Dean and Scott Belsky. Our founders are machine learning experts from Stanford Berkeley and CMU with applied research at Google Brain and Waymo and one co-founded Coursera.
The Job
You own how MintMCP shows up in the world. Were defining a category as it forms how enterprises put AI agents to work without handing over the keys and youre the one who turns a deep fast-moving technical product into a story that engineers security leaders and buyers actually get.
This is a founding role so you own the whole arc. Youll set our messaging and narrative the source of truth for what we say to whom and why it matters and youll hold it steady as the product and the market move underneath you. Youll drive launches end to end from narrative to release to follow-through staying close enough to customers to carry each release from beta to broad availability and own how activated people are on what ships. Youll turn customers like Coursera Stability AI and Modern Treasury into case studies and proof. Youll establish MintMCPs point of view on agent governance and get it heard through thought leadership the SEO/AEO engine and the agencies that scale it. And youll build the sales content system that equips our AEs with the collateral they own for prospects and customers.
Youll scale yourself with MintMCPs team of coworker agents (our own product). Youll sit with engineers to learn how the product really works and with customers to hear how it lands and turn both into differentiated jargon-free messaging. Do it well and MintMCPs story becomes the one the whole category gets described in.
