The role

At QuestDB, we're building the fastest open-source time-series database on the planet—and we want someone who's done the zero-to-one thing before to help us tell that story to the world.

We're hiring a founding member of the go-to-market team to drive and scale adoption of our open-source product. As a founding team member, you'll work directly with the CEO, engineering, and product to define our adoption strategy, ecosystem partnerships, product discoverability, and market positioning. You'll lead the charge in telling our story to the world and shaping how developers and companies engage with QuestDB.

This is not just a content role. It's a strategic function that blends growth, positioning, product thinking, and technical curiosity. You'll build systems, not just assets. You'll ship messaging, not just marketing. And you'll help shape the GTM engine of a deeply technical product.

Responsibilities

• Develop clear, engaging product narratives for complex features
• Build landing pages and positioning assets that convert technical readers into users
• Work cross-functionally to ensure every product launch is reflected in our outward voice
• Be the connective tissue between product, marketing, and engineering
• Help shape the product roadmap by surfacing user understanding gaps
• Write and edit blog posts and product explainers that resonate with developers
• Drive product visibility across open-source channels including GitHub, Hacker News, Reddit, and community aggregators
• Optimize repository structure, README clarity, and cross-linking for searchability and developer onboarding
• Identify and pursue opportunities for ecosystem alignment
• Own the strategy, execution, and performance of all growth channels
• Design and run experiments to increase product visibility and drive user acquisition
• Analyze growth trends and funnel data to inform messaging, content, and campaign priorities

Requirements

• Experience building early-stage GTM from the ground up (bonus if as a founder or early hire)
• Analytical mindset with ability to measure, track, and report on growth and content performance
• Strong technical understanding and ability to communicate with developers
• Excellent writing skills with clarity and curiosity
• Proven track record of shipping high-quality content
• Understanding of organic traffic as a compounding engine of growth

Nice to have

• Experience with databases, infrastructure, or distributed systems
• Familiarity with SQL and time-series data
• Past work at a high-performance open-source or API-driven startup
• Technical writing, documentation, or DevEd background
• Experience building systems
