Founding Marketer at Cleric

Engineers often find themselves trapped in a cycle of managing dashboards, chasing alerts, and performing the repetitive tasks that keep systems afloat. While this work is necessary, it frequently distracts from the creative engineering that truly moves the needle. At Cleric, we are changing that dynamic. We have built an AI SRE teammate that autonomously diagnoses production issues across complex distributed systems, allowing engineers to get back to building. We have already earned recognition as a Gartner Cool Vendor in SRE and Observability, and with $9.8M in funding from Zetta and Vertex, we are helping major companies like BlaBlaCar maintain more resilient systems. Now, we are looking for a leader to help us turn this momentum into a consistent, scalable pipeline.

The opportunity

As our Founding Marketer, you will be the architect of our entire marketing function. This is a high-autonomy role where you will own the strategy, the infrastructure, and the team as we grow. You will collaborate closely with our product marketing team to translate our technical narrative into high-impact programs. We need someone who is ready to roll up their sleeves, take our message to market, and iterate rapidly based on real-world results. You will have full agency to experiment, test, and build the engine that drives our company forward.

A day in the life

• Design and execute comprehensive lead generation programs across content, events, partnerships, and outbound channels that resonate with platform and infrastructure engineers.
• Take ownership of the marketing stack, including our CRM and analytics tools, to build dashboards that provide clear visibility into pipeline and revenue performance.
• Work directly with our founders and sales team to refine our ideal customer profile, qualify leads, and ensure a seamless handoff process.

Who you are

You are a senior-level professional with a strong technical foundation, likely holding a CS degree or equivalent experience, which allows you to speak the language of platform engineering leads with ease. You thrive in the early stages of a company where playbooks are not yet written and you are comfortable working on-site in San Francisco. You have a proven track record of scaling demand generation at B2B companies targeting DevOps, SRE, or engineering teams. Most importantly, you are scrappy, data-driven, and comfortable owning a pipeline number while shipping work quickly to learn and iterate.

Why you'll love it here

You will be joining a team where the hardest part of the journey-building a product that engineers genuinely want-is already behind us. We prioritize speed and iteration over perfection, meaning your work will have an immediate and visible impact on our growth. We offer a culture that values quick learning and direct collaboration, providing you with the resources and autonomy to build a marketing organization from the ground up. You will be part of a mission-driven team that is fundamentally changing how production operations are managed, working alongside talented peers who are as passionate about resilient systems as you are about building a world-class marketing engine.
