An early-stage AI infrastructure company building technology that helps AI agents and voice AI applications access information and generate responses with low latency. Its products include retrieval infrastructure and inference technology designed for developers building real-time AI applications. The company has already attracted thousands of signups for a new product without targeted marketing campaigns and is now focused on scaling growth and generating qualified sales opportunities.

The company is hiring its first dedicated Head of Marketing to own the marketing strategy, positioning, channels, and budget. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be responsible for turning early product traction into a predictable pipeline of qualified prospects. The role combines strategic leadership with hands-on execution across product marketing, demand generation, launches, lifecycle marketing, and sales enablement. Initially, you will operate as a standalone marketing function, with the opportunity to hire and build a team as the business grows. Success will be measured primarily by qualified leads and pipeline contribution rather than vanity metrics such as impressions or email open rates.
