They diagnose issues, chase alerts, and do the repetitive work that keeps systems running. Most of it isn't hard. But it's constant. It crowds out the work that actually makes systems better.\nCleric is an AI SRE teammate. We autonomously diagnose production issues across complex distributed systems. Not just the big outages. The small stuff too. No fix is too small. Engineers can focus on building. Systems get more resilient because problems actually get addressed.\nThink of it this way: coding agents are becoming the future of the IDE. Cleric is the equivalent for production operations. We're the future replacement for the dashboards and terminals where engineers who monitor production live today.\nIt's working. Gartner named us a Cool Vendor in SRE and Observability. 80% of diagnoses are rated as accurate by senior engineers. Teams see value in 24 hours. Two-week pilots convert to one-year contracts. Customers include BlaBlaCar, the largest long distance mobility platform in Europe and we've raised $9.8M from Zetta and Vertex.\nWhat we need now is someone to turn that into a consistent, qualified pipeline.\nThe Role\nYou'll build the marketing function. The infrastructure, the programs, and the team. You'll own how it all comes together and scale it as we grow.\nYou’ll lead the marketing function, collaborating with our senior product marketer to scale our technical narrative into high-impact programs and pipeline. You'll riff with us on messaging, take it to market, and iterate with your team. You own execution. High autonomy, hands-on, and full agency to experiment.\nGrowth\nBuild programs that reach platform and infrastructure engineers. Create content and programs that engineers find genuinely useful. The community follows from that.\n\nDesign and run lead generation across content, events, community, partnerships, and outbound\n\nWork with founders and sales on ICP, qualification, and sales handoff\n\nMessaging & Channels\nTurn our product story into campaigns that run. Website, events, sales enablement.\n\nKeep quality and consistency across everything external\n\nManage PMM, writers, agencies, contractors. Brief them well. Hold the bar.\n\nInfrastructure\nOwn the stack. CRM, lifecycle, analytics, attribution.\n\nBuild dashboards tied to pipeline and revenue. Know what's actually working.\n\nTest and iterate. We care about what generates quality pipeline, not activity metrics.\n\nTeam\nExecute hands-on first. Prove what works before building a team around it.\n\nHire early marketing team members as we scale\n\nDecide what to build, what to outsource, when to change the model\n\nWho You Are\nBased in SF and excited to work in-office.\n\nCS degree or equivalent technical foundation. You can hold a 30-minute conversation with a platform engineering lead without getting lost.\n\nYou're scrappy. You ship imperfect things, learn fast, iterate.\n\nYou've done this before there was a big team, clean data, or an established playbook\n\nYou've built or scaled demand gen at an early-stage B2B company selling to engineers, SREs, platform teams, or DevOps\n\nYou're comfortable owning a pipeline number\n\nHow We Work\nWe bias toward launching and learning. A campaign that ships next week and teaches us something beats a comprehensive plan that ships next month.\nSome marketing orgs optimize for polish and coordination. We optimize for speed and iteration. Both approaches can work. Ours requires comfort with imperfect information and a willingness to be wrong.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nSix months in:\nQualified leads that match our ICP. Not just volume.\n\nClear picture of which channels and programs drive pipeline\n\nSales treats marketing as a source of opportunities, not a cost center\n\nPipeline that doesn't depend on founder heroics\n\nA community of engineers who genuinely care about Cleric - they share, refer, and engage because they're excited, not prompted\n\nWhy Now\nThe product works and we have real traction. What's missing is the engine to turn that into consistent growth. You'd be building it at a company where the hard part-making something engineers actually want-is already done.\nInterview Process\nIntro call - How you think, technical screening, questions on the role\n\nMarketing deep dive (45 min) - Dig into real projects you've run with our product marketer\n\nLive problem-solving (45 min) - Work through a real Cleric scenario with our PM\n\nBar raiser (30 min) - Values, working style, hard questions both directions","description_format":"text","description_chars":4546,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["DevOps & Platform Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T08:11:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.149,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":300,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":160000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cleric-founding-marketer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cleric-founding-marketer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T00:12:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":349,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":173491},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=173491"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcleric-founding-marketer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcleric-founding-marketer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcleric-founding-marketer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cleric-founding-marketer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcleric-founding-marketer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":449053}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cleric.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":449053},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
