As a developer platform, Windmill's closest comparison is an open-source, self-hostable Cloudflare. So far, $4M ARR has been built with zero outbound and modest marketing - imagine what a dedicated growth person could do. This is a broad, high-autonomy role with one clear priority: make Windmill visible and credible to platform teams at US enterprises, our primary market. You'll own measurable targets: signups, activation, and enterprise pipeline sourced.\nThe team is lean by design: a few people with excellent taste ship faster than a larger team.\nWhat you'll do, in priority order\nVisibility & brand: make every release an event. Launches, Hacker News, conference talks, YouTube, podcasts, and a regular release cadence that keeps Windmill in front of developers.\n\nContent for developers and for buyers: technical content developers actually want to read (tutorials, comparisons), plus what the enterprise buyer needs to say yes: customer case studies, migration guides from Airflow or Retool, security and compliance pages, cost comparisons. All of it built to rank in search.\n\nWarm enterprise accounts: we already know which companies run the open-source version at scale. Turn that into targeted campaigns and content for those accounts, and hand the engaged ones to the founders. No cold outreach.\n\nIn support of those: community (Discord, GitHub, forums), product-led growth (onboarding, activation, self-serve conversion), and analytics to measure what works.\nWho we're looking for\nYou can be an engineer who wants to branch out, or a non-engineer with a deep feel for developer tools.\nDeep knowledge of the US market is very important. The US, and US enterprise in particular, is our primary market. You need to know those companies deeply as the ultimate buyer: how they discover, evaluate, and buy developer tools. The role itself is based in France.\n\nYou write very well in English, for a technical audience. Blog posts, docs, comparisons, launch posts. This is the core skill of the job.\n\nDevtool growth experience is a plus, not a requirement. If you've grown awareness, adoption, or revenue for a developer-facing product, show us what worked.\n\nYou understand how developers evaluate tools, what content resonates with them, and how open-source adoption works.\nNo minimum years of experience, as long as you have plenty of devtool experience. It doesn't have to come from a growth job: having been a founder or a developer counts just as much.\n\nExample projects in your first 3 months\nWrite and ship a head-to-head comparison series (Windmill vs Airflow, Temporal, Retool, n8n) optimized for search\nRun a targeted campaign for companies already running the open-source version at scale, and hand the engaged accounts to the founders\nRedesign the onboarding flow to get new signups to a running workflow in under 3 minutes - measure activation lift\nOffer details\nLocation: Paris hybrid (~3 days/week) or remote within France\nContract: CDI (permanent)\nSalary: €50K-€100K gross + 20% bonus on collective milestones\nAlso open to: interns / young graduates (5-6 month internship, €2,000-3,000/month, strong CDI potential)\nCV + a writing sample (something you wrote for a technical audience, or a short teardown of Windmill's current funnel) + a short note on what you'd do in your first 30 days (keep it genuine - a two-liner beats an AI-generated paragraph) →  (subject: \"Growth & Developer Marketing\"). Bonus: link to a growth project you've run.\nApply here or email \n30 min interview with founder\nCase study / growth exercise\nYou're hired","description_format":"text","description_chars":3678,"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":[{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Workflow & Process Automation (RPA, BPM)","Developer Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T10:07:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.364,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":52,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":111831,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/windmill-devtool-growth-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/windmill-devtool-growth-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T15:17:54Z","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":20769,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"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":847},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=847"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwindmill-devtool-growth-lead"},{"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%2Fwindmill-devtool-growth-lead"},{"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%2Fwindmill-devtool-growth-lead"},{"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/windmill-devtool-growth-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwindmill-devtool-growth-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":236092}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"windmill.dev","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":236092},"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.
