What the role involves
Own Windmill's growth - from developer awareness to self-serve activation to expansion. So far, 3M ARR has been built with zero outbound and reasonable marketing efforts - imagine what a dedicated growth person could do. This is a broad, high-autonomy role spanning developer marketing, community, content, and product-led growth.
Content & developer marketing: write technical content (tutorials, comparisons, case studies) that developers actually want to read. SEO, social, community channels.
Community: grow and engage the open-source community - Discord, GitHub, forums. Surface feedback, spotlight contributors.
Product-led growth: improve onboarding, activation funnels, self-serve conversion. Work with product/engineering on growth experiments.
Analytics: measure what works - traffic, signups, activation, expansion. Data-driven iteration.
Who we're looking for
Ideal candidate
you've already done growth / developer marketing for a devtool company and can point to concrete results - content that drove signups, community programs that scaled, funnels you optimized. That hands-on devtool growth experience is the single strongest signal for this role.
Two profiles fit well
- A software engineer who wants to branch out - you've built things, you speak the language, and you want to explore the DevRel / growth side while staying close to the product.
- A hacky non-engineer with a strong affinity for tech - you may not write production code, but you understand developer tools deeply, learn fast, and can credibly engage a technical audience.
Either way
- Proven devtool growth experience is strongly preferred. You've grown awareness, adoption, or revenue for a developer-facing product and can show what worked.
- You understand how developers evaluate tools, what content resonates with them, and how open-source adoption works.
- You can write clearly about technical topics - blog posts, docs, comparisons.
- Comfort with analytics, funnels, and experimentation. You don't just create content - you measure its impact.
- Scrappy and autonomous - this is an early-stage role with wide scope.
- 0–4 years of experience in growth, developer marketing, developer relations, or a technical role with a growth bent.
Example projects in your first 3 months
- Write and ship a head-to-head comparison series (Windmill vs Airflow, Temporal, Retool, n8n) optimized for search
- Redesign the onboarding flow to get new signups to a running workflow in under 3 minutes - measure activation lift
- Launch a community showcase program - spotlight real customer use cases on blog, Discord, and social
- Build a self-serve analytics dashboard tracking the full funnel from landing page to paid conversion
- Run a targeted campaign around a major product launch - landing page, demo video, HN/Reddit/X distribution

About Windmill
Windmill is an open-source developer platform that turns scripts into workflows, internal tools, and full-stack apps. Write scripts in Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, Rust, SQL - Windmill auto-generates UIs from their parameters, handles dependencies, credentials, permissions, and scheduling so you focus on business logic, not infra. Open-source alternative to Airflow, Temporal, Retool and n8n. Chain scripts into flows with branching, parallelism, retries. Build dashboards with the app builder. Trigger via cron, webhook, or UI. All-in-one runtime, editor, secret manager, and OAuth platform - enterprise-ready out of the box. Stack: Rust / TypeScript + Svelte / PostgreSQL. Self-hostable, easy to deploy, built for performance and DX.
