As Head of Marketing, you will report to our CEO and manage our existing Demand Gen, Growth, Marketing Ops, and DevRel teams.

Sourcegraph is a $50m ARR business, growing fast, with customers like Stripe, OpenAI, X, Uber, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Capital One, Booking.com, and many more. We are doubling down on our core Search technology for the AI era, including Deep Search (agentic, natural language search), Sourcegraph MCP and API for agents (powering coding agents to search across and build context on the largest codebases in the world), and critical code migration and workflow engines, like Batch Changes (large scale code migrations) and Code Monitors (code change-driven workflows). You will be responsible for the technical product marketing and brand marketing that will bring that story to life in the market, as well as ensuring alignment with and results from our Demand Gen and DevRel teams.

We move fast and hold ourselves to an extremely high bar for product quality and Developer authenticity. If you’ve made a mark in Developer marketing, and are ready to step up to lead an entire marketing organization, talk to us.
