Founding Product Marketing Lead

Compensation: 0.5% – 2.0%

About Software Velocity Corp

Software Velocity Corp. is building TestGPT, an AI-powered software assurance platform. As AI accelerates software creation, organizations face a growing challenge: proving software behaves correctly before release. TestGPT ingests system artifacts, builds a structured model, and automatically generates traceable tests and evidence. We are helping teams close the last mile of software assurance.

About the role

We are seeking a Founding Product Marketing Lead to help define our category and become the public face of the platform. Titles we have seen fit this role include Product Marketing Manager, Product Evangelist, Developer Advocate, Solutions Engineer, Technical Product Manager, and Customer Success Lead.

• Create a one-sentence explanation anyone can repeat.
• Build a repeatable demo and messaging framework.
• Conduct customer and prospect interviews.
• Produce thought leadership content.
• Help turn curiosity into customer conversations.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to help define a category and shape the voice of an early-stage AI company. You will influence product direction, messaging, and go-to-market while earning meaningful equity.

What You'll Do

Define the Category

• Create a story that technical and non-technical audiences understand immediately.
• Build a repeatable messaging framework.
• Position software assurance as a why-now problem.

Product Evangelism & Community

• Deliver demos, webinars, conference talks, and podcasts.
• Engage developer, quality, and AI communities.
• Represent TestGPT at events and meetups.

• Turn customer wins into repeatable stories.

Content & Thought Leadership

• Create videos, articles, and technical content.
• Drive LinkedIn and community engagement.
• Establish credibility in the market.

What We're Looking For

We care more about your ability to make complex technical products understandable and compelling than about a specific title or domain background.

• 10+ years building, marketing, selling, or advocating technical products.
• Experience in developer tools, software quality, AI, security, or related markets.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills.
• Startup mentality and comfort with ambiguity.

Our Culture and who we are:

We are building an early-stage company around a real industry problem that we understand deeply. Our culture values curiosity, ownership, practicality, humility, and thoughtful execution. We move quickly, but we also care about building things the right way.

We are low-ego, collaborative, and highly engaged in solving meaningful problems. This role is a fit for someone who enjoys creating clarity where ambiguity exists and helping shape a product and a new category.
