About Wordware
Wordware is an IDE for building AI agents using natural language.
It looks and feels like Notion, but lets you design, test, and deploy AI systems in real time - without writing code.
Our mission is to bring structure and joy to human–AI collaboration.
We’re building a generational company that empowers the next billion knowledge workers to create with AI - not by writing code, but by expressing intent.
We’re backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator ($30M seed round - the largest in YC history).
We work hard, move fast, and don’t take ourselves too seriously. It’s intense, but it’s also fun - at Wordware, you’ll do the best work of your life alongside people you genuinely like.
tl;dr were looking for someone to craft our positioning, messaging, and go-to-market for the all-in-one AI development platform. youll translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling stories that make both engineers and non-technical builders say holy shit, I need this.
what wordware actually is
were building the all-in-one platform for AI development. that means:
a programming language specifically designed for AI, where English meets software engineering
an IDE where notion met vscode and had a baby
deployment options that let you plug directly into products or create automated workflows
a repository where AI agents can be shared, forked, and instantly run
our users range from hardcore engineers to domain experts whove never written a line of code. both groups need to understand how wordware changes the game for them.
the marketing challenge
AI development is messy, complicated, and full of jargon. most companies either dumb it down with AI buzzwords or get so technical they lose everyone. we need to do something different:
make complex concepts crystal clear without diluting their power
position wordware as the obvious solution to problems people actually have
build a brand that resonates with both technical and non-technical audiences
cut through the noise in an increasingly crowded market
what youll actually be doing
owning our positioning and messaging across all channels
crafting our narrative that explains what were building and why it matters
developing go-to-market strategies for new features and capabilities
working directly with our team to extract the compelling stories behind technical features
creating content that showcases the power of wordware without oversimplifying
managing launch campaigns that generate real excitement, not just noise
building our community strategy to nurture our early adopters and evangelists
defining how we talk about our product to different audiences (from VCs to end users)
collaborating with design and content to ensure brand consistency
you might be our person if
you can explain complex technical concepts without sounding like either a corporate robot or a condescending teacher
youve built positioning frameworks that actually get used, not just filed away
you understand developer tools well enough to have opinions about them
youve led product launches that people remembered
you can write copy that makes people feel something
you get excited about AI but can see through the hype
you prefer building a category to just following a playbook
your background probably includes
5+ years in product marketing, preferably for technical products or developer tools
experience creating positioning for products with multiple audience segments
proven track record of successful product launches and campaigns
strong portfolio of messaging work that demonstrates your ability to simplify without dumbing down
experience collaborating with technical teams to extract the stories behind features
bonus points if youve marketed AI products or worked with technical founder teams
real talk about the role
youll be joining early, which means big impact and some chaos
were in SF, you need to be too - no remote for now
youll work directly with founders who care deeply about how we position the product
sometimes youll need to turn around campaigns quickly as we iterate
you need to be technical enough to understand our product (seriously)
what you build will shape how the next generation thinks about AI development
our office has a sauna and is 70m from the beach, so bring your surfboard
if youve ever wanted to define how the world talks about a new category of technology, this is your chance.
send us your portfolio and tell us about a time you took something complex and made it compelling without dumbing it down.
p.s. were backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator ($30m seed) but we still work like a seed startup. the vision is massive, and now we need the right words to share it.
