About the role

Founding Growth San Francisco, CA Full-time, in-person $200k to $400k + meaningful equity
Opportunity
Coding agents now write most of the code. The bottleneck has moved from typing to everything around it: observing, monitoring, debugging, root-causing, on-call, deciding what’s safe to ship. The lifecycle is collapsing into two halves. One half is intent. The other is execution. The execution half should not be this hard.
We’re building Polylane: the platform that lets developers ship self-operating software. Software that watches itself in production, investigates issues, finds root causes, and ships fixes before anyone gets paged. Software that operates itself.
Someone has to make sure every developer on earth hears about it. That’s this role: growth built as a software system, not a spreadsheet, owning the loop from a developer hearing about Polylane to a workspace with a connected cloud.
What you’d work on
- Owning the self-serve funnel end to end: waitlist, onboarding, activation, and the instrumentation that tells us what’s working.
- Building the content engine: docs, changelogs, technical posts, and the tooling that makes publishing fast.
- Shipping growth experiments weekly and killing the ones that don’t move anything.
- Building distribution surfaces: integrations, templates, CLI install flows, and the places developers discover tools.
- Turning product moments into shareable artifacts, the way an incident investigation becomes a story worth posting.
What we’re looking for
You should be a strong full-stack engineer who has owned growth, activation, or developer experience before. This is an engineering role with growth instincts, not a marketing role with a code editor. You write TypeScript fluently and ship fast: prototype, iterate, throw it out when it doesn’t work.
You think in funnels and cohorts, and you instrument before you argue. You write well; developer marketing is mostly writing that respects the reader.
Taste is especially helpful here: for what developers actually share, for prose, for what makes a tool feel right under a developer’s hands. And an allergy to what they scroll past.
Who is Coreplane Labs?
A small team, and the company behind Polylane. We’ve operated at Cloudflare scale, where we built the observability platform used by millions of developers every day. We’ve spent years writing, operating, and breaking production systems for a living.
Coreplane is what comes next. Based in San Francisco. We work in person.
