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.

Were building a generational company that empowers the next billion knowledge workers to create with AI - not by writing code, but by expressing intent.

Were backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator ($30M seed round - the largest in YC history).

We work hard, move fast, and dont take ourselves too seriously. Its intense, but its also fun - at Wordware, youll do the best work of your life alongside people you genuinely like.

head of growth @ wordware

not necessarily a software engineer, but youve written code before and understand how things work under the hood. maybe you still dabble in frontend or have side projects. the point is: you need to deeply get our product and our users. implementing your simple ideas into main product and doing experiments in this way, would make your and my lives easier.**

You will also be selling

being real: this is a hard role to fill. i (Filip) am currently heading growth and will be opportunistic about finding the right person.

you need to be able to say in two sentences something so impressive it will make me want to talk to you immediately. if that doesnt come to mind, dont apply.

the actual challenge: we have 350k users and are defining a new category (natural language ai development). we need someone who can turn "building AI with plain english" into a movement. someone whos already done something similar and knows exactly how to take "interesting tool" to "holy shit, this is the future."

the bigger picture: were not just talking to traditional developers. were reaching the next 500 million people who will be "coding" with plain english - lawyers, designers, product managers, founders, and domain experts of all kinds. this means threading an impossible needle: deep enough for engineers, accessible enough for everyone else, and compelling enough to show both groups why this matters.

success of your role

  • based on revenue + MAUs! If you dont like KPIs also dont apply
  • turning tinkerers into advocates
  • making prosumers see deployment potential
  • getting enterprise to trust a new paradigm
  • managing full-funnel growth (yes, including sales pipeline for now)
  • building multiple scalable acquisition channels
you probably:
  • have grown a tool/platform from <100k to millions of users
  • built and scaled multiple viral loops that actually worked
  • know how to make technical content spread like wildfire
  • managed sales pipelines (maybe)
  • can spot growth opportunities others miss
  • understand both technical and business metrics
  • have done this before at a similar stage ($1-20m ARR)
  • (!!) are technical enough to understand and explain our product
  • (!!) can handle data analysis and growth engineering
technical requirements (need some, not all):
  • ability to analyze usage patterns in posthog
  • experience with lead scoring and PQL/MQL processes
  • familiarity with data enrichment tools
  • can handle programmatic SEO
  • comfortable with marketing automation
  • enough SQL/analytics to make data-driven decisions
  • willing to learn what you dont know or manage freelancers who do
real talk:
  • youll work directly with me (Filip, CEO)
  • sf only - no remote
  • we dont need growth tips, we need someone whos done it and keen to do it again
  • vc funding ($30m biggest out of YC seed) means nothing if we cant make this the default way to build with ai
  • you enjoy weird company culture, we host crossbow competitions on sunday (really), our new office is 30m from the sea and has a sauna
ps: were backed by spark capital, felicis, and y combinator ($30m seed - biggest out of YC round) but we still work like a seed startup. and yes, the office will have a sauna and be 30m from the sea
