About Wordware
Software
Wordware is an AI context lab based in San Francisco that develops an IDE enabling non-technical domain experts and AI engineers to build, iterate, and deploy task-specific AI agents and applications using natural language. Originally focused on AI development tools, it pivoted in 2025 to Sauna, an intelligent AI assistant that compounds context, learns user preferences, eliminates busywork, and handles proactive automations for deep work.
What you will do
- Own the end-to-end demand generation strategy, manually running ads, writing copy, and standing up server-side conversion tracking.
- Build and scale a high-velocity creator program requiring hundreds of monthly creatives to fuel significant six-figure monthly budgets.
- Architect a sophisticated growth engine involving programmatic SEO, affiliate networks, and product-led content loops alongside an engineering partner.
Who this is a fit for
- Proven track record of taking a product from unknown to known, with the ability to quote specific growth metrics and attribution models.
- Hands-on experience managing large-scale performance marketing budgets across Meta, X, and TikTok, including creative production and technical measurement.
- Exceptional writing skills and a systems-thinking mindset, capable of automating complex workflows using tools like Sauna to scale their own impact.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join the team behind the largest seed round in YC history ($30M), backed by Tier-1 investors like Spark Capital and Felicis.
- Step into a “solved” product market fit with 74% week-two retention where your only hurdle is generating awareness from zero.
- Work from a unique office in the Presidio, complete with a private sauna and beach access, while building the future of AI-driven software.
