Technical Product Marketing Manager

About Eventual

Every breakthrough AI application, from foundation models to autonomous vehicles, relies on processing massive volumes of images, video, and complex data. But today’s data platforms (like Databricks and Snowflake) are built on top of tools made for spreadsheet-like analytics, not the petabytes of multimodal data that power AI. As a result, teams waste months on brittle infrastructure instead of conducting research and building their core product.

Eventual was founded in 2022 to solve this. Our mission is to make querying any kind of data, images, video, audio, text, as intuitive as working with tables, and powerful enough to scale to production workloads. Our open-source engine, Daft, is purpose-built for real-world AI systems: coordinating with external APIs, managing GPU clusters, and handling failures that traditional engines can’t. Daft already powers critical workloads at companies like Amazon, Mobileye, Together AI, and CloudKitchens.

We’ve assembled a world-class team from Databricks, AWS, Nvidia, Pinecone, GitHub Copilot, Tesla, and more, quadrupling our size within a year. With backing from Y Combinator, Caffeinated Capital, Array.vc, and top angels from the co-founders of Databricks and Perplexity, we’re looking to double the team now. Join us—Eventual is just getting started.

Please note we are looking for someone who is willing and able to come into our San Francisco office in the Mission district 4 days / week.

Your Role

As Daft Eventual's founding Technical Product Marketing Manager, you'll architect our go-to-market strategy during a pivotal transition—taking our open source project commercial. You'll be one of our first marketing hires, shaping how we connect with developers, grow our community, and drive adoption.

You'll wear multiple hats as both community champion and GTM strategist—crafting technical content that excites developers, speaking at conferences, and working with enterprise prospects to showcase how Daft solves their challenges. You'll bridge our engineering innovations with the ML/AI developers who need them most.

If you're energized by growing both an open source community and commercial business simultaneously—and want to define how thousands of developers experience data processing in AI—this is your role.

Key Responsibilities

• Developing and executing the go-to-market strategy for Daft, growing adoption across engineers and researchers working on the cutting edge of ML/AI

• Keeping a pulse on the latest developments in ML/AI and data, crafting compelling content (blog posts, case studies, documentation) that demonstrates Daft's unique value propositions

• Building relationships with key community members, contributors, and enterprise users

• Working closely with engineering to bring the amazing technical capabilities we're building every day to life as content that resonates with our target users

• Establishing metrics to measure adoption, engagement, and community growth

• Evangelizing Daft at industry events, meetups, and conferences

• Collaborating with enterprise customers to develop success stories and testimonials

• Proven experience growing developer communities and driving adoption of technical products, especially at Series A to C startups

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with that special ability to explain complex technical concepts

• Data-driven approach to measuring and optimizing marketing initiatives

• Experience with content creation, including technical blogs, documentation, and thought leadership pieces

• Familiarity with open source development models and community building

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who works well in small, focused teams with fast iterations and lots of autonomy.
