What is Type

AI teammates for real company work

Type lets companies create AI teammates for marketing, sales, support, and ops. These are not chatbots. They are shared agents with their own computer, integrations, and skills, operating alongside humans as real teammates.

We are backed by leading investors and our customers range from e-commerce brands to vertical SaaS companies to data infrastructure platforms.

Who we are

Small, direct, and close to the work

We are a small, distributed team of tinkerers, builders, and creatives with hubs in NYC and SF. We previously built collaborative products at Stripe, Airbnb, Atlassian, and Twitter.

Everyone stays close to customers, writes clearly, ships concretely, and owns outcomes.

Why now

The signal is here

We have found product-market fit and are seeing customers land and quickly expand to multiple departments and use cases. We are hiring a founding marketer to turn that signal into a repeatable growth engine.

What you will own

Strategy, experiments, systems, and numbers

Test

01

Run experiments across events, paid, content, social, partnerships, and lifecycle. Move fast, kill what does not work, and double down on what does.

Build

02

Stand up the growth stack. Pick the tools, wire the integrations, and build AI-powered workflows that let one marketer do the work of a small team.

Measure

03

Own the dashboard. Know which channel is working, which is not, and why. Report weekly to the CEO.

Evolve

04

Shape product messaging, positioning, and brand as we learn what resonates with each customer segment.

Learn

05

Compress the learning loop. Whoever learns fastest, wins.

6 months in

What success looks like

  • A clear answer to "where do our best customers come from?" backed by data
  • At least 2 channels producing repeatable, predictable pipeline
  • A growth operating cadence the rest of the team plugs into

Who you are

A builder who happens to market

  • Track record driving growth at an early-stage startup, ideally as one of the first marketing hires or as a founder yourself
  • Hands-on operator across marketing platforms, ads systems, analytics tools, and whatever else needs learning
  • AI-native: already using LLMs, agents, and AI tools to multiply your output, with opinions about which ones are actually good
  • Experimentation mindset: you would rather ship five small bets this week than one big bet next quarter
  • Strong writer who can draft a landing page, tweet thread, and customer case study without needing a brief
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and able to make progress without a fully formed strategy handed to you

Who you are probably not

This is not a pure strategy role

  • A brand-only marketer who hands execution to an agency or team
  • A pure strategist who builds decks but does not ship
  • Someone who needs a team of marketers working under them to be productive

Compensation & benefits

Built for high ownership

  • $170k-$210k base salary
  • 0.25-0.5% equity
  • Full health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Flexible PTO
