Staff Product Marketing Manager, Developer Experience

We're looking for a Staff Product Marketing Manager to own the Onboard & Build stage of the customer lifecycle — the moment a developer (or their agent) first meets CockroachDB and decides whether to build on it. It's the front door of our entire go-to-market motion: if we don't win here, nothing downstream matters.

You'll own four connected user journeys end-to-end — Activation to Collaboration, Data Onboarding & Enablement, Developer Experiences, and Programmability & Extensibility — as a single, coherent stage rather than four disconnected pieces. That's deliberate: the developer's path from “curious” to “building in production” should feel like one story, and you're the person who makes it one.

This is a senior, high-ownership role. You'll set the positioning, build the messaging, and drive the enablement and content for how developers adopt CockroachDB — including the AI-native patterns increasingly defining this stage: agent-driven discovery, MCP and agent-facing surfaces, and the reality that coding agents themselves now evaluate and choose databases. You'll sit inside Product Marketing & DevRel within the R&D organization, close to engineering and on the roadmap early enough to shape the story, not just narrate it.

Below are the journeys you will own:
