Growth Marketing Lead

About us Software 3.0 (owner of AI Engineer events and community) is focused on building a global network of flagship and regional events, partner events and year-round community engagement opportunities. Our mission is to empower and unite the global AI engineering community by delivering transformative events, knowledge exchange, and collaborative experiences that accelerate practical AI progress. AI Engineer is the AI industry's only vendor-neutral event focused solely on engineering. We work with all the major players in AI - from OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft, to Neo4J, Sonar, Arize - to name a few. We have experienced remarkable success with our event series, including AI Engineer Summit, AI Engineer Worlds Fair 2024, AI Engineer Summit NYC 2025, and AI Engineer Worlds Fair 2025 . In 2026, we expanded into Europe with AI Engineer Europe (London), and returned to San Francisco for AI Engineer World's Fair 2026. Attendance has grown from 500 engineers at our inaugural Summit to over 7,000 at World's Fair 2026 roughly a 1,300% increase in three years - and we plan to continue expanding the series and growing the community at this pace. By 2030, the AI Engineer World's Fair annual event is projected to attract over 15,000+ attendees, establishing it as a leading global gathering in AI and technology. AI Engineer is uniquely positioned to become as indispensable to the AI ecosystem as SXSW, CES, E3, and GDC are in their fields. To support this growth, we are hiring a Growth Marketing Lead focused on strengthening our digital presence, growing the AI Engineer audience, and activating the community as a key marketing channel. Position Overview We are seeking a hands-on Marketing Lead to grow and activate the AI Engineer audience across digital platforms and community channels. The primary objective of this role is driving awareness, audience growth, and ticket sales for AI Engineer events, while leveraging the community to strengthen audience engagement and event participation. While this role includes communications, its primary focus is growing the AI Engineer audience and driving event attendance through effective marketing campaigns. This role will also support speaker promotion and amplification, ensuring that speakers are actively involved in promoting their sessions and that their work reaches a wider audience. In addition, the role will support sales enablement by coordinating sponsor-facing marketing materials in collaboration with sales, production, and creative teams. This role does not own production processes, vendor management, or event app setup, but works alongside production and creative to ensure marketing and communications are aligned.
