At Fireworks, we’re building the future of generative AI infrastructure. Our platform delivers the highest-quality models with the fastest and most scalable inference in the industry. We’ve been independently benchmarked as the leader in LLM inference speed and are driving cutting-edge innovation through projects like our own function calling and multimodal models. Fireworks is a Series C company valued at $4 billion and backed by top investors including Benchmark, Sequoia, Lightspeed, Index, and Evantic. We’re an ambitious, collaborative team of builders, founded by veterans of Meta PyTorch and Google Vertex AI.
Fireworks is building one of the most important infrastructure platforms in AI. Just like frontier open-source inference enables sustainable unit economics for our customers, we are building a sustainable growth engine to drive demand gen for the Fireworks business. We're hiring a Paid Growth Marketer to lead all paid marketing programs across the full funnel, from awareness to engagement and activation.
This is a hands-on role. You'll manage multi-million dollar budgets with analytical rigor, build the measurement infrastructure that connects spend to pipeline, and develop Fireworks' internal capacity for structured paid experimentation. You'll also think strategically about where the paid landscape is heading and position us ahead of it.
You'll report into the Director of Growth and partner closely with Sales and Product to align paid programs with product launches, sales cycles, and ICP targeting. The ideal candidate will bring a strong growth mindset to everything they do, using AI as a productivity accelerant to move faster and operate more effectively than any traditional paid marketer could.

- Actively use AI tools to accelerate your work and see that as a core part of how great marketers operate today
- Communicate clearly and concisely: you can align a sales partner, brief a product manager, and update leadership without losing the thread
- Adept at navigating ambiguity and bias to action; the paid playbook here is still being written and you're excited to write it
- Experience marketing developer tools, APIs, or infrastructure products
- Familiarity with the API inference provider ecosystem
- Experience standing up or evolving marketing measurement infrastructure
