About Tracer Many scientific teams face two major challenges: the difficulty of debugging complex computational pipelines and the rising cost of running them at scale. Together, these problems slow the pace of research and drive up infrastructure spend, making breakthroughs in areas like drug development harder to achieve.
Tracer is building an observability platform for high-performance computing that helps researchers and engineers both optimize costs and improve reliability, unlocking faster discovery across a market that spans life sciences, engineering, and beyond. Backed by over $3M from top investors and based in London, we’re assembling a founding team to tackle this opportunity. Ready to make an impact?
About The Role As Tracer’s Founding Marketing Director, you’ll build the creative engine that makes our brand impossible to ignore. You’ll shape how the world sees Tracer through stories, visuals, and (digital) experiences that build trust with engineers and scientists at the world’s most innovative companies.
You’ll have full ownership and autonomy to build brand awareness from the ground up, defining Tracer’s narrative, testing value propositions, and growing inbound interest and community engagement. Working closely with the founders, you’ll translate our mission into campaigns that make Tracer stand out in the developer and scientific ecosystems.
This role is perfect for a hands-on marketer who thrives at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and storytelling, and wants to build a brand from 0 to 1 in a fast-moving, technical environment.
