Tracer provides real-time visibility into HPC pipelines for scientific computing. It uses eBPF-powered OS-level data extraction to capture low-level signals across nodes. The SaaS platform integrates with a single line of code and supports bring-your-own-cloud. Designed for regulated industries like pharma and biotech, it works with tools such as Slurm, Nextflow, Docker, and OpenTelemetry to optimize performance and accelerate debugging. Tracer targets large-scale AI and computational workloads, enabling cost insight, faster troubleshooting, and scalable pipeline management.

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 Head of Content and Community, you’ll be our Editor-in-chief and the primary producer behind Tracer’s media engine. You won’t just manage a calendar; you’ll shape how bioinformaticians see and interact with Tracer, through stories, visuals, and (digital experiences) that scientists engage with and enjoy.
This is a true “0 to 1” challenge. You’ll have full ownership of our inbound funnel, working directly with the founders to translate their technical vision into high-impact content that catches the eyes of bioinformaticians in their natural habitat.
We are not looking for an “ad-buyer” or a manager of agencies. We are looking for a maker. If you love the intersection between storytelling, technical education, and creative production, you’re going to have a lot of fun in this role.

Design and operate the “Tracer Media” machine: Take full ownership of our publishing cadence. You aren’t just planning campaigns; you write the copy, edit the clips, and hit publish.
Shape the narrative: Work directly with Tracer’s founders and VP of Marketing to refine Tracer’s positioning and find ways to turn complex observability challenges into clear stories that appeal to the bioinformaticians who read them.
Community growth and distribution: Be the face and voice of Tracer on social channels. Engage in technical discussions on Reddit, LinkedIn, and Biostars and grow our audience through genuine value, not “promotional” posts.
Event & Webinar strategy: Plan and host technical deep-dives and webinars and repurpose long-form content into dozens of bite-sized assets for social distribution.
Marketing Ops and Analytics: Manage the tech stack required to distribute content (CMS, Email, CRM) and report on the metrics that matter and for you that’s:
