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.
Key Responsibilities
Required
Skills & Experience (required)
- 5+ years of developer tool or B2B marketing experience, ideally in enterprise, technical, or developer-focused products
- Proven record. You have created content that drive inbound demand or community engagement
- Hands-on creative skills, comfortable producing videos, carousels, and digital campaigns
- Experience with technical writing: You must be able to edit a tutorial on cloud infrastructure and understand the difference between ‘latency’ and ‘throughput’.
- Experience collaborating across sales, product, and design.
- Proficiency with video/design tools (e.g. Figma, Descript, or your stack of choice.)
- Based in London or willing to relocate (on-site collaboration is essential for context and creativity)
Nice-to-haves
- Experience in developer tools, AI, or life-sciences, or devtool infrastructure.
- Personal content projects (LinkedIn, blog, or creative portfolio) that demonstrate marketing craft.
- You have built or managed an active developer community

- Product Designer (Paul): Ensure that visual storytelling and brand identity stay consistent, creative, and aligned with our mission.
