Overview

About Semaphore

Semaphore is a fast, powerful, and developer-friendly CI/CD platform trusted by startups and enterprises to ship high-quality software, fast. After a decade of steady growth, Semaphore has recently gone open source and is now entering an exciting new phase: building a thriving developer community and becoming the leading open source CI/CD solution that works at any scale.

We’re looking for a Head of Growth to lead our go-to-market efforts. If you’re excited about developer tools, open source, and rolling up your sleeves to drive meaningful growth, this role is for you.

Your mission

You’ll be responsible for owning and executing all aspects of Semaphore’s growth and go-to-market strategy. That means turning product milestones into market momentum – whether it’s a new feature launch, community push, or partnership opportunity – and collaborating with our lean but capable team to make it happen.

What you’ll do

• Own existing and develop new revenue channels and monetization strategies
• Develop and execute campaigns that drive user acquisition, activation, and retention
• Translate product milestones into impactful launch plans (e.g., new features, open source releases)
• Own our open-source growth loop, from GitHub stars to community engagement and content
• Build and manage co-marketing and integration partnerships
• Identify and pursue distribution opportunities across developer marketplaces and ecosystems
• Lead positioning and messaging for product and marketing initiatives
• Manage or collaborate with writers, designers, and freelancers to produce content and assets
• Measure performance and continuously iterate to improve KPIs

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience driving go-to-market execution at a devtools, B2B SaaS, or open source company
• Strong operator with the ability to turn strategy into action and deliver results
• Understanding of software developers and modern software delivery
• Hands-on experience with product launches, content, partnerships, and growth channels
• Resourceful, self-managed, and comfortable working in a lean, async environment
• Strong communicator and collaborator across functions
• Bonus: experience growing open-source projects or developer communities

Benefits

• The impact of working on a product that competes on a global market.
• Join a small team of around 30 full-time people who love what they do.
• A healthy 40-hour work week, friendly and supportive work environment.
• Competitive salary.
• Company retreats.
• Space to learn continuously and choose the tools and equipment for your job
• Paid trips to conferences and books of your choice.
• Interact with developers who use Semaphore and talk about the latest and greatest way to develop and ship software.
• Paid membership at a fitness club of your choice
