About DevMarathon
DevMarathon is building a challenge-based platform for evaluating developers through real execution rather than relying primarily on resumes, interviews, or traditional coding assessments.
Developers complete structured software challenges while DevMarathon captures evidence of how they approach problems, plan their work, make technical decisions, manage scope, use modern development tools, and ultimately ship.
Our goal is to make proof of work a stronger signal for developer hiring and practical technical evaluation, especially as AI changes how software is built.
DevMarathon is designed for:
The product is live and developers can already participate in public challenges.
B2B organization and challenge functionality is also in place, while deeper hiring, candidate-evidence, and evaluation capabilities are currently under active development.
We have also started seeing early paid validation from the developer side.
We are now looking for a Growth Co-Founder who can take ownership of customer discovery, positioning, distribution, partnerships, and early customer growth.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional marketing job, a freelance social media role, or a position where you will receive a predefined list of tasks every week.
You would join DevMarathon as an early co-founder and work directly with the technical founder to help determine how the company reaches the right users and turns an early product into a repeatable business.
You will have meaningful influence over:
We are looking for someone who wants to help build the company, not simply market an already finished product.
What You Will Own
Your primary responsibility will be taking DevMarathon from early product validation toward repeatable distribution and customer growth.
This will include:
The exact playbook has not been written yet.
Part of your job will be helping us discover it.
Who We Are Looking For
You may be a strong fit if you:
Previous startup experience is valuable, but not required.
A specific degree, location, career path, or prestigious company background is not required either.
We care more about evidence that you can learn, communicate, experiment, execute, and create results.
That philosophy is also central to what DevMarathon itself is trying to build.
What This Role Is Not
This opportunity is probably not a good fit if you are primarily looking for:
DevMarathon is still early.
Some experiments will fail. Positioning may evolve. Customer segments may change. There will be questions without obvious answers.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable turning that uncertainty into experiments, learning, and progress.
Equity and Compensation
This is currently an equity-only co-founder opportunity. There is no salary at this stage.
The selected Growth Co-Founder may receive up to 10% equity, depending on experience, level of commitment, responsibilities, expected contribution, and overall fit.
Equity will be subject to:
The objective is to build a long-term co-founder partnership, not to fill a temporary marketing role.
Current Stage
Joining at this stage means having significant influence over not only how DevMarathon grows, but also what it becomes.
