What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Growth position at talentpluto?

Location: San Francisco or New York (Hybrid / Remote-Friendly)

Work Model: Hybrid preferred; remote considered for exceptional candidates

Industry: AI / Data Infrastructure / Developer Tools

Compensation: $80k-$150k Base Equity

About The Company

Our partner is a YC-backed, profitable AI infrastructure startup reshaping how information on the internet is accessed and used. As the world transitions from humans searching static web pages to AI agents crawling the web in real time, their platform is building the gateway between AI systems and the open internet. With over 150 customers and rapid revenue growth, the company is backed by leading investors and positioned to become the foundational data layer for the AI ecosystem.

The Opportunity

We’re helping their team hire a Growth Lead (Content-Focused) to join as one of the company’s first go-to-market hires. This is a high-impact opportunity to take a breakout YC startup from product-market fit to scale. You’ll work directly with the founding team to build Crust Data’s public presence, shape its brand voice, and launch creative, data-driven content that gets the right people talking.

This role is ideal for someone who’s part storyteller, part strategist, and part builder — someone who loves experimenting, shipping quickly, and creating systems that turn small wins into scalable growth loops.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with founders to design and execute awareness strategies that make the company visible across key channels.
  • Create engaging content — from data visualizations and business insights to stories about the product and team.
  • Build and launch lead magnets, landing pages, and micro-products to test new audiences and use cases.
  • Develop and execute social media and community strategies across LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Reddit, and niche online spaces.
  • Identify and build partnerships to amplify distribution and brand reach.
  • Track performance metrics, analyze results, and systematize what works for repeatable growth.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience creating or managing viral or high-engagement social media content.
  • Strong writing and storytelling ability with an eye for design and presentation.
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, experimental environments.
  • Technically curious and interested in AI, data, or developer tools.
  • Tenacious, self-directed, and comfortable taking ownership from day one.

Nice-to-haves

  • Built and grown a personal or company social following (10K across LinkedIn, Twitter, or TikTok).
  • Experience launching side projects, SaaS tools, or data-driven products.
  • Familiarity with SEO, automation, or growth loops.
  • Participation in online tech communities (Hacker News, Product Hunt, Discord, Reddit).
  • Former founder or early-stage operator experience.
