About Prefect
Prefect builds automation for an unpredictable world. The last decade of automation was about protecting workflows from unpredictability; in the agentic era, unpredictability is the point. Our mission is to give people confidence in automated work, whether that work is a mission-critical data pipeline or a fleet of AI agents.
In August 2026, Prefect and Dagster, competitors for eight years, joined forces to build the next generation of automation infrastructure. Today, our ecosystem includes Dagster, the data platform; Prefect, the agent platform; and FastMCP, the leading open-source developer framework for the MCP ecosystem. Together, our open-source and commercial products are trusted by Fortune 500 companies, data innovators, and high-growth technology companies around the world.
We think of our culture as the operating system of the company. We’ve carefully created a supportive, high-performance environment that empowers our team to do the best work of their careers, have meaningful impact, and continue growing personally and professionally. We’re a remote-first team that values high standards, ownership, and thoughtful collaboration.
We have an audience most companies our size would be thrilled to have. FastMCP is the leading Python framework for building MCP servers, with 27,000+ GitHub stars and a docs site developers read start to finish. PyAI, the practitioner community we founded, went from small meetups to a 600-person conference. Prefect's open-source orchestrator has been trusted by data teams for years. This year we acquired Dagster, which brings a second large open-source community with us.
With that opportunity in mind we decided to expand our team by hiring a Sr Growth Marketing Manager. You will own the path from audience to signup to activated user to qualified pipeline, across Prefect, Horizon, and the Dagster funnels. That means attribution, lifecycle and email, paid and organic acquisition, CRO and experimentation. You'll have budget and a number to hit.
You'll report to our Chief Growth Officer and work daily with the rest of the Marketing, Sales and Engineering organizations.
Time zones: Anywhere in the continental US. We're remote-first. We have a slight preference for candidates near New York, the Bay Area, or Washington D.C., where our spaces and most of our events are, but it isn't a requirement.
In your first year you will:
Expand Our Brand Awareness and Pipeline Generation. Own paid and organic acquisition end to end: budget, channel mix, landing pages, and CRO.
Make our funnels scalable and predictable. Build funnels/loops and models for our highest-priority motions (FastMCP to Horizon, Horizon self-serve signup to activation, website to inbound, open source to Cloud) with owners, baselines, and conversion targets.
Own lifecycle. Design and ship the onboarding, activation, and re-engagement sequences that don't exist yet, starting with the thousands of Horizon signups who've never heard from us. Measure activation lift, not open rates.
Experiment fast. Organize campaign taxonomy, UTM discipline, and a clean handoff from HubSpot into Salesforce so we can run multiple experiments to optimize our funnel. Report cost per activated user and pipeline per dollar, and kill what doesn't work quickly and out loud.
Route the audience to the product. Turn FastMCP's developer audience into Horizon accounts through in-product paths, docs placements, end cards, and CTAs. This is the highest-leverage number in the role.
7+ years in growth or demand generation at B2B SaaS or developer-focused companies, with hands-on ownership throughout. You've been the person in the tool, not the person briefing someone who's in the tool.
You know how to use channels and campaigns to generate predictable pipeline for sales and self serve signups.
You've owned an acquisition budget and reported honestly on what it returned, including the parts that didn't work.
You've built attribution from close to nothing before: campaign taxonomy, UTM structure, and a funnel model leadership used to make decisions. HubSpot and Salesforce, or close equivalents.
Lifecycle ownership with measured results. Onboarding and activation sequences where you can tell us the before-and-after conversion numbers, and what you learned when one of them failed.
Comfort being the only person in your function. You'll pick the sequence, say no to good ideas, and ship without a team behind you.
Background at an open-source or developer-tools company. You know why a GitHub star isn't a lead, and you've dealt with the particular weirdness of marketing to engineers.
SQL, and comfort living in a BI tool. Our stack is HubSpot, Salesforce, Amplitude, Common Room, and Omni.
Experience running a product-led self-serve funnel alongside an enterprise sales-led motion without one cannibalizing the other.
You've integrated two marketing stacks after an acquisition and lived to tell about it.
We'd rather you rule yourself out now than be unhappy in six months.
You want to manage a team soon. This is an individual contributor role and will stay one for at least a year. If it grows into a team later, good, but don't take this job expecting that.
You need clean data before you'll commit to a number. Some of our plumbing is broken. You'll fix it while also being accountable for outcomes. Those happen at the same time.
You prefer to work through an agency. You can use contractors for execution. The thinking and most of the building will be yours.
You want a stable roadmap. We merged with another company this year, we're validating a new product direction, and priorities move. If that reads as chaos rather than opportunity, this will be a frustrating job.

We’ve carefully created a supportive, high-performance environment that empowers our team to do the best work of their careers, have meaningful impact, and continue growing personally and professionally. We’re a remote-first team that values high standards, ownership, and thoughtful collaboration.
We're hiring a Developer Relations Engineer reporting to our Chief Growth Officer. You own how developers learn to build with Prefect, Dagster FastMCP and Horizon. That means reference implementations people copy into production, technical content (including video), docs and DX gaps you find by being your own first user, and a public presence on stage, on stream, and in issue threads.
Our Agentic platform, is becoming how enterprises govern all their agent workflows: who can reach which MCP servers, what data flows through them, how usage gets audited, how policy gets enforced. Whoever takes this role will help shape how the world learn about it: the demos, the talks, the reference implementations, while the thing is still being figured out.
This is a generalist role by design. You'll write Python, appear on camera, review docs PRs, and file the bug you just hit, often in the same day.
Time zones: Anywhere in the continental US. We're remote-first. Expect travel for events and a few days a quarter in our recording studio. We have a slight preference for candidates near New York or the Bay Area, but it isn't a requirement.
In your first year you will:
Ship reference implementations developers copy. Working, maintained examples: MCP servers with production auth, gateway configurations, agentic workflows that do something a person would pay for. The bar is that someone builds on your code in production, not that it demos well.
Teach people about agentic workflows. Take a product being defined in real time and make it understandable through demos, posts, talks, and video that a skeptical senior engineer finds honest. You'll work directly with product and engineering while the thing is still moving.
Make video a channel we're good at. We built a recording studio this year and publish across YouTube, LinkedIn, X, and TikTok. You'd own the technical end: what to build on camera, and how to make a fifteen-minute build watchable.
Improve DX by being the first user. Build with our tools before customers do, then file the issue, send the docs PR, and fix the example.
Represent us in public. Conference talks, PyAI, livestreams, podcast episodes, and participation in MCP and Python AI communities as a practitioner rather than a booth.
Bring the field back in. You'll see what confuses people, what breaks, and what's missing before anyone else does. Turn that into product feedback our engineering team can act on.
6+ years writing software professionally, strong Python desirable. This is an engineering role with a public-facing job attached.
A public body of technical work we can go read: repos, posts, docs, talks, or videos developers used. One excellent thing beats ten mediocre ones, and we'd rather see the artifact than hear it described.
You've built things with LLMs and agents (MCP servers, tool calling, agent frameworks, retrieval) and have opinions about what breaks once it's in front of users.
You're good on camera and on stage, or you've clearly got it in you and can show us something. Comfortable isn't enough; a lot of this job is being watched.
You can run as a team of one. You'll choose what to build, ship it, and tell us honestly whether it landed. Nobody is going to hand you a content calendar.
You maintain or substantially contribute to a popular open-source project.
An existing developer audience: YouTube, X, Twitch, a newsletter, wherever.
Data engineering or orchestration background: Prefect, Dagster, Airflow, dbt. Half our community lives there.
You can hold a conversation with a platform or security engineer about SSO, RBAC, audit logs, and PII without changing the subject. Enterprise governance is where Horizon lives.
We'd rather you rule yourself out now than be unhappy in six months.
You're looking to stop writing code. If DevRel is how you'd like to transition out of engineering, this isn't the one. You'll read and write Python or other languages every week.
You want to be a thought leader. We're hiring people who build the thing and then explain it. If your last two years are conference talks with no shipped code behind them, we'll notice.
You need a stable roadmap. One of the products you'd be explaining is being designed while you explain it. That's the fun part or it's the dealbreaker; be honest with yourself about which.

We think of our culture as the operating system of the company. We’ve carefully created a supportive, high-performance environment that empowers our team to do the best work of their careers, have meaningful impact, and continue growing personally and professionally. We’re a remote-first team that values high standards, ownership, and thoughtful collaboration.
We sell two products with two funnels that behave nothing alike. Prefect Cloud and Dagster+ both start with someone running an open source tool on their laptop, and both end either in a self-serve credit card or in a sales conversation with a Fortune 500 data platform team. Between those two points sits our go-to-market data: product telemetry in Amplitude, the warehouse, Salesforce, campaign and channel spend, community signals, and an uncomfortable number of different systems and touch points.
You will own the analytics and data modeling for GTM that describe how someone gets from first touch to activated user to paying customer, across both self-serve and sales. You will report to Gabriel Madureira, our Chief Growth Officer, and work day to day with marketing, sales, RevOps, and product.
Own the go-to-market data model. One definition of an account. One definition of an activated workspace. One definition of pipeline. Version controlled, tested, documented, and deployed by you.
Model the self-serve funnel end to end, from first visit through signup, activation, paid conversion, and expansion, for both Prefect Cloud and Dagster+. Make the drop-off points visible and the cohorts comparable.
Model the sales funnel end to end, from source through MQL, SQL, pipeline, and closed won, including stage conversion and velocity, using Salesforce data as it actually is rather than as the schema claims.
Build attribution that marketing and sales both accept. First touch, last touch, and a multi-touch model, with the assumptions written down so the arguments are about strategy instead of arithmetic.
Build the unit economics. CAC and payback by channel and segment, LTV/CAC, ROI on campaigns and events, self-serve versus sales-assisted. That includes going and getting the spend data nobody has loaded yet.
Ship the reporting layer so go-to-market teammates answer their own questions instead of queuing behind you. We run two Omni instances, one per product. Looker experience transfers directly.
Help us set the go-to-market rhythm. Pipeline reviews, the weekly funnel meeting, board reporting. You'll hear a question before it becomes a ticket, and often you'll be the one who reframes it.
Must have
Four or more years building analytics models in dbt on a cloud warehouse, owned in production with tests, CI, and version control.
Strong SQL, plus enough Python for the parts SQL is bad at: API pulls, spend data, one-off enrichment.
Experience building and maintaining a semantic layer in Omni, Looker, or something comparable. We care that you have modeled metrics for other people to use, not that you have built dashboards.
Direct work with go-to-market teams on funnel conversion, attribution, and unit economics like CAC, payback, and ROI, using real CRM data from Salesforce or HubSpot.
Prior knowledge of GTM systems like Salesforce, Amplitude, Segment, Hubspot.
A product-led or self-serve business: activation, trial conversion, PQLs, usage-based revenue.
A background in engineering or data, meaning you write code, read other people's code, and deploy your own work.
Comfort with AI-native development.
Nice to have
Product analytics tools, especially Amplitude.
Developer tools or open source, where the funnel starts with a pip install and the top of it is a community rather than a lead list.
You want to do machine learning or data science. There is plenty of interesting analysis here, but the core of the job is modeling and measurement for go-to-market decisions.
You expect clean data. Amplitude records page context in four different properties depending on where the event came from, and Salesforce carries campaign fields no process writes to anymore. Sorting that out is the work, not an obstacle to it. If finding out that a field has been silently empty for eight months ruins your week, this will be a long year.
You want to take tickets. People will bring you questions like \"why did self-serve conversion drop in August,\" not specifications. You decide what to measure.
You want to manage a team soon. This is an individual contributor role and will be for a while. You get a lot of influence over how go-to-market data works and no direct reports.

We’re a remote-first team that values high standards, ownership, and thoughtful collaboration.
Prefect acquired Dagster this summer. Our sales engineers now sell three things. Prefect Cloud. Dagster+. And the next generation of AI tooling we're building across both: governed access to tools and data for agents, and durable workflows where agents and humans do the work together.
We're also selling something that isn't on a pricing page. FastMCP, our open-source MCP framework, sits inside a lot of production agent stacks, so teams come to us for how the whole thing should fit: the data layer, the orchestration layer, the context layer, and how agents and humans operate across all three. Much of what a sales engineer does here is demonstrate the art of the possible.
You're a Senior Sales Engineer on the Prefect subject-matter-expert pod, reporting to Wayne Grigsby, Sales Engineering Lead. The pod sits alongside our Dagster pod, and both roll up to George Coyne, Director of Sales Engineering, who runs the function end to end, pre-sale and post-sale.
This is a pre-sales seat. You pair with account executives on new business from the first technical call to signature: discovery, tailored demos, proofs of concepts, security and architecture reviews, and the slow procurement stretch at the end. You'll work across the whole platform. Your job is to figure out how the pieces fit for a given customer, then prove it.
Own the technical side of enterprise deals. From discovery through close: advising prospects, presenting and demonstrating the value of our platforms from a technical perspective.
Distill the use case. Most prospects don't arrive with a clean requirement. They arrive with a data platform, a pile of tools, a team of engineers and users expecting answers, and a budget. You figure out how our products fit together to solve for their use case, then help them validate the approach.
Sell across the platform. A single conversation can span Prefect, Dagster, FastMCP, hybrid architecture, and AI governance, often with a team that knows where it wants to end up but not how to get there.
Turn field signal into product direction. Sales engineers are the closest thing to a market pulse this company has. You'll carry what you hear into our GTM-engineering partnership channels, with evidence, and push when it matters.
Build the things we sell with. Demo environments, architecture diagrams, competitive battlecards, contributions to our internal repos, personal projects, and the occasional blog post.
Contribute and advocate for your ideas. Champion the culture, and keep projects from quietly failing. When something is going sideways, you say so early and you help fix it.
Five things. If you have these, apply, even if the nice-to-haves are thin.
3+ years of engineering experience, building real solutions. Data engineering, DevOps, software engineering, data science: the discipline matters less than the fact that you've built something programmatically and shipped it. Python is our house language.
2+ years in a customer facing role. Deep discovery skills and the habit of uncovering the real problem before proposing anything is key. You ask the second and third question, and you notice what the customer isn't saying.
Curiosity first, then creativity. You take things apart to see how they work, and you don't stop at the docs. Then you put the pieces together in ways nobody handed you: a new use case, a demo that didn't exist yesterday, a workaround the customer didn't know was possible.
You explain hard things clearly to engineers. What's required is that a senior platform engineer finishes a call with you and trusts you.
Nice to have:
2+ years of prior sales engineering experience.
2+ years of Enterprise infrastructure depth. In at least one major cloud (Azure, AWS, or GCP), and comfort with Kubernetes, networking, IAM, service mesh, and a production database like Postgres.
Orchestration tooling as a user, builder, or seller: Prefect, Dagster, Airflow, Temporal, Step Functions, etc.
Fascinated by AI and tinkering with MCP, agents, or LLM applications.

We’ve carefully created a supportive, high-performance environment that empowers our team to do the best work of their careers, have meaningful impact, and continue growing personally and professionally. We’re a remote-first team that values high standards, ownership, and thoughtful collaboration.
Developer Success is the technical support function for Prefect's customers across the Prefect and Dagster product lines. Its mission is to resolve customer technical issues with the least possible customer effort, and to prevent those issues from recurring.
We are hiring a Developer Success Engineer to work the combined Prefect and Dagster support queue. You will diagnose and resolve technical issues in customer environments, own each issue through resolution, and contribute to the documentation, tooling, and product feedback that reduce future volume. You will be trained on both Prefect’s and Dagster’s products.
The team is investing in agent-based automation for routine support work, which is moving the engineering focus toward complex diagnosis and escalation. This role is well suited to an engineer who wants to build deep expertise in orchestration and data platform environments and apply it directly with customers.
Clear the failure state, and prevent the next one. Diagnose problems across Prefect and Dagster installations, integrations, deployments, and the cloud and container environments they run in. Find the underlying \"why\" so your first response resolves the question and pre-empts the follow-ups. Turn what you learn into docs, debugging resources, and tooling that deflect repeat submissions.
Own what's ours; say no clearly to what isn't. Take full accountability for root causes inside our products' domain of control. For problems outside our Scope of Support, issue a principled no that still gives the customer a way forward. Helplessness erodes trust as fast as a wrong answer.
Support your findings, and ask customers to support theirs. Back every diagnosis with evidence and logic. Assume the customer is the expert on their own stack, ask for what you need to troubleshoot both sides of an issue, and explain why you need it. Leave room for the possibility you've missed something.
Give the best possible update every time, and say so when you're still building it. A half-baked answer sent fast is worse than a complete one sent when it's ready; but radio silence is worse than both. When an issue needs to be escalated, you stay the customer's single point of contact, keep them updated on a regular cadence, and close the loop.
Feed the product. File reproducible product issues and surface recurring failure patterns to Engineering and Product.
You'll work the queue independently on day-to-day issues and own moderate-complexity problems end to end, including investigations across a customer's cloud environment. You'll ask when the Scope of Support or an escalation path is unclear, and you'll build the judgment to recognize when an issue belongs with Customer Engineering or a CSM instead. We measure the role on Customer Effort Score and resolution time, held in tension: a fast answer that costs the customer effort isn't a good one.
Coverage is 9am to 5pm Pacific, with an on-call rotation shared across the team.
Must have:
Python fluency at the level of reading and debugging someone else's code, not only writing your own.
Hands-on experience running workloads in at least one major cloud and in containers or Kubernetes, enough to troubleshoot a deployment you didn't build.
Experience with a workflow orchestrator (Prefect, Dagster, Airflow, or comparable) and a strong interest in the data engineering space it lives in.
A track record of technical, customer-facing work: support, solutions engineering, developer relations, or similar.
Clear enough written communication to explain a root cause to a skeptical senior engineer and earn their trust.
Nice to have:
Direct experience with Prefect or Dagster specifically.
A history of open-source contribution, in any project.
SQL and data warehouse familiarity.
Experience building support tooling or automation.
This is a support role. There's a queue, a Scope of Support, and an on-call rotation, and the first job is always the failure state in front of you. If a defined scope and a real customer on the other end of every problem sounds like the point, this is the role. While engineers on this team do contribute code and take on consultative work, the queue comes first. Those opportunities will progressively open up as the agent tooling absorbs the formulaic work.

Our Vision: Prefect will define automation for the context era.
Our Mission: Curate an intelligent context layer that delivers the right information at the right time.
About Prefect
Prefect builds automation for an unpredictable world. The last decade of automation was about protecting workflows from unpredictability; in the agentic era, unpredictability is the point. Our mission is to give people confidence in automated work, whether that work is a mission-critical data pipeline or a fleet of AI agents.
In August 2026, Prefect and Dagster, competitors for eight years, joined forces to build the next generation of automation infrastructure. Today, our ecosystem includes Dagster, the data platform; Prefect, the agent platform; and FastMCP, the leading open-source developer framework for the MCP ecosystem. Together, our open-source and commercial products are trusted by Fortune 500 companies, data innovators, and high-growth technology companies around the world.
We think of our culture as the operating system of the company. We’ve carefully created a supportive, high-performance environment that empowers our team to do the best work of their careers, have meaningful impact, and continue growing personally and professionally. We’re a remote-first team that values high standards, ownership, and thoughtful collaboration.
Product work at Prefect currently lives inside our engineering organization and engineers carry real product ownership. As we grow, co-ordination across products becomes more important and we are looking for a Director of Product to manage product responsibilities across our portfolio.
You will be our most senior dedicated product person, responsible for making our three products work as one coherent portfolio. You'll build our discovery and validation practices and coach our engineers on the product side of their work. You won't inherit a product org and instead will arrive as a team of one inside an engineering-led company.
This role will report to our Head of Engineering, Jenny.
Drive product decisions for shared surfaces across our products such as where certain enterprise features live and what consolidated auth and billing will look like. You will work with product leads (typically Engineering Directors) to align each product's roadmap to the company vision.
Build our product discovery practice - user conversations, customer signal, and problem validation. You don't run every conversation yourself but you set the standard for how discovery gets done, facilitate it across surfaces, and coach engineers to run their own user conversations well. You'll be a key partner to engineers in framing problems and help ground what we choose to build in customer evidence.
Coach the product side of our product engineers - our model asks engineers to carry real product judgment, and you raise that bar across the org helping engineers to frame problems, weigh evidence, talk to users, and decide what not to build.
Design and own the system for measuring the success of what we ship. This includes defining what \"it worked\" means and the practice of validating after launch. You make sure that post launch validation happens and happens honestly. And that what we learn feeds back into what we build next.
10+ years in product, with real product management experience at the leadership level — you've owned multi-team roadmaps, driven tough prioritization decisions and shipped through others without direct authority over them.
You've operated in start-ups and engineering-led orgs. You know how to carry product weight through influence, without a PM org or a reporting line over the people building.
You synthesize across domains. Multi-product portfolios, platform/product tension, or post-acquisition integration experience is a strong signal.
Deep familiarity with the modern data stack, orchestration, or developer tools. Bonus for hands-on experience with agentic systems or MCP.
You've made other people better at product.
Base Salary Ranges:
San Francisco Bay Area & NYC Metro: $221,000–$276,000
Washington D.C., Boston, LA Metro, Seattle: $200,000–$257,000
