Certificates power modern software. Kubernetes, service meshes, containers, microservices, distributed databases & queues, configuration management & orchestration systems, BeyondCorp proxies, and secure software supply chains all use certificates. Organizations running modern infrastructure make extensive use of certificates, whether they’re aware of it or not. Smallstep builds an opinionated, extensible platform for DevSecOps public key infrastructure (PKI). With it, engineers can easily manage private TLS/SSL or SSH certificates for all their internal workloads and developers.

Smallstep turns zero trust and beyondprod best practices into a toolkit that empowers any developer or operator to properly secure their infrastructure. We work with small to large DevOps organizations and help to secure modern infrastructure. We are looking for a Product Marketing professional who can assist our product-led go-to-market efforts. The ideal candidate will have experience working in a startup environment targeting infrastructure SaaS and software solutions.

A successful candidate will have:

2+ years working in technology product marketing.
A passion for making the complex simple
Strong knowledge of modern cloud architectures and popular development tools, platforms, and/or relevant frameworks
Experience creating and distributing content of all types (blog, video, social, sales presentations, competitive, etc.).
Interest or passion to evangelize through speaking & writing.
You document everything and make it easy for others to find and take action against.
Bonus points if technologies such as HTTPS/TLS, certificates (X.509), and OAuth are not foreign to you.
