About Us

Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.

Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.

At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.

The Role

We’re hiring a Growth Marketer to lead the growth strategy for our recruitment pipeline, owning acquisition, activation, and lifecycle marketing. You’ll set the strategy, build the marketing engine, and scale multi-channel programs that bring high-quality contributors to the Surge platform. This is a cross-functional role partnering closely with other Marketing leaders, Product, Ops, and Execs.

What You’ll Do

• Build scalable acquisition frameworks focused on attracting expert-level contributors (including professionals, writers, coders, and specialized researchers); while defining the growth roadmap, targets, and budget to guide investment.
• Lead high-touch recruitment marketing strategies to engage and convert top-tier talent, and to inform automated pipelines.
• Ignite and scale partnerships across the professional world—spanning writers, ad platforms, academia, research labs, and scholarly communities—to accelerate contributor pipeline growth.
• Design and optimize full-funnel journeys across acquisition, onboarding, retention, and reactivation; while implementing rigorous experimentation for areas of improvement.
• Balance growth with contributor quality embedding rigorous benchmarks and evaluation criteria without slowing down recruitment.

Successful Candidates Have

• Demonstrated repeat success in performance marketing, with expertise in both high-volume targeting and personalized 1:1 outreach for high-value or niche audiences. 
• A proven track record of managing large budgets across multiple advertising channels, while tailoring strategies for specialized segments.
• Strong analytical skills, with a data-driven mindset for decision-making.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with diverse stakeholders, from internal cross-functional teams to external partners.
• Been independent operators who lean into proactive ownership, adapt to ambiguity, and thrive in high-growth environments. 
• A commitment to making the next generation of AI models safer and more useful.
