About Lago
At Lago, we’re on a mission to make billing simpler, more transparent, and more adaptable for SaaS companies.
As the leading open-source billing platform, we empower businesses to build flexible pricing models and scale with confidence.
We also raised over $22 million in funding from top tier investors, reflecting strong investor confidence in our vision and growth.
Our platform has garnered over 7,000 stars on GitHub, a testament to our active and growing developer community.
Next-gen companies such as Mistral.ai, Together.ai, Groq and Laravel chose Lago for their billing.
We’re a team of ambitious, focused individuals who work together to solve hard problems with excellence and accountability.
At Lago, we value reliability and proactivity—we trust each other to own tasks, drive them to completion, and adapt quickly. While we encourage you to try fast and “fail fast” (if needed), we also expect you to learn fast: make mistakes, but don’t make the same one twice.
If you’re excited by challenges and want to grow alongside a high-performing, supportive team, this is the place for you.
The Role
As our first Developer Marketer, you’ll play a crucial role making sure as many engineers as possible hear about Lago, and the experience is best-in-class for those who try it and use it.
What You’ll Be Doing
You need to have written code before, ideally for at least 2 years.
This role involves writing code, developing applications that integrate with Lago, and also producing content.
You don’t need to be an expert at writing or producing videos, but you need to have a passion for sharing, you should have already written articles and produced videos in your spare time, for instance.
Above all, you'll have curiosity, the ability to learn quickly, and a drive to become an expert in Lago’s product.
Examples of projects
Audit the deployment experience, recommend an action plan that can be implemented in the next 3 weeks, and 3 months, and execute it, with the support of the team
Identify the top 3 features that can should be more used, recommend an action plan to drive more adoption (and how to measure impact),and execute it, with the support of the team
For that you will also need to:
•Become our API expert: Dive into ourdocumentation, deploy Lago, use it for applications you’ve built, stretch the product to discover use cases
•Own and drive your projects to lead developer awareness and adoption
•Collaborate with excellence: Work closely with our engineering, product, and marketing teams to ensure a seamless customer experience.
•Anticipate and identify new needs: Be the internal Voice of the Customer to improve our processes, product, and drive expansion and renewal discussions
Who You Are
•A builder, a developer: You enjoy contributing to open-source, attending hackathons, writing code and content, in your spare time.
•Eager to learn: You don’t need to be a product expert on day one, but you’re excited to pick up new skills and dive into our product.
•An empathetic and goal-driven communicator: You can explain complex ideas in simple, relatable ways for both technical and non-technical audiences.
•Ambitious and accountable: You aim for excellence while owning your work and driving it to completion.
•Reliable and proactive: You take initiative, solve problems creatively, and thrive in a dynamic environment.
•Driven by impact: You’re motivated by meaningful work and love seeing how your efforts help customers and the team succeed.
What We Value
•Talent density: We’re not only looking for “extra pairs of hands”, we prioritize hiring exceptional people who raise the bar for everyone around them.
•Velocity of execution: We move fast and value individuals who can make things happen without sacrificing quality.
•Learn fast: We encourage you to fail fast but expect you to learn fast—embracing mistakes as part of growth but ensuring they aren’t repeated.
•Doing what you say (you’ll do) and telling what you do: We’re working in a geographically distributed environment with flexible processes, therefore accountability and proactive and clear communications are key to succeed.
•Open source ethos: Transparency and collaboration aren’t just values; they’re how we operate.
Who You’re Not
•Someone who once learnt how to code but doesn’t code any more: You market to developers, and need to be a developer
•Someone who doesn’t like framing messages: You should be obsessed with how people receive messages, understand new concepts and what would make their lives easier
•Looking for a laid-back environment: We value focus, ambition, and high standards— you’re looking for personal and professional growth. You’re bored with routine tasks and excited by solving new problems.
•Reliant on rigid playbooks: This role is about creativity and adapting to the customer, not following a script. If you’re looking for a playbook you can “rinse and repeat”, this is not a place for you.
