About The Role

As a Growth Engineer, you will own how aion attracts, engages, and activates developers, founders, and AI builders at scale. This is a marketing- and community-first role that sits at the intersection of events, developer advocacy, content, and growth experimentation.

About Aion

aion is the world's first and only AI infrastructure research lab: a full‑stack solution for building, fine‑tuning, and deploying AI at scale. Whether you're a startup founder, enterprise team, or independent developer, aion gives you everything you need to go from concept to production in one seamless platform. By abstracting away infrastructure complexity, aion unifies compute orchestration, training workflows, data pipelines, model versioning, and deployment into a single, streamlined experience. No more fragmented stacks or cloud lock‑in, just fast, scalable, and accessible AI infrastructure. Led by serial entrepreneurs Jayden Watson and Christian Angermayer, aion is well‑funded by top‑tier VCs and strategic partners. Headquartered in the U.K., we operate globally with core teams in London, SF, and NYC.

What You’ll Do

Community & Growth Strategy

• Events playbook: Define and execute aion’s community and events strategy aligned with GTM goals

• Ambassadors: Identify, activate, and nurture power users, early champions, and community leaders

Requirements

• AI‑literate: comfortable discussing training vs. inference with developers
• Social‑native (AI Twitter / viral LinkedIn intuition)
• Scrappy, autonomous, and calm under pressure
• London or Bay Area‑based or willing to travel regularly for events

Benefits

• Join the ground floor of a mission‑driven AI startup revolutionizing compute infrastructure
