$150,000 - $180,000 base salary + meaningful equity (4-year vest). Additional benefits include $15K relocation bonus for moving to the Bay Area ($5K if already in the Bay Area and moving closer to office), health/dental/vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, and potential performance bonuses.
What we're looking for:
We need someone with 2-5 years of experience in growth marketing or GTM roles who has owned acquisition pipelines at early-stage or high-growth startups. You should be comfortable operating in ambiguity with a B2C or professional-facing growth mindset and have a track record of scaling user/expert acquisition through paid ads, referrals, community building, and creative channels. Bonus points if you have experience growing the supply side of a two-sided marketplace.
What you'll do:
- Own expert acquisition end-to-end — build and run multi-channel marketing campaigns (paid ads, email, referrals, events, community) to scale our expert network from 100K to millions
- Manage a 7-figure annual budget with full autonomy over channel allocation and spend optimization, making rigorously data-driven decisions on what to double down on
- Build and nurture expert communities through social media, Reddit/Discord engagement, Slack channels, ambassador programs, and in-person events to drive organic growth and retention
- Plan and execute IRL events including expert dinners, hackathons, roundtables, and conference activations across the country to recruit and engage domain experts
- Partner directly with the CEO and Head of Projects to shape the supply-side growth strategy and identify new acquisition channels we haven't yet explored
- Drive Terac's brand credibility within expert communities — make being a Terac expert a sought-after title through compelling messaging, social presence, and community programming
Terac is building the infrastructure for accessing human capability on demand. As an AI-native two-sided marketplace, Terac connects enterprises needing specialized expertise — for AI training, evaluation, market research, and other expert-driven work — with high-quality professionals who can deliver that knowledge.
Terac's vision is to fundamentally change how labor is allocated in the world. The company is building an automated system that deeply understands what every person is capable of, what work customers need completed, and what creates a great match between the two. By synthesizing thousands of signals about a person's knowledge, performance, preferences, and potential, Terac replaces the crude proxies the labor market has historically relied on — résumés, credentials, and personal networks — with intelligent, data-driven matchmaking.

Culture & Working Style:
This is a high-intensity, in-person team and the culture emphasizes ownership, autonomy, and moving fast. Half the team is on visas, reflecting a diverse and global talent pool. The founders are deeply involved in day-to-day execution — there are no layers of management, and new hires work directly alongside leadership.
Growth Trajectory:
Terac has raised $9M in seed funding and is preparing for a Series A in the coming months. The company is at an eight-figure run rate and expects to exceed $10M in revenue in the next year. Team members joining now are true founding members with the opportunity to shape the company's trajectory and grow into leadership roles as the team scales.
The team is looking for people with high ownership, startup hunger, and a bias toward action - people who want to be in the trenches building something from scratch rather than managing established playbooks.
Terac is a two-sided marketplace that connects enterprises with high-quality domain experts on demand. On the demand side, clients include enterprises conducting market research, data companies training AI models, and leading research organizations that need access to specialized knowledge. On the supply side, Terac recruits and manages a network of white-collar professionals (from early-career specialists to senior industry leaders and retired experts) who complete short-form projects like expert consultations, AI training and evaluation tasks, and research engagements.
The platform acts as an AI-native expert network (similar to AlphaSights but built with modern AI infrastructure). Terac's core technology synthesizes thousands of signals about a person's knowledge, performance, preferences, and potential to automatically match experts with the right opportunities. Rather than relying on crude proxies like résumés and credentials, Terac builds a deep understanding of both what people are capable of and what work needs to be done, then intelligently allocates human capability to where it creates the most value.
Today, Terac places thousands of experts per month at an average rate of over $90/hour across 50+ active projects for 25+ clients. The company's vision is to scale from 100,000 experts to 10 million, building the infrastructure for accessing human capability on demand and fundamentally changing how labor is allocated globally.
