Agents buy things, run back-office operations and test apps on KERNEL’s browser infrastructure designed for performance, reliability and scale, with identity, observability and payments built in. KERNEL works with any agent harness or model and is trusted by Town, Middesk, Framer, Vercel and more than 20,000 teams. Founded in 2025, we are backed by $22M+ from top investors including Accel and Y Combinator.\n\nOur vision is to be the internet runtime for agents. Agent traffic on the web is growing faster than human traffic, and the web needs new rails for access, identity and trust. We're building them.\n\nAbout the role\n\nWe are hiring a Field Marketer at KERNEL to define KERNEL's field marketing program and scale it as we grow, with real ownership, visibility across the company and a direct hand in how we go to market. You will sit in the Marketing team and work closely with Sales and DevRel to drive both developer sign-ups and revenue.\n\nThis role requires the instincts of a great host, a creative eye, and commercial judgment. You will own the rooms where our best customers get to know us: conferences, VIP dinners, meetups and events we host with partners.\n\nYou'll set the strategy and run the events yourself, from a 12-person technical executive dinner to a sponsored conference activation with hundreds of guests. Our events should feel unmistakably like KERNEL because you care about the details.\n\nYou can see examples of our past events:\n\nhttps://lnkd.in/p/gpB4hbQk\n\nhttps://lnkd.in/p/gCkyN9Mp\n\nYou will:\n\nDefine and execute KERNEL’s field marketing strategy across owned events, sponsored activations and partner events. Choose the cities, audiences, formats and conferences worth investing in, own the calendar, and explain why each one made the cut.\n\nDrive pipeline by partnering with Sales on event targeting, pre/post engagement, and measuring outcomes.\n\nBuild community by partnering with other companies in our space to cohost developer meet-ups and community events.\n\nDesign memorable events that are creative, on-brand, and effective.\n\nOwn the whole experience and the details, from the guest list, venue, run of show, food, demos, the welcome at the door and the follow-up the next day.\n\nTravel as needed to support major events, executive programs, and field initiatives.\n\nWhat we're looking for\n\nYou have 4+ years in field or event marketing, ideally at a developer tools, infrastructure or AI company. You can hold your own with engineers on how agents use the web.\n\nWe care more about autonomy and ownership than years of experience. Founder or early-employee experience is a plus.\n\nYou can tie events to pipeline and show the impact in numbers. You have the judgment to recognize which events are worth investing in, and can say no to events that won't move the business.\n\nYou've run events end to end, often several at once, built account-based programs with a sales team, and kept the CRM honest along the way.\n\nYou're technically fluent enough to earn engineers' trust. Our customers are developers: you can explain how KERNEL works and understand developer documentation and APIs.\n\nYou use AI in your daily work and steer it well on the highest-value problems.\n\nYou communicate clearly in writing and in person.\n\nYou're excited to work on the frontier of the Agentic Internet, where standards are still undefined and the ecosystem is still taking shape.\n\nWhat you can expect at KERNEL\n\nIndustry-competitive salary\n\nAbove market equity\n\nPremium medical + dental coverage + dependent coverage\n\nSmall, trusting team of senior + staff engineers\n\nDefault async with minimal bureaucracy\n\nDaily lunches on us\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\n401k + company match\n\nRelocation assistance","company":"Kernel","rawCompany":"kernel","city":"Millbrae","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-11-15T08:18:34.394Z","occupations":[{"code":"11-2021.00","title":"Marketing Managers","slug":"marketing-managers"},{"code":"13-1161.00","title":"Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists","slug":"market-research-analysts-and-marketing-specialists"},{"code":"13-1161.01","title":"Search Marketing Strategists","slug":"search-marketing-strategists"}],"industries":[{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"541890","title":"Other Services Related to Advertising","slug":"other-services-related-to-advertising"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Field Marketer","description":"About KERNEL\n\nKERNEL is infrastructure for AI agents to use the internet.
