About Surface Labs
Surface Labs is an applied AI lab building the Lead Operations Center for B2B marketing teams. Surface unifies lead capture, qualification, and routing, follow-ups and long-term nurture — allowing marketers to spend 80% less time on manual ops work and more time finding creative ways to convert leads into revenue.
We're live in production with Surface AI agents processing 50K+ leads monthly, are backed by YC/Garry Tan and Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of HubSpot), and just doubled our team size in the last 2 months across Engineering, Design, and GTM.
The Role
You'll own the content engine at Surface Labs. Not a writer, not a marketer — an engineer who treats content like a product and ships distribution systems end-to-end. Pure commission, uncapped, tied directly to pipeline you influence.
You'll own:
- Content pipelines across LinkedIn, Reddit, X, YouTube, and our blog
- AEO/GEO visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot (we track 147 prompts today)
- Blog infrastructure, CMS (Notion → Next.js ISR), and internal content tooling
- Claude-powered workflows that turn one insight into 50 pieces of content
- Measurement — impressions, visibility %, pipeline influenced
Who You Are
- 1+ years shipping production code (any stack; we use Next.js + TypeScript + Python)
- Written content people have actually read (LinkedIn, blog, Reddit, Twitter — show us)
- Power user of Claude, Cursor, or similar — you 10x your own output
- Opinionated about distribution, not just creation
- Moves fast, ships daily, measures everything
- Comfortable betting on yourself — this is a commission-only role
Bonus: Ran paid ads, done SEO/AEO work, built a personal following from zero, or worked at a B2B SaaS in growth/content eng.
Comp
- Base: $0
- Commission: $2K–$5K per closed deal sourced from your content (uncapped)
- OTE: $100K–$200K+ based on pipeline influenced
- Equity: 0.10%–0.50% (4-year vest, 1-year cliff)
