The Challenge
Astrocade is the YouTube of games-20M users in months, backed by Sequoia/NVIDIA/Google. You'll own growth for both sides of a two-sided platform: creators making games and players discovering them. Move fast, build systems, and scale before the space gets crowded.
Your Mission
Map and optimize the full creator funnel: awareness → signup → first game published. Target 2-3x improvement in creator-to-published conversion.
Stand up paid media campaigns across Meta, TikTok, Google with agentic automation. Establish baseline CAC and LTV for both creators and players.
Build and deploy 2-3 agentic tools to automate ad creative testing, bid optimization, and performance reporting across platforms.
Launch initial PR push in gaming/creator economy media. Secure 3-5 tier-1 placements within 90 days.
Scale creator acquisition to 5M+ new creators. Build repeatable playbooks for paid social, SEO, and organic that don't require constant manual work.
Achieve product-market fit signals on player side: sub-$2 CAC with 30%+ Day 7 retention. Own the paid funnel end-to-end.
Build scalable SEO/content infrastructure. Rank for 50+ high-intent keywords and drive 100K+ organic monthly impressions by month 6.
Hire and onboard first growth team member(s). Document all processes and agentic workflows so they can scale independently.
KPIs You'll Own
Creator-to-Published Rate
% of new creators who publish their first game within 30 days of signup. Primary proxy for creator product-market fit.
Player CAC & LTV Ratio
Cost to acquire a player vs. lifetime value generated. Target 1:3 or better. Drives profitability.

Organic vs. Paid Mix

Is This Role For You?
- You've scaled consumer products and understand two-sided marketplace dynamics (creators + players, supply + demand)
- You're comfortable being the only growth person, wearing multiple hats (paid media, PR, SEO, social) from day one
- You can think in systems and build repeatable playbooks, not one-off campaigns. You use agentic tools to automate the busywork.
- You move fast, move data-driven, and aren't afraid to ship and iterate. You thrive in chaos and ambiguity.
- You need a team in place on day one or hate being a solo IC. This role is hands-on and scrappy.
- You're uncomfortable with on-site work in Palo Alto. This is 100% in-office.
- You don't understand or embrace AI/agentic automation. The role explicitly requires building tools to automate work at scale.
