Head of Growth Marketing

About AstrocadeAstrocade is a UGC gaming platform where anyone can turn an idea into a playable, shareable game in days, not months. Think YouTube, but for games. We've grown to more than 20 million users within just a few months of launch, and we're only getting started. Backed by Sequoia, NVIDIA, and Google, Astrocade was founded by Amir Sadeghian (Stanford PhD), Ali Sadeghian (Ex‑Google Research), and Fei‑Fei Li (Godmother of AI). We're building the infrastructure for a new era of interactive entertainment.About the RoleWe're building a two‑sided platform: creators who make games, and players who discover and play them.
