Careers at iSocialize

Small team. Real work. No hiding behind tickets.

We build custom software and do serious security work for businesses in India, the US and Europe, from Mumbai and Berlin. We are not a body shop and never want to be. We hire rarely, and when we do, it is for people who care about doing the work properly.

Global Marketing Lead

Full-timeMid–seniorRemote · Mumbai or Berlin preferredIndia · US · EU markets

Apply by email

Our small growth and market-development team is coordinated from Berlin and supports business development across Europe, North America, India and the Middle East. The team builds relationships, researches markets, publishes useful content, runs focused business-development campaigns and introduces iSocialize Tech locally through meetings, events and printed company material.

We are now looking for a dedicated marketing lead to guide this team and develop the operation further. You will have real authority to shape how iSocialize Tech is positioned in different markets: what lands in Berlin and Mumbai is not necessarily what lands in San Francisco, Dubai, Australia or New Zealand.

You won't simply execute someone else's plan. You'll set priorities with leadership, coordinate the team's work across regions and remain involved in the campaigns that matter. Our Berlin operation will be your closest partner for the European market.

Honest note: this is a hands-on leadership role. You will guide an existing small team while continuing to write, review campaigns, study performance and take responsibility for results.

What you'll own

Content and thought leadership from our engineering team
SEO: we rank for some things already; you'll find the gaps
Paid channels: Google and LinkedIn across India, the US and the EU
Prospect engagement and nurture for inbound leads
PR in the right tech and business publications
Our partner and referral programme

What we're looking for

3+ years in B2B marketing; tech services, SaaS or security preferred
You understand long sales cycles
You write well yourself, not just brief copywriters
Fluent with Analytics, Search Console and ad dashboards
Experience in at least two of India, the US and the EU
Opinions about what's a waste of money, and the confidence to say so

No surprises

How we hire

Four steps. No trick questions. No tenth round.

Your email

A short note, a link to something you've made, and what you're looking for. No templates.

A 30-minute call

With the people you'd work with. We talk about your work, ours, and whether it fits. Relaxed and direct.

A paid task

Two to four hours of real work, paid. You get honest feedback whatever the outcome.

A decision

A clear answer within 5 working days. If it's a no, we tell you exactly why. We never ghost.

Why people join

What you get here.

No ping-pong tables. Just the things that make the work good.

Remote-first

Work from Mumbai, Berlin or home. We care about what ships, not when you badge in.

Two cities, one team

Daily work with engineers in Berlin and Mumbai. Your code is reviewed across both.

Clients, not tickets

You hear the problem first-hand and see people use what you built.

Learn security for real

Security is part of every review, so you pick it up on live projects, not slides.

Friday learning hour

Every week, an hour on the calendar to learn something new. Protected, not optional.

Room to grow

We are small and growing. The people who join now help shape the team that comes next.

Weekends in Berlin

Some weekends, the Berlin team gets together for a tennis session or heads out to a party. It is always optional, but it means we know one another beyond meetings and come back on Monday with fresh energy.

Two cities, one team

Engineered in Berlin. Rooted in Mumbai.

One codebase, one standard, two time zones. Between our two offices, someone is always awake for a client in Asia, Europe or the US.

Where it started

Mumbai

Local time --:--

Where iSocialize was founded in 2013, and where our delivery, client and security-testing teams work today, serving clients across India, the Gulf and the US. Engineers here work hand in hand with Berlin on every product.

Berlin

Local time --:--

Since 2019, most of our engineering has happened in Berlin. It is where architecture is decided, where our products are built and reviewed, and where the standards everyone works to are set: thorough specs, clear documentation, and privacy treated as a requirement, not a feature. The team also sits close to our European clients and runs workshops in person across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

What this means for you: you won't be "the offshore team" or "head office". Berlin leads the engineering, Mumbai leads delivery, and both work on the same projects and the same codebase. Join in Berlin and you'll shape how our products are built; join in Mumbai and you'll work alongside the Berlin engineers every day, close to the clients who use what we build.

How we work

Five things that are true here.

Not job-ad language. What actually happens, week to week.

You talk to clients. Directly.

No account managers in between. You join the calls, understand the problem first-hand, and own what you build. It can feel like pressure. It is also why people here get good, fast.

You own features end to end.

Nobody hands you tickets in a queue. You scope it, build it, test it and explain it to the client. It is a lot of responsibility, and the quickest way to become a genuinely senior engineer.

Security is everyone's job.

We do security professionally, so our developers know what SQL injection looks like and why a public S3 bucket is a crisis. If you don't yet, you will learn it here, on real projects.

Variety is the default.

A logistics dashboard for a manufacturer one month, a healthcare app for a US clinic the next, GDPR work for a European startup after that. Great if you are curious, tiring if you are not.

Every idea gets a fair hearing.

In project reviews and boardroom discussions, good ideas do not depend on job titles. Everyone is welcome to contribute, every suggestion is considered, and useful thinking is carried into the products we build. Join us and bring your point of view.

You say it early when something is wrong.

Unrealistic timeline? Gap in the spec? Say so on day one, not in week five when it has become a crisis. We would always rather have the uncomfortable conversation early. Nobody gets blamed for raising a problem; people get trusted for it.

A typical week

What your week actually looks like

Monday

Plan with the client

A short call to agree the week's priorities, with the client in the room, not summarised for you later.

Tuesday

Deep work

Protected building time. Few meetings, real progress.

Wednesday

Review across cities

Code review between Mumbai and Berlin. Security is part of every review.

Thursday

Ship to staging

Working software on a staging link, not a status report.

Friday

Demo and learn

Show the client what moved, then take an hour to learn something new.

Be honest with yourself

Is this the right place for you?

Both columns matter equally. We would rather you read this and decide not to apply than join and be unhappy.

You'll thrive here if…

Messy code you didn't write still bothers you a little
You've built something just to see if you could
"That's not my job" doesn't come naturally to you
You learn new things because you want to, not because you're told to
You can explain a technical decision to a non-technical person without talking down to them
Ownership and impact matter more to you than a big title

It probably isn't right if…

You want a predictable 9-to-5 where tomorrow looks like today
You need a detailed task breakdown before you can start
Talking to clients is something you'd rather avoid
You only ever want to work on one narrow thing
You're looking for a stepping stone to a bigger company in six months
You need constant check-ins to stay on track

Don't see your role? Introduce yourself anyway.

We keep a shortlist of engineers, security researchers and technical people we'd love to work with, in Mumbai and Berlin. When a role opens, that's where we look first, not job boards.

growth@isocialize.co.in

We reply to every application within 5 working days, even when the answer is no.

Do include: who you are, what you build, the kind of work you want, and a link to something real (GitHub, portfolio, a live project or something you've written).

Please skip: a CV formatted like a school project, "I am a hardworking and passionate individual", and a cover letter that could go to any company on earth.
