About the role

Responsibilities

  • Build and run the content engine to turn launches and engineering work into a reliable cadence of high-quality technical content.
  • Design launch narratives, including announcements, docs-adjacent explainers, and demos; work closely with the Product team to build playbooks that reduce overhead for each launch.
  • Identify customer stories, interview engineering teams, and write compelling content that resonates with other engineers.

Requirements

  • Published work that has gained traction (e.g., front page of Hacker News, widely quoted threads, content engineers share, or self-built audience); links to writing samples required.
  • Deep enough understanding of technical concepts to present them credibly; genuine curiosity about infrastructure, CI, and the broader market.
  • Ability to extract stories from engineers by reading design docs or pull requests, developing a thesis, and asking targeted questions.
  • Write with a distinct point of view, favoring arguable over safe content.
  • Very online with strong instincts for developer social channels, Hacker News, X, and early trends.
  • High autonomy to decide what is worth writing with no existing manager, briefs, or calendar.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience extending content into video, conference talks, or other multimedia formats.
