About the role

Technical Editing and Content Quality

  • Edit security reports across application security, blockchain, cryptography, AI/ML, and research & engineering engagements. Ensure technical accuracy, clarity, and adherence to Trail of Bits style standards.
  • Develop, edit, and publish posts on the Trail of Bits blog, the primary channel for our research and thought leadership.
  • Manage publication through GitHub pull requests and coordinate with internal and external reviewers.
  • Manage the team's report tracker and quality metrics systems, giving leadership visibility into editing throughput, revision cycles, and delivery timelines.
  • Build and refine Claude-based tools for content creation and editorial refinement, freeing the team to focus on higher-value work.
  • Lead document design beyond reports: SOWs, proposals, engineer bios, program overviews, QBR materials, case studies, and testimonials.
  • Shape editorial standards and style guide evolution.

Marketing Content and Amplification

  • Identify and produce marketing content proactively: blog posts, case studies, social threads, newsletter sections, and event collateral.
  • Own the content calendar in coordination with the Technical Marketing Manager and Lead Technical Editor.
  • Create and publish social media content across X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Telegram.
  • Lead proactive story extraction: interview engineers, capture transcripts, and develop drafts from research and tool releases.
  • Work directly with engineering directors to understand their roadmaps and extract content from their teams.
  • Write and edit content for demand generation campaigns, email sequences, webinar materials, and conference activations.
  • Maintain and grow the newsletter pipeline with content curation, section drafts, and repurposed content.
  • Elevate the writing and communication of team members across GTM and engineering.

What You’ll Bring

  • Strong editorial skills with experience working at every level of editing, from line-level edits to structural reorganization.
  • Experience editing against in-house and standard style guides (Chicago and/or AP).
  • Technical content experience editing for accuracy, clarity, and concision in cybersecurity or another technical field.
  • Experience partnering with subject matter experts to draw out and shape content.
  • Technical fluency and resourcefulness with the ability to research answers and improve narrative without changing technical meaning.
  • Proactive story instincts to monitor tool releases, conference talk abstracts, internal channels, and industry news.
  • Writing ability to produce original content including blog posts, case studies, and social threads.
  • Content marketing awareness with experience on campaigns, content calendars, or marketing assets in a technical B2B environment.
  • Tool proficiency in GitHub, Hugo, Slack, markdown, and AI-assisted editing tools like Claude.
  • Experience building or using automation to speed up editorial workflows.
  • Ownership and independence with the ability to operate with minimal direction.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with InDesign or equivalent design tools for document layout and visual materials.
  • Background in content production for cybersecurity, developer tools, or another technical discipline.
  • Familiarity with HubSpot or similar marketing automation platforms.
  • Experience structuring web content for AI discoverability.
