  • Iterate content based on feedback and results

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Day to day, you'll monitor the news and developer conversation, identify what's worth engaging with, develop angles and post ideas, write and refine content across LinkedIn, X, and other external platforms, and iterate quickly based on feedback.
  • You'll work closely with communications and marketing but operate with real ownership over the content calendar and the quality of what goes out.
  • This is not a traditional content role. The bar is high — no fluff, no generic takes, no posts that read like they came from a PR template. The audience is technical and they'll know the difference

Requirements

  • You have a technical foundation — engineering degree, CS background, or equivalent time spent working closely with engineering teams — and you've developed a strong instinct for communicating complex ideas clearly. You read widely across tech, not just in your lane. You have opinions about what's happening in software development and you can defend them.
  • You write well. Not marketing well — actually well. Short, specific, direct. You know when a sentence is doing real work and when it's filler.
  • You're comfortable going deep on a product to understand how it works, why it's built the way it is, and what problems it actually solves. You'd rather understand something thoroughly than approximate it.
  • You move fast, take feedback without friction, and have good judgment about when something is ready versus when it needs another pass.
  • A background in engineering combined with an MBA, or experience on the analytical or investment side of tech — VC, strategy, research — is the profile we have in mind. What matters most is the combination: technical fluency, sharp writing, and genuine curiosity about where enterprise software is going.

  • Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
  • Flexible work schedule
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
