Job Summary

Own and publish the research program built on Faros data, shape the category with editorial assets, and extend each cycle into derivative content for demand generation and sales while collaborating with data and engineering and representing the work publicly.

  • Publish and present the work across webinars, podcasts, and talks

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the research content program: concept, methodology, analysis, and publication of reports built on Faros engineering data
  • Partner with our data and engineering teams to interrogate the dataset, find the cuts worth publishing, and kill the ones that mislead
  • Build the editorial content that shapes the category: field guides, frameworks, and opinions engineering leaders repeat in their own words
  • Represent the research in market: webinars, podcasts, conference talks, and analyst conversations
  • Atomize each report cycle into derivative assets the demand gen and sales teams can run with
  • Measure what your content does: what gets cited, what converts to intent, and feed that back into what you make next

Requirements

  • You've shipped developer-facing research with your name on it: a State of X report, an ecosystem survey, a benchmark study
  • You're fluent enough in data to be a real partner to engineers: you can interrogate a dataset, spot the finding worth leading with, and know when a cut of the numbers is misleading
  • You write for engineers the way the best developer-facing companies do. We hold a high bar on register and will test for it
  • You're comfortable being the face of the work: on stage, on a podcast, in a room with a skeptical CTO
  • You'd rather publish one thing people cite than ten things people skim

Preferred

  • Background in software engineering or data analysis
  • Familiarity with the engineering leadership space: DORA, developer productivity, AI-assisted development
  • Experience producing or scripting short video for technical audiences
