This is a generalist role that is both technical and customer facing.
As the first Content Engineer on the team, you will be the face of the company on the internet, producing technical written content, creating sample apps, and launching mini projects using our API. This role has a rough split between 75% writing and 25% coding.
What You'll Do
You'll own the entire content engineering function. This means doing everything related to content for developers, including:
- Technical Writing: You'll develop high-quality sample code, technical blog posts, and technical demos to improve the developer experience.
- Coding: You'll ship polished projects using our API, create sample apps, and be hands-on in creating coding-related content for the internet.
- Product: You'll chat with our customers to deeply understand what they need, how they found us, and what they searched. You’ll create written content + build apps around their interests.
- Marketing: You’ll own the content calendar and help with product launches that are blasted out to our audience of 10k+ developers.
At the moment, this role doesn't involve speaking at tech conferences or creating video content, but there is opportunity for the role to evolve down the line.
What It Will Be Like
- Huge impact. You'll have a major role in building a culture centered around customer empathy. You get to build the foundations of the company and developer experience.
- No bureaucracy. You’ll own and drive every initiative you work on from start to finish. We fully trust you.
- Massive growth opportunities. And not just on the technical side. Anything you want to learn about the business we’ll teach you.
Why You Shouldn’t Join
- You are not ready for the occasional 60 hour work week right now.
- You are not comfortable working without clear structure.
- You are not ready for a risky career opportunity. Even with our growth, we are still an early-stage startup. If you need something more predictable, this is not the right fit.
- You’re not excited about working with engineers. You won’t be able to succeed in this role unless you love our customers and want to truly help them in whatever way possible.
