About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Developer Content Marketer who blends empathy with technical understanding.

Someone excited to build a foundation that’s human-centered and rooted in excellence.

If you care about meaningful work and high-quality products, this is a place where your impact will truly matter.

Responsibilities

• Establish trusted, developer-first messaging
  Become deeply fluent in our products and ICP challenges, and translate our domain expertise into clear, accurate, and empathetic messaging for technical decision-makers.

• Drive qualified developer discovery through content
  Use content as a primary lever to materially increase organic discovery across search and LLM-driven surfaces for high-intent developer problems.

• Validate and refine positioning through experimentation
  Run high-cadence content experiments across blogs, landing pages, technical explainers, customer stories, and sales assets to identify and validate the narratives that resonate most.

• Create credible customer-led use cases
  Interview customers directly and produce clear website use cases that help developers quickly assess product fit and trust.

• Enable Sales and Customer Success with strong collateral
  Deliver and iterate on customer-facing content that supports real sales conversations, onboarding, and expansion, informed by continuous Sales and CSM feedback.

• Own editorial strategy
  Maintain a forward-looking editorial plan aligned with product launches and GTM priorities, while continuously contributing to and engaging in developer discourse off-site, and enriching content decisions by a deep understanding of our ICPs’ SERPs and LLM queries.

About you

• Strong writing skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly and credibly

• Experience writing for APIs, SDKs, or developer tools

• 3+ years of experience creating content for developers, technical buyers

• Strategic mindset: you think in terms of impact, not just output

• Comfort interviewing customers, internal experts, and stakeholders

• Ability to balance planning, execution, and iteration in a fast-moving environment

• Experience with SEO, organic discovery, and modern content distribution (including LLM-driven discovery)

• Using LLMs as an orchestration tool for content

• Ability to work autonomously and collaborate cross-functionally
