What We Are Looking For
Distyl AI is hiring a Technical Content Creator who writes with depth, moves fast, and uses AI as a force multiplier. You'll own our content engine from end to end: long-form technical writing that engineers respect, short-form video that makes top candidates stop scrolling, and a consistent brand voice that makes Distyl impossible to ignore.
This isn't a support role. You'll have a seat at the table, a direct line to our engineering team, and the latitude to build something from scratch.
Key Responsibilities
Own and drive the content calendar — ideation, scheduling, publishing, and iteration
Maintain a consistent publishing rhythm of 2–4 quality pieces per month across channels
Track performance across channels and use data to sharpen what's working
Partner with sales to ensure content drives qualified pipeline, not just engagement metrics; track which content and channels generate leads
Own and manage a regular Distyl newsletter that keeps our audience of engineers, executives, and prospects engaged with our latest thinking, product updates, and industry perspective
Write and edit technical blog posts, white papers, thought leadership pieces, case studies, and presentations
Translate complex AI/ML concepts into content that both engineers and executives actually want to read
Develop and maintain Distyl's brand tone of voice across all written channels
Own Distyl's LinkedIn company page and support executive profiles
Produce authentic, DIY short-form video content — filmed on your phone, not a film set
Develop creative video concepts and scripts from scratch, and pull in teammates, engineers, or founders to bring ideas to life on camera
Build content that drives recruiting interest and brand awareness among technical audiences — attracting top-of-funnel candidates is a real goal, not an afterthought
Experiment relentlessly
Support events and conferences to build relationships with the technical community
Own and manage Distyl's video presence end to end — from short-form social clips to longer-form technical explainers — scripting, filming, and editing
Partner directly with our PR agency to align content with media strategy, support campaign execution, ensure a consistent narrative across owned and earned channels, and draft press releases and media pitches
Ghostwrite executive content across formats — LinkedIn posts, op-eds, bylined articles, award submissions, and speaking abstracts — for the CEO, co-founder, and other executives; you can capture a founder's voice and make it sound effortless
Develop and nurture direct relationships with journalists and analysts covering AI and enterprise tech
Who You Are
3–7 years of experience in content creation, technical writing, social media, or a related role
Agency, startup, media, or independent creator backgrounds all welcomed — what matters most is your body of work, not your title history
Hands-on social media experience — whether that's a personal presence or owning a company's social profile, you know what it actually takes to grow an audience and make content perform in the wild, not just in theory
Prior experience in a technical domain (engineering, data, AI/ML) is required
Bachelor's degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, Computer Science, or a related field is a plus
Exceptional writer — clear, opinionated, and technically credible
Ability to write in someone else's voice — you can capture a founder's tone and make it sound effortless
Strong AI fluency: you use AI tools daily and know how to get the most out of them without losing your voice
Comfortable going deep on technical subject matter and making it accessible
Self-directed and fast — able to ship without heavy oversight
Portfolio of writing that demonstrates range: technical depth alongside clear, compelling narrative
Ability to quickly iterate and adapt to new tools
Work samples or portfolio required
Nice to have: existing relationships with reporters and editors covering AI, enterprise tech, or business media
What We Offer
The base salary range for this role is $100K – $150K, depending on experience, location, and level. In addition to base compensation, meaningful equity, along with a comprehensive benefits package
100% covered medical, dental, and vision for employees and dependents
401(k) with additional perks (e.g., commuter benefits, in‑office lunch)
Access to state‑of‑the‑art models, generous usage of modern AI tools, and real‑world business problems
Ownership of high‑impact projects across top enterprises
A mission‑driven, fast‑moving culture that prizes curiosity, pragmatism, and excellence
