About the role

We’re forming a new developer marketing function and need a versatile Content Writer & Editor to create and refine technical marketing content that reaches software engineers and technical buyers. You’ll craft announcements, blog posts, press releases, and technical articles for third‑party outlets; you don’t need to write code, but you must understand the underlying technologies well enough to explain them clearly and accurately. You’ll also edit and elevate posts drafted by Developer Advocates, shaping narratives that align to developer needs and the product roadmap. A writing portfolio is required.

What you’ll do

• Write channel‑appropriate content: launch/feature announcements, product and API blogs, PR copy, and bylines/technical articles for third‑party publications.
• Edit and coach Developer Advocates to sharpen structure, clarity, and developer value; enforce editorial standards and consistency.
• Translate complex concepts (APIs, SDKs, webhooks, auth flows, integrations) into accessible narratives for developers and technical decision makers (no coding required, but strong technical fluency expected).
• Partner with DevRel, Product Marketing, and Docs to source topics, validate accuracy, and align with release timing.
• Build and maintain an editorial calendar tied to developer journeys (learn → build → launch), optimizing for search/AEO discoverability alongside SEO counterparts.
• Establish tone/voice, headline frameworks, and review checklists; manage revisions through to publish.
• Measure performance (traffic quality, time on page, doc/portal click‑throughs, conversions) and iterate content based on insights.

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience writing developer‑relevant content across blogs, PR, and third‑party bylines; samples must demonstrate clarity, accuracy, and audience fit. (Portfolio required.)
• Ability to quickly absorb technical context and interview SMEs to produce precise, credible copy without needing to code.
• Editorial craftsmanship: line editing, structural edits, and developmental feedback for technical authors (e.g., Dev Advocates).
• Cross‑functional collaboration with DevRel and product teams; comfort operating in a newly built function.
• Fintech/payments service provider exposure is a strong plus.
