Descripción del empleo

You speak both languages: science and people.

We build award-winning smart glasses in Vienna: hardware, firmware, software, all under one roof. Eye tracking is at the heart of our technology. Our technology is complex, peer-reviewed, and genuinely worth writing about. We’re looking for a freelance science and technical writer who can take a briefing, dive deep into the subject matter, and come back with content that is accurate, compelling, and publication-ready, in both German and English.

This isn’t ghostwriting for generalists. It’s serious technical content that needs a serious writer.
