Job summary

Sycamore Labs, Inc. is seeking a marketing writer to explain complex enterprise capabilities to buyers and own publishing across website, blog, and press materials.

You will work directly with founders and engineers to learn capabilities, draft precise copy, and measure impact, while preserving the brand voice as the product scales. Equity is offered with competitive cash compensation.

Qualifications

  • Writing you can show us (newsletter, blog, publication, documentation, or launch you wrote).
  • Evidence that you have shipped something to an audience and looked at what happened afterwards.
  • Genuine interest in the technical subject matter; you should be willing to read product docs and ask engineers questions.
  • You can distinguish between persuasive and true statements and prefer the latter.
  • AI-native; you use modern AI systems to expand throughput while owning voice, judgment, and facts.

Responsibilities

  • Own a marketing problem end to end, from framing through drafting through publishing and measurement.
  • Write for a technical and enterprise audience: launch content, website copy, product material, and posts under our own byline.
  • Keep the website, blog, and press material accurate as the product and the company change.
  • Work with engineering to understand a capability well enough to describe it precisely, and to catch places where copy overstates it.
  • Measure what happened after something shipped, and say plainly when the answer is that nothing did.
  • Protect the brand’s voice and visual guidelines while the company grows fast enough to strain both.

Skills

Strong writing
Clear communication
Judgment about claims
AI-native mindset
Design sense

Education

Job description

Help an engineering-led company explain itself to the people who buy from it, and own a piece of that work rather than assisting with it.

About Sycamore

Sycamore is building the trusted agent operating system for the enterprise. Our platform helps companies build, deploy, and orchestrate agentic apps that take on real operational work, with the security and control large organizations need.

We are a small, engineering-led team working directly with Fortune 500 enterprises. We have raised $65M from Coatue and Lightspeed, along with other investors and industry leaders.

What you will do

  • Own a marketing problem end to end, from framing through drafting through publishing and measurement.
  • Write for a technical and enterprise audience: launch content, website copy, product material, and posts under our own byline.
  • Keep the website, blog, and press material accurate as the product and the company change, which is most of the ongoing work and the part usually skipped.
  • Work with engineering to understand a capability well enough to describe it precisely, and to catch the places where our copy overstates it.
  • Measure what happened after something shipped, and say so plainly when the answer is that nothing did.
  • Protect the brand’s voice and visual guidelines while the company grows fast enough to strain both.

What we are looking for

  • Currently pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree, or recently graduated. We care about what you have made, not your year or program.
  • Writing you can show us. A newsletter, a blog, a publication, documentation, or a launch you wrote. Length is not the point; clarity is.
  • Evidence that you have shipped something to an audience, and that you looked at what happened afterwards.
  • Genuine interest in the technical subject matter. You do not need to be an engineer, but you should be willing to read the product’s documentation and ask an engineer a specific question.
  • Judgment about claims. You can tell the difference between a sentence that is persuasive and a sentence that is true, and you prefer the second.
  • AI-native. You use modern AI systems to expand your own throughput, while owning the voice, the judgment, and the facts.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and no established playbook. Much of this role is deciding what deserves attention.
  • Design sense, or at least strong taste. You should notice when something looks wrong even if you cannot fix it yourself.
  • A 30-minute introductory conversation.
  • A 60-minute conversation about your writing, including something you have published and what you would change about it now.
  • A working session where you take a real Sycamore capability, learn it well enough to explain it, and write the material you would publish.
  • Own a real piece of how a company presents itself, at the point where those decisions are still being made.
  • Write about work that is genuinely hard, for readers who will notice if you get it wrong.
  • Work directly with the founders and with the engineers building the product.
  • Learn how enterprise software is actually evaluated and bought, which is very different from how it is marketed.
  • Receive competitive cash compensation and meaningful equity in the company you are helping build.

Hard problems, real impact

Trust architectures, memory systems, multi-agent coordination. The foundational layer that makes agentic apps work in production.

Small team, high ownership

Every engineer shapes the product and the culture. No layers of process between you and the work that matters.

Backed by the best

$65M from Coatue, Lightspeed, Abstract Ventures, Dell Technologies Capital, 8VC, and notable industry angels.

Grow with us

Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and a genuine focus on your growth as the company scales.
