Salary

💰 $100,000 - $150,000 per year

About the role

  • 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

Requirements

  • 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.
Benefits
  • 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
