Full Job Description
*Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco or San Jose office location 4 days per week; Lambda's designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.

Every GPU cloud provider claims to offer faster, cheaper, and more reliable solutions. ML engineers and decision-makers must sift through these promises to form a trustworthy opinion. Lambda fills the gap between claims and real outcomes.

You own the entire process, from strategy to production. Your audience may be a researcher testing a training run or an enterprise buyer building a procurement case, but you control the message. You set the standards, build the system, and define the quality.

What You'll Do
  • Own the strategy and the roadmap. Map content to the full buyer journey, from awareness and education through evaluation and retention, against Lambda's growth, product, and brand goals.
  • Set and maintain the quality bar. Establish rigorous quality standards that empower the team to execute with excellence independently.
  • Run the production system. Intake, prioritization, drafting, review, and launch, at the cadence of product and model releases.
  • Shape how AI gets used in content production. Build the workflows and standards that let AI speed up the work without lowering the bar.
  • Own discovery. SEO and generative engine optimization (GEO) are how most people find us. Keyword research, content gap analysis, and on-page work are inputs to strategy, not a cleanup pass at the end.
  • Build the executive voice. Turn Lambda's narrative into thought leadership that holds up in front of ML engineers and data center operators.
  • Partner on launches. Work with technical product marketing and growth so every major launch and campaign is supported by a well-timed, end-to-end content program.
  • Own measurement. Traffic, engagement, pipeline influence, and content-assisted conversion, fed back into what the team makes next.
  • Build the team. Hire, develop, and shape the content org as it grows.

You
  • You have taste. You can't walk past a vague sentence or a case study that says nothing. You know the difference between content that's technically correct and content that's actually worth reading, and you can teach that difference to someone else.
  • You're deeply curious about AI. You follow model releases, read top papers, and understand why memory bandwidth matters to an ML engineer. You can tell when a technical claim is load-bearing and when it's decoration.
  • You have a point of view on AI-assisted content. You've produced work with these tools yourself, you know what to trust them with, and you have opinions about where they break down.
  • You've led a content function, not just a content calendar. You've managed and grown people, and you can point to content you shipped and results you can attribute to it.
  • You think in systems. You design content architectures, not individual pieces. You understand how a benchmark post, a technical guide, and a case study work together.
  • You balance strategy and execution. You can build a 12-month roadmap and then sit with a writer to get one hard piece over the line. Neither mode intimidates you.
  • You excel at cross-functional leadership. You work with technical product marketers, researchers, engineers, designers, and web marketers, and you synthesize all of it into one coherent editorial vision.
  • You're rigorous about measurement. You define what working means, instrument for it, and act on what you find.

Nice to Have
  • Experience writing or editing for ML practitioners, whether at an infrastructure company, a research lab, or a developer tools start-up.
  • Experience building AI-assisted production workflows for content or other creative work.
  • A track record building organic and generative search visibility in the AI space.
