This role is on-site in San Francisco in the Dogpatch neighborhood.
About the RoleGiga ships product fast. What we don't ship fast enough is the writing that makes builders understand why it matters. We're hiring a Founding Technical Writer to own our engineering voice externally - technical blog posts, teardowns, and narratives published on a weekly cadence. Marketing owns distribution. You own craft.
The quality bar: Anthropic's engineering blog (their multi-agent research posts, Claude Code best practices) and Ramp's Builders blog (Forward Deployed Engineering, Abstraction Engineering). If those are publications you read and have opinions about, we should talk.
What You'll Ship- 2 flagship technical posts per month (1,500-3,000 words, interview-driven, your byline) - the kind of posts engineers share with their teams
- 2 shorter pieces per month - tactical teardowns, customer engineering stories, technical POV pieces
- Source material and editorial for major product launches - working directly with engineering to shape the narrative
- A technical publishing rhythm the engineering team is proud to share and candidates cite in interviews
Who You AreYou've interviewed technical people and turned what they said into writing people actually read. You understand agents, LLMs, and production systems well enough to ask the second and third question - not just the softball. You can hold your own with senior engineers because you translate across, not down. You write with a point of view, not just a style guide. You ship on cadence without sacrificing craft.
Where You Might Come FromTechnical PMM, ex-DevRel, engineers who pivoted to writing, tech journalists who went in-house, serious AI/agents Substack writers. We don't care about your title. We care about your writing.
