About the role
- Technical research & point of view: Develop informed perspectives on AI-driven SDLC, agentic software delivery, developer productivity, quality, security, and modern engineering practices; support claims with credible evidence and sources.
- Long-form technical content: Write whitepapers, research-led reports, deep-dive blogs, thought-leadership articles, executive bylines, and customer or use-case narratives for technically sophisticated audiences.
- Video scripting: Develop scripts and narrative structures for YouTube explainers, product and workflow videos, interviews, webinars, Shorts, and social video — including hooks, scene flow, and on-screen cues.
- Product immersion: Learn Revolte hands-on, understand its workflows and architecture, read technical specifications and documentation, and validate how the product works before writing about it.
- SME collaboration: Interview founders, engineers, product leaders, and customer-facing teams; arrive prepared, extract the real insight, challenge ambiguity, and turn expert knowledge into clear, accurate narratives.
- Occasional product documentation: Contribute to tutorials, quickstarts, release notes, developer guides, and related documentation when needed, while keeping market-facing technical content as the primary focus.
- End-to-end content execution: Take an approved brief from research and outline through drafting, sourcing, fact-checking, feedback, revision, and final copy; work with marketing to learn from performance and improve future content.
- Relevant experience: 4–8 years of total experience across technical writing, technical content, software engineering, developer marketing, or a closely related role. Your background can vary; proven technical depth and writing quality cannot.
- Portfolio required: A strong body of original work for technical audiences, including at least one substantial long-form piece. Whitepapers, technical blogs, thought leadership, social content, or video scripts are all relevant.
- Genuine technical fluency: A practical understanding of software engineering and the modern SDLC — including Git/GitHub, APIs, CI/CD, cloud, containers, testing, security, and developer workflows — with the ability to learn an agentic AI platform quickly.
- Technical comprehension: Comfort reading product specifications, architecture material, API documentation, code samples, and GitHub repositories, and using technical products to verify what you write.
- Research rigor: Strong source judgment, fact-checking discipline, and the ability to distinguish evidence from assumption, marketing language, or AI-generated filler.
- Creative editorial judgment: You can find the sharp angle, build a compelling narrative, simplify complexity without making it shallow, and adapt one idea intelligently across long-form, social, and video formats.
- Self-directed execution: You can begin contributing quickly, manage multiple workstreams, ask precise questions, and deliver publication-ready work without requiring detailed writing instruction.
- AI fluency: You use AI tools thoughtfully to accelerate research and production while personally owning accuracy, originality, voice, and final quality.
- Communication & location: Excellent written and spoken English; based in Chennai or willing to relocate and work on-site.
- Experience at a developer-tools, cloud, DevOps, cybersecurity, data, enterprise software, or AI company.
- A prior software engineering background, or experience working closely with engineering and product teams.
- Published whitepapers, research reports, executive bylines, or recognized technical thought leadership.
- Experience scripting technical videos, demos, webinars, podcasts, or interview-led content.
- Familiarity with Markdown, Git-based or docs-as-code workflows, and basic code-sample validation.
- Understanding of how technical content is discovered through search, AI assistants, and developer communities.
