Senior Technical Content Writer
About the role
Location
Our Senior Technical Content Writer – Data Platforms will join our global Marketing team. This remote role is ideally based in the United States, with overlap with US business hours (ET–PT) to support collaboration with internal stakeholders and occasional external experts. Candidates outside these time zones are welcome, as long as they can accommodate United States working hours.
The Opportunity
We're building a technical content program to serve data engineers, analytics engineers, and other practitioners who work inside data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake) environments. The content targets people who already know and use the platforms. It has to earn their attention by being technically grounded, specific, and useful in practice.
This role owns a meaningful slice of that program. You'll produce ebooks, long-form guides, blog posts, and webinar materials that help practitioners understand and manage compute costs inside Databricks and Snowflake.
You'll work independently on some workstreams and alongside a small team of subject-matter experts and contracted technical writers and others. The expectation: you can run a piece from research to publish-ready draft with minimal hand-holding, and you can also integrate cleanly into a collaborative review process when the content requires practitioner depth you'll need to source.
What This Is Not
This role requires technical depth, not just technical curiosity. If your strongest work is in cloud vendor blog posts that stay at the 101 level, or in marketing copy that uses platform names without engaging with how the platforms actually work, this isn't the right fit.
It also requires independent output. You'll have access to SMEs and technical reviewers, but the first draft starts with you.
Responsibilities
Ebooks and Long-Form Guides
- Research, outline, draft, and revise comprehensive guides on Databricks and Snowflake cost management topics (compute optimization, job cluster configuration, Unity Catalog economics, photon efficiency, and similar)
- Structure complex technical material for practitioners who have no patience for surface-level coverage
- Own the full revision cycle: incorporate feedback from internal SMEs and external technical reviewers
Blog Posts
- Produce technical blog posts on Databricks and Snowflake cost and query optimization topics at a pace of 2 or more per month
- Write from observed patterns and specific data rather than marketing assertions
- Adapt posts from longer-form assets or develop standalone pieces tied to product releases, platform updates, or practitioner pain points
Webinar Scripts and Slide Support
- Develop research outlines, speaker scripts, and slide frameworks for live and on-demand webinars
- Collaborate with technical presenters (internal engineers and external practitioners)
