Technical Writer (Artificial Intelligence)

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

What the job involves

• Distyl AI is hiring a Technical Content Creator who writes with depth, moves fast, and uses AI as a force multiplier,
• You'll own our content engine from end to end: long-form technical writing that engineers respect, short-form video that makes top candidates stop scrolling, and a consistent brand voice that makes Distyl impossible to ignore,
• This isn't a support role,
• You'll have a seat at the table, a direct line to our engineering team, and the latitude to build something from scratch,
• 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
