Technical Content Creator

Distyl AI • San Francisco, CA

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

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.

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
• 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 Haves

• Bachelor's degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, Computer Science, or a related field is a plus
• Existing relationships with reporters and editors covering AI, enterprise tech, or business media

Responsibilities

• 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

Benefits

• The base salary range for this role is $100K – $150K, depending on experience, location, and level. In addition to base compensation, meaningful equity, along with a comprehensive benefits package
• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision for employees and dependents
• 401(k) with additional perks (e.g., commuter benefits, in‑office lunch)
• Access to state‑of‑the‑art models, generous usage of modern AI tools, and real‑world business problems
• Ownership of high‑impact projects across top enterprises
• A mission‑driven, fast-moving culture that prizes curiosity, pragmatism, and excellence
