Technical Growth Content Specialist

Tailscale

1d • $95,000 - $119,000 • Remote

About The Position

We're looking for a Technical Growth Content Specialist to create educational content that helps enterprise buyers and technical practitioners discover, evaluate, and adopt Tailscale. This role sits at the intersection of technical writing, content marketing, developer education, and product storytelling. Working closely with the AI & Organic Search Manager, you'll transform customer questions, product launches, search insights, and emerging industry trends into technically accurate content that performs across traditional search engines and AI-powered discovery platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews), and the social channels where technical audiences discover tools today. Success isn't measured by how much content you publish, it's measured by the quality, usefulness, and business impact of the content you create. You'll build with the product, collaborate with technical subject matter experts, and create tutorials, implementation guides, comparison pages, demos, and educational resources that earn trust with enterprise audiences and support Tailscale's growth. We’re looking for someone who has made a significant impact on metrics as a content writer. This is a growth-centered position that will be accountable for specific metrics each quarter.
