ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a small, technical team at an early-stage AI company working on reinforcement learning infrastructure and post-training data. You will shape the company's storytelling, grow interest among technical audiences, and create events that build community and business momentum.

  • Write founder content that communicates product vision, technical insights, and platform progress.
  • Translate complex AI and product concepts into accurate, compelling stories for technical audiences.
  • Refine brand voice and experiment with content formats, using performance data to guide what you do next.

  • Experience in startup marketing, content, or community work, with a track record of growing social accounts or company brands.
  • A writing portfolio that shows you can understand technical products and explain them simply and accurately.

  • Strong familiarity with AI communities and the AI landscape, ideally including reinforcement learning researchers, engineers, or startup communities.
  • Background in AI/ML, developer tools, or other technical B2B platforms, rather than exclusively consumer marketing.
