Content Writer

About the role:

At HackerRank, content is how we shape the conversation around skills-first hiring, developer growth, and the future of technical talent. As a Content Writer, you will own the full journey from brief to published writing LinkedIn posts, Twitter threads, product narratives, scripts, and long-form pieces that are sharp, specific, and built for audiences who can tell good writing from filler.

What you’ll do

• Write across formats LinkedIn posts, Twitter/X threads, product narratives, video scripts, and long-form editorial moving from brief to polished draft without needing multiple alignment rounds.
• Use Claude Code, ChatGPT, or similar AI tools to accelerate first drafts, then edit aggressively for voice, specificity, and stakes.
• Build content as a system develop pillar topics, maintain narrative arcs across a content calendar, and design pieces for reuse across channels.
• Adapt tone and message for distinct B2B audiences CHROs, engineering leaders, recruiters, and developers without collapsing them into the same corporate voice.
• Attend events, offsites, and customer conversations as an active listener and input-gatherer, turning those signals into content that reflects real stakes.
• Collaborate directly with product, marketing, and sales teams to translate roadmap updates, customer insights, and campaign themes into compelling copy.

Who you are

• 2–5 years of content writing experience in a B2B SaaS, tech, or developer-tools environment, with a portfolio that shows range across formats.
• Strong instinct for audience segmentation and you write differently for a CHRO than for an engineering leader, and it shows.
• Proven ability to hold strategy and execution simultaneously: you can take a content brief and run with it, without four rounds of alignment.
• Comfortable with AI writing tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Notion AI) as part of your daily workflow and you use them to go faster, not to avoid thinking.
• Skilled at building content systems, not just one-off pieces you think about pillar topics, reuse, and narrative arcs across a calendar.

Even better if you have

• Experience writing for developer or HR tech audiences you understand what resonates with people who can smell a generic take from a mile away.
• Familiarity with SEO fundamentals and content distribution strategy, not just production.
• A background in or strong interest in the talent, hiring, or skills-development space.
• Experience building or contributing to a content calendar from scratch, not just executing against one.

You will thrive in this role if

• Being in the room matters to you. Customer calls, events and off-sites are inputs, not distractions.
• Content is infrastructure in your mind, not just output system, reuse and long-term narrative come before the first word.
• Fast iteration is your default shipping a draft that is 80% there beats waiting for perfection.
