In order to reach a larger audience, we need a technical content writer. This position is a part of our overall Technical Writing bench and focuses on writing for both highly technical and non-technical audiences while supporting growth goals. All candidates, regardless of their histories or identities, are encouraged to apply. Since we employ people all over the world, We fully support remote workers.
Write great, high-value content that helps technical audiences discover Metabase. Some examples to give you a feel for what we want to do more of: Your chart has too many series, Why Metabase Cloud, A PM's guide to getting started with Metabase
Partner with analysts to tell interesting stories with data. Some examples: Bus factor of top GitHub projects, Exploring trends in data jobs postings
Get your content out there by contributing copy and strategy to promote your work on channels. Even more examples: How Metabase Metabases, How to use filters
Brainstorm new types of content to experiment with. New topics, formats, medias, and channels are all areas we'd like to explore.
Keep an eye on what's working performance-wise to make decisions about what to work on next.
You love making high-value things that help attract new users. We don't live and die by performance marketing metrics, but generally you need to be excited about building an engine that unlocks Metabase for more of the world.
Experimenting with new things gives you energy, and you're excited by the idea of exploring or trying something fresh most weeks.
You worry more about the big picture than the details. Typos aren't great, but they're easy to fix.
You structure your workdays effectively. You'll get plenty of feedback and support, but you'll be expected to take assignments from start to finish.
Can point us to samples that represent your best writing.
You're familiar enough with SQL to include sample queries in content, and can troubleshoot a sample query (it'll be on the interview)
You know Markdown, and are familiar with simple HTML, and CSS
You've worked with a static site generator and Git and Github before.
Skills you don't need: design, video editing, programming, sous-vide cooking
We're a global team (50% outside the US), fully distributed (from Thailand to California), who get things done asynchronously, with plenty of uninterrupted time, supporting each other to do the best work of our careers. We offer flexibility (define your own schedule and work from wherever you want), autonomy, and an environment that fosters growth, learning, and development.
