Growth Content Engineer

At Railway, we make it extremely simple for engineers to deploy logic without thinking about servers. Our goal is to make developers orders of magnitude more efficient by becoming the operating system for modern development.

Content marketing is an often misunderstood role, and we have shaped this particular role to be focused on AEO via a combination of writing and engineering. You should be knowledgeable about modern cloud infra, how to rank in both search and agents, and be an excellent writer.

This is a high impact, high agency role where you are given a high degree of autonomy to work with any function you desire while receiving any support from the team you need. As an early hire in this area, we expect you to wear a lot of hats while setting the strategy.

About the role

For this role, you will:

• Research and report on our current performance in search, agents, and LLM chat to inform where our content needs to be improved or added to.
• Engineer content across our owned assets to drive both conventional search (SEO) as well as agentic search (AEO).
• Build standalone app examples to clarify for both new users and LLMs what can be done on Railway and how Railway works.
• Make our documentation and blog into top-ranked assets, including writing guides and refining our site architecture.
• Own our technical site performance end-to-end, improving our searchability.

About you

• Strong and clear communication style, particularly in writing.
• Ability to analyze data in AEO tools (like Gauge) and user trends to impact what you write about, and measure the results of your work.
• An enthusiast about our product (Railway uses Railway to build Railway). You should be able to share insights with developers of all stripes to let them know how our product can help them.
• A great sense of direction and prioritization when it comes to dealing with the ambiguity of an early stage startup.
• Someone who is comfortable in a few different languages/stacks and can create educational content on how to deploy those projects on a public cloud (the status quo) or Railway.
• Able to take really technical concepts and make them as easy to understand as possible.
• We value and love to work with diverse persons from all backgrounds.

Things to know

• For better or worse, we're a startup; our team dynamics are different from companies of different sizes and stages.
• We're globally distributed and getting more so. Stuff is always happening somewhere.
• We don't expect you to be online all the time, but you'll need to be diligent about your boundaries. Your end of day will overlap with someone else's start.
• We're a small, high-ownership team that cares deeply about doing exceptional work. We're scaling quickly, which means we rely on leverage: systems over coordination, judgment over process. Expect ambiguity and a fast-moving environment.
• You'll own real outcomes. That means making decisions, not just executing, and owning the success, or failure, that comes with them.

Benefits and perks

Railway provides best in class benefits: great salary, full health benefits including dependents, strong equity grants, equipment stipend, and much more. Beyond compensation, the team values autonomy (very few meetings), a high-ownership culture, novel problems and solutions, and helping you grow.

Remote, anywhere. Full-time.
