Copytree seeks strong, engaging writers with a hands-on technical background to develop content for clients in domains including AI, devtools, data, and security.
Our ideal candidate is either:
- Someone with an engineering or product management background + CS degree, who may or may not have written professionally, but has a passion for writing and educating (maybe keeps a personal blog, was the go-to person for writing their team's communications, has been told they're a great writer, etc.)
- Or someone with a content/GTM background in tech who has done a lot of writing for developer audiences, so even though they may not have formal CS training, they have absorbed enough technical knowledge and intuition that they are very comfortable having conversations with engineers & PMs and translating that into content
Working with Copytree
- Fully remote & mostly async with occasional client meetings
- You'll be staffed on a client team & communicate with the client directly via Slack
- Typically 1-2 week lead time for a piece; sometimes faster timelines or deeper projects
- Peer editing & feedback from other technical writers on your team
- Human writing only: No AI allowed for drafting or outlining, only for research & minimal editing use cases
Compensation
- Paid monthly for hours worked in previous month
- We'll determine a rate based on your experience & interview performance, in the range of $90-$125/hour
- Non-writing time (meetings, research, etc.) is also paid
- 5-10 hours a week minimum availability required, more is great
