About Tailscale Tailscale is making safe connection effortless by delivering software that makes it easy to securely interconnect people and their devices, no matter where they are. From hobbyists to multinational corporations, teams of every size use Tailscale each day to protect their networks, share access to internal tools, and more. We're building a future for the Internet that's easy, sensible, and safe, like it used to be. Founded in 2019 and fully distributed, we're backed by Accel, CRV, Insight, Heavybit, and Uncork Capital. About the Role We're looking for a Technical Growth Content Specialist to create educational content that helps enterprise buyers and technical practitioners discover, evaluate, and adopt Tailscale. This role sits at the intersection of technical writing, content marketing, developer education, and product storytelling. Working closely with the AI & Organic Search Manager, you'll transform customer questions, product launches, search insights, and emerging industry trends into technically accurate content that performs across traditional search engines and AI-powered discovery platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews), and the social channels where technical audiences discover tools today. Success isn't measured by how much content you publish, it's measured by the quality, usefulness, and business impact of the content you create.

You'll build with the product, collaborate with technical subject matter experts, and create tutorials, implementation guides, comparison pages, demos, and educational resources that earn trust with enterprise audiences and support Tailscale's growth. We’re looking for someone who has made a significant impact on metrics as a content writer. This is a growth-centered position that will be accountable for specific metrics each quarter. Key Responsibilities - Create hyper-relevant content that drives measurable growth by turning search insights, customer questions, and real-time community signals into high-impact content. - Monitor conversations across Twitter, Hacker News, and Reddit, and turn emerging questions and trends into timely content, often same-week, sometimes same-day. - Partner with the AI & Organic Search Manager to turn discoverability opportunities into high-impact content. - Build hands-on experience with Tailscale to create credible, practical technical content. - Produce content at a high velocity while maintaining a high bar for technical accuracy and editorial quality. - Partner with Product Marketing, Product, Engineering, Developer Relations, Docs, and subject matter experts to ensure content is accurate and useful. - Refresh, expand, and optimize existing content based on performance insights and customer feedback. - Develop an AI-first content program that turns search, customer, product, and performance insights into high-quality content faster. - Support strategic initiatives with technical content that drives metrics like self-serve revenue and product adoption.
