Senior Content Engineer

Lingo.dev is looking for a Senior Content Engineer who can combine technical storytelling, content marketing, and AI-driven automation to grow the company's presence across developer communities and search platforms.

This isn't a traditional content writing position focused solely on producing blog posts. The role involves building a complete content operation, covering research, technical writing, search optimization, publishing automation, distribution, and performance measurement.

The successful candidate will work closely with founders and engineers, turning technical developments, product updates, and original research into content that attracts developers and contributes to business growth.

The Senior Content Engineer will take ownership of content projects from the initial idea through publication and performance evaluation.

• Produce detailed technical articles, developer tutorials, research reports, newsletters, product announcements, and educational resources.
• Interview engineers, founders, and customers to develop original content supported by practical experience and technical evidence.
• Explain subjects such as artificial intelligence, retrieval-augmented generation, localization systems, and developer workflows in clear, technically accurate language.
• Identify relevant technical discussions, emerging trends, and research opportunities that can support the company's content strategy.

• Build a consistent publishing presence across the company blog, LinkedIn, Reddit, Hacker News, Dev.to, and email newsletters.
• Adapt technical content for different audiences and platforms without sacrificing accuracy or editorial quality.
• Develop SEO and Generative Engine Optimization strategies to improve visibility across traditional search engines and AI-powered discovery tools.
• Track the impact of published content through keyword rankings, backlinks, traffic, AI citations, and customer signups.

• Use AI tools, including Claude, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork, to support research, content development, editing, and publishing operations.
• Create scripts, templates, and automated workflows that reduce repetitive production tasks.
• Improve the speed and consistency of content publishing through AI-assisted coding and workflow optimization.
• Monitor organic marketing results and support paid acquisition campaigns, including Google Ads, where required.

Lingo.dev needs someone who understands both technical subjects and the mechanics of digital content distribution.

Strong writing skills are essential, but the position also requires technical confidence and an ability to work independently.

Candidates should bring:

• A strong portfolio of published technical writing, particularly content covering software development, artificial intelligence, or developer tools.
• Experience producing research-backed articles, tutorials, technical explainers, or newsletters for knowledgeable audiences.
• Practical knowledge of SEO, content analytics, keyword research, and AI search visibility.
• Hands-on experience with tools such as Claude, Ahrefs, Semrush, and Google Search Console.
• Familiarity with scripting, AI-assisted coding, or content automation systems.
• The ability to interview technical specialists and turn detailed conversations into useful, original content.
• Experience promoting content through developer communities, professional networks, and search platforms.
• Strong project ownership, editorial judgment, and the ability to manage work without detailed instructions.

Candidates who have built a recognized technical newsletter, published widely shared developer articles, or developed successful content programs for technical products may be particularly well suited to the role.

Experience in developer-focused SaaS marketing, original research publishing, technical video production, or creating demonstration projects would also be valuable.

The company is looking for evidence of actual results. A portfolio showing audience growth, strong search performance, industry engagement, or measurable customer acquisition will be more useful than a collection of articles without performance context.

Lingo.dev develops AI-powered localization technology that helps software teams manage multilingual content. The company operates in the developer tools space and is backed by Y Combinator.

The Senior Content Engineer will work in a small team where content is closely connected to product development, engineering research, and marketing performance.

The position provides substantial independence, direct collaboration with technical leadership, and the opportunity to influence how the company communicates with developers.

The job listing does not specify a salary range. However, Lingo.dev highlights several benefits associated with the position:

• Remote working arrangements with flexible hours.
• Health insurance benefits.
• A professional development budget for conferences and learning opportunities.
• Access to AI tools, including Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
• Opportunities to collaborate directly with founders and engineers.
• Occasional team travel and in-person meetings.

Applicants can expect a selection process designed to assess both technical understanding and practical content production skills.

• Participate in an initial discussion to evaluate relevant experience, technical knowledge, and suitability for the role.

• Complete a practical assignment designed to assess technical content development and execution skills.

• Discuss previous work, technical research methods, content strategies, and experience using AI-powered tools.

• Candidates who successfully complete the selection stages may receive an employment offer.
• The offer is followed by a four-week paid probationary period.

Applicants should be prepared to discuss previously published work, explain how they approach technical research, and demonstrate experience using AI tools and content performance data.
