Technical Content Lead

About Faros

Faros gives engineering leaders the visibility and control to maximize AI engineering outcomes, while managing costs and keeping every team within policy. Some of the most sophisticated engineering teams in the world, ranging from fast-growing technology companies to F500 enterprises, use Faros to see what their AI investment actually ships, diagnose what's holding it back, and tune it continuously. We are defining how enterprises operate AI engineering, and the story is being written in real time.

About the Role

You'll own the content that creates demand for Faros: reports, guides, blogs, video, and the assets that fuel our campaigns. Research is the centerpiece: reports built on our engineering data that only Faros can publish. Our buyers are VPs of Engineering and CTOs, so everything you publish has to hold up to a technical audience. Our AI Engineering report set the standard for how we do this, and it's working. Your job is to scale it into a full program of reports and content assets. You'll report to the CMO and work as a peer to our product marketing and content leads. Search-driven content is owned separately. Your lane is the content only Faros can make.

Responsibilities

Own the strategy and roadmap for our content: what we publish, when, and how the portfolio compounds over time

Build a collection of data-driven reports, starting from our AI Engineering report, and own each one from concept and methodology through writing and launch

Partner with our engineering and data teams to find the stories in the data and land claims that survive a technical audience

Run the content calendar around each report: the findings, charts, and short-form pieces built to be cited by people and AI engines

Write the editorial pieces that give Faros a point of view: field guides, frameworks, and arguments the market doesn't have yet, gated where they fuel demand gen

Define how content attaches to pipeline, and own that scorecard with demand gen and marketing ops

Hold the line on how Faros writes about data: precise, quantified, engineer-to-engineer

What We Value

Quality over volume. You'd rather publish one report people cite for a year than twelve posts people skim. You notice the weak claim and cut it before anyone else sees it.

Ownership over process. If it has a number in it and the Faros name on it, you've checked the number. You don't wait for a brief to kill a finding that doesn't hold up.

Transformational over predictable. The data can support safe observations or claims nobody has made yet. You look for the second kind and do the work to earn them.

Intensity over comfort. Your findings go in front of buyers, press, and skeptical engineers who will check your math. You like that.

Living by our values over avoiding conflict. When the data says something inconvenient, you say it. You'd rather lose an argument than publish something soft.

Required Qualifications

6+ years in content, editorial, or research roles for a technical audience, with real ownership of what got published

You've shipped a research report or benchmark study with your name on it

Experience at early-stage startups where you were the marketing infrastructure. Self-sufficient, resourceful, and able to ship without a team behind you

You have fluency with data. You can interrogate a dataset with the people who built it, spot the finding worth leading with, and know when a cut of the numbers is misleading

Strong, fast writing in an engineer's register; writing samples required

You've owned a content program, not a queue: strategy, calendar, and the judgment about what not to publish

You can connect content to revenue: you've defined what success looks like and answered for it

Nice to Have

A background in software engineering, data analysis, or data journalism

Video skills, from scripting to producing short-form for technical audiences

Familiarity with the engineering leadership space: DORA, developer productivity, AI-assisted development

You use AI in your own research and writing workflow and have opinions about where it breaks
