Senior Technical Content Writer

Responsibilities

Ebooks and Long-Form Guides

Research, outline, draft, and revise comprehensive guides on Databricks and Snowflake cost management topics (compute optimization, job cluster configuration, Unity Catalog economics, photon efficiency, and similar)
Structure complex technical material for practitioners who have no patience for surface-level coverage
Own the full revision cycle: incorporate feedback from internal SMEs and external technical reviewers

Blog Posts

Produce technical blog posts on Databricks and Snowflake cost and query optimization topics at a pace of 2 or more per month
Write from observed patterns and specific data rather than marketing assertions
Adapt posts from longer-form assets or develop standalone pieces tied to product releases, platform updates, or practitioner pain points

Webinar Scripts and Slide Support

Develop research outlines, speaker scripts, and slide frameworks for live and on-demand webinars
Collaborate with technical presenters (internal engineers and external practitioners) to shape structure without overwriting their voice
Ensure accuracy and depth: webinar content goes in front of the same practitioners the written content targets

Cross-Platform Coverage (Unicorn Scope)

Extend coverage to Snowflake and BigQuery as the content program grows
Map transferable concepts across platforms without over-generalizing or flattening the technical distinctions that practitioners care about

Qualifications

Required

5 to 8 years of technical content experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates depth in data engineering, cloud infrastructure, or adjacent fields
Demonstrated ability to write for Databricks and Snowflake practitioners: data engineers, analytics engineers, platform engineers, or FinOps specialists
Hands-on familiarity with Databricks and Snowflake: you understand the platform well enough to write about cluster configuration, job compute, and cost levers without relying solely on documentation
Ebook and long-form guide experience: not just word count, but structure, pacing, and making dense material readable without dumbing it down
Comfort operating at senior level: you drive workstreams, set your own research agenda, and flag accuracy issues proactively
Strong editorial judgment: you know when a draft needs another pass and when it's ready

Strong Preference

Direct experience writing about BigQuery, or other cloud data warehouse and lakehouse platforms
Familiarity with FinOps concepts applied to data infrastructure (cloud cost allocation, showback/chargeback, spend optimization)
Experience writing webinar scripts or technical presentation materials, not just post-event recaps
Background as a practitioner who moved into technical writing, rather than a generalist writer who learned the terminology
