## About the role

Write the things developers actually read — technical deep dives, postmortems, and docs-as-marketing about what breaks in production agents and how to see it. Not thought leadership; specific, useful writing with real traces and real code in it. Run the launches — Hacker News, Product Hunt, Reddit, and X. You'll write the post, prepare the assets, be in the comments answering people all day, and do the follow-through that turns a spike into retained users.

## What they're looking for

- You write, and people read it: a blog, a newsletter, a thread that went somewhere, docs, a README people thanked you for. Any of it counts. Send it
- Technically curious enough to be credible: you can install TraceRoot yourself with Claude Code, read a stack trace, and explain what happened without a hand-holder. You do not need to write production code for this role
- You have taste in developer content: you know why a post lands on Hacker News and why marketing copy gets torn apart there, because you read those threads for fun
- Fast and prolific: you'd rather ship six pieces and learn which two worked than polish one for a month
- Strong sense of ownership and bias for action: you own outcomes, not tasks, and you make things happen without waiting for a roadmap or a content calendar
- You've done this unpaid already: grown an open-source project, run a technical blog or newsletter, or written docs for something people use
