Senior Technical Content Writer
RemoteUnited States
Job Summary
Research, outline, draft, and revise comprehensive guides on Databricks and Snowflake cost management topics, including compute optimization and Unity Catalog economics. Produce technical blog posts at a pace of two or more per month, writing from observed patterns rather than marketing assertions. Develop research outlines, speaker scripts, and slide frameworks for live and on-demand webinars while collaborating with technical presenters to ensure accuracy. Extend coverage to Snowflake and BigQuery as the program grows, mapping transferable concepts without flattening technical distinctions. Work independently on workstreams alongside subject-matter experts to deliver practitioner-ready content.
Required Qualifications
- 5 to 8 years of technical content experience
- 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
- 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
- structure, pacing, and making dense material readable without dumbing it down
- Comfort operating at senior level
- drive workstreams, set your own research agenda, and flag accuracy issues proactively
- Strong editorial judgment
- know when a draft needs another pass and when it's ready
- ideally based in the United States
- overlap with US business hours (ET–PT)
- can accommodate United States working hours
Desired Qualifications
- 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
