Depot is growing rapidly and reinventing the software build space, so we are now looking for a technical content writer to help us tell that story and scale our educational content.
Depot has created a build performance and developer productivity platform unlike any other. We have redefined how teams build software locally and in CI by making speed a first-class feature.

This role is about helping developers understand that story. Through great content, clear documentation, and technical depth, you’ll show how Depot works and why it matters. As our first dedicated technical content hire, you'll have the opportunity to define how we communicate with developers at scale.
