About the Role
We’re looking for a software developer who also loves creating content. This role is part developer, part storyteller: you’ll build real demos with Codegen and turn them into short-form video content that’s engaging, approachable, and fun. Think of it as the tech version of a science communicator — but instead of black holes, you’re explaining how developers actually get work done.
This is a contractor role with flexible hours.
What You’ll Do
Build real projects, features, or demos using Codegen — and explain them on video.
Create short-form video content (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn) highlighting workflows, explainers, and behind-the-scenes looks at developer life.
Ship features on Codegen using Codegen, and share what you're doing on our socials.
Run and manage our social channels part-time: posting, engaging, experimenting.
Translate complex technical ideas into approachable, trend-savvy content.
Collaborate with our team to showcase new features and real-world use cases.
Review and write technical blog posts.
What We’re Looking For
Strong programming background; you can independently build and demo projects.
Comfortable on camera with clear, engaging communication.
Understanding of what makes social content work: pacing, storytelling, trends.
Track record of creating content (technical YouTube, TikTok, blogs, livestreams, etc.).
Bonus: experience with dev tools, open source, or developer advocacy.
Why Join
Flexible, part-time/full-time contractor position.
Creative freedom and ownership: define how Codegen shows up online.
Combine software development with content creation in a unique role.
Competitive hourly or per-project pay; potential for a full-time offer based on performance and company needs.
