Developer Content Engineer

Inngest powers durable execution for companies building AI in production—including Replit, Cohere, and Outtake. We're growing fast, our product is genuinely exciting, and we need someone to help developers find us, understand us, and fall a little bit in love with us.

We're hiring a Developer Content Marketer to bring our story to life. To make it tangible. To amplify all the reasons developers already love us. And, specifically, to create informative, engaging, and highly human content that devs actually want to read.

The remit is wide, because we want someone who thinks holistically: from market research and audience segmentation, all the way through ideation, execution, distribution, and measurement. You'll own the full arc, and report directly to the Head of Marketing.

This person will shape the first impression developers have of Inngest. They’ll help spark community conversations with genuinely interesting and helpful content. They’ll influence off-site stories in newsletters, videos, and press releases. They’ll accelerate onboarding with examples, cookbooks, and tutorials. They’ll inspire building—and hopefully tap into how genuinely rad it is to build with Inngest themselves.

And, they’ll have fun. We believe your joy is the best lever for building engaging content.

One important caveat: Inngest is a very technical product. Durable execution is still an evolving category, and we need someone tuned into the nuances of how our audience describes the problems they need help solving. “Language-Market Fit” is important. We’d love someone who can write from first-hand experience of orchestration, workflows, or other path-to-production developer tools—and make it feel approachable without being reductive.

Some examples of your day-to-day:

• Create short and long-form content that is engaging and educational, helping us strengthen our presence and authority in durable execution and AI.

• Design an interview series to raise awareness of Inngest's infrastructure expertise.

• Build independent research reports to highlight important conversations in our market.

• Shape product launch content strategy, from the bottom of the funnel (BoFu) to the top of the funnel (ToFu).

• Adopt a data-first approach to stay up to date with the latest trends and topics in our field, helping us shape our AEO and SEO content strategies effectively.

• Help shape and develop our content voice, style, and structure as the company grows.

• Partner with product marketing and engineers to understand our products and technology.

How this role is measured:

Quantitative? All the usual suspects…traffic, open rates, signups, activation, expansion. Of course, none of these will fall on this person alone. But we expect this person to come to the table with an ownership mindset, to work with the rest of the marketing team to drive real results.

Qualitative? We really just want to see more folks experience the joy of building with Inngest.
