Content Lead

Content Lead

The cloud is broken: It's wasteful, slow, awfully expensive, and burdened with legacy tech that wasn't built for today's workloads. At Unikraft we're building a generational, truly millisecond-native, extremely scalable cloud platform that provides exponentially higher efficiency. Are you bored with your current job? Want to push the boundaries of what's possible in the cloud to the absolute limit?

Our team consists of some of the best systems, performance, and security geeks out there, and is backed by top investors with category leaders as our customers. We believe a focused team of exceptional people, moving fast with conviction, can rebuild the cloud from first principles and make extreme efficiency (eg, millions of users on a few servers) available to everyone.

What you'll do and why it's career-defining

You will be our first dedicated content leader, responsible for building the voice of Unikraft and scaling our developer ecosystem. This is about strategy and execution. You will own the content, messaging, and storytelling that positions Unikraft as the category leader. You'll work closely with the CEO and GTM team to translate cutting-edge cloud technology into compelling narratives that build trust, establish expertise, and generate demand across all funnel stages.

This role demands a rare combination: Someone who can explain deeply technical infrastructure concepts in ways that make engineers excited while executives still understand the business value. A natural storyteller who can make complex problems feel tangible. As our first content hire, you'll have massive autonomy to build from scratch and significant growth potential as we scale.

What you'll own

• Content Strategy: Define and execute the full content roadmap spanning blogs, tutorials, case studies, whitepapers, videos, and social. Make content that strategically maps to all funnel stages from awareness to advocacy.

• Messaging & Positioning: Own the messaging architecture that shapes how the market understands Unikraft and positions us as the leading platform to deploy AI agents, Managed DBs, Headless Browsers, Sandboxing, etc.

• Developer Content: Build hands-on technical guides, demos, sample deployments, and walkthroughs that empower engineers to succeed with Unikraft.

• Thought Leadership: Collaborate with founders and engineers to publish original research, benchmarks, and perspectives that build trust with the developer community.

• SEO/AEO & Distribution: Optimize for discoverability and scale reach through organic channels, newsletters, and partner distribution.

• Quality & Brand: Establish editorial standards ensuring all content is technically accurate, clear, and unmistakably Unikraft.

What we're looking for

• Native (or equivalent) English Speaker: Exceptional written and verbal communication is non-negotiable. Your writing should be crisp, compelling, and human.

• Hands-On Technical Experience: You can read APIs, experiment with SDKs, write code, and turn a conversation with an engineer into developer-ready content.

• Proven Content/DevRel Track Record: Show don’t tell. We want to see technical blogs, documentation, videos, or community work that made a real impact.

• Storytelling Ability: Skilled at framing complex technical detail in ways that resonate with engineers, product managers, and executives alike. You make the complicated make sense.

• Developer Empathy: You know how developers think, what excites them, and how to earn their trust. Ideally, you've been one.

• Startup DNA: Self-directed, resourceful, and comfortable with ambiguity. There is no content or marketing team yet, you are the team.

• Ecosystem Network: Existing presence in the cloud-native, infrastructure, or open-source developer community. Could be on LinkedIn, X, Substack, etc.

• [BONUS] Complementary Skills: Experience with video scripting, webinars, developer livestreams, or public speaking.

Why you'll love this team

• World-class product: A category-defining technology that sparks genuine excitement with developers and prospects.

• Direct CEO access: Work closely with founders on messaging, positioning, and go-to-market strategy.

• Zero bureaucracy: Founder-led, product-obsessed, and deeply technical.

• Massive impact: Your content will directly shape developer adoption, investor perception, and market education.

• Growth trajectory: As the first content hire, you'll build the function and grow with it as we scale.

• Build your favorite work setup: A generous equipment budget to spend on anything you need to do your best work.

• Fully Remote, Fully Flexible: Work from your favorite place, work at your favorite and most productive times.

• Retreats, Game Nights and More: Fun-focused team retreats and other events to recharge and build great relationships.

• The Standard Stuff: Competitive salary, equity, 6 weeks vacation, work with the best.
