Lead Technical Writer

Job Description

Job Description

Career Renew is recruiting for one of its clients a Lead Technical Writer - this is an onsite position in San Francisco or remote in US for exceptional candidates. Salary range: 150-200K plus benefits plus equity.

We are building industry-specific business banking infrastructure — we power over $10B a year in purchases and are one of the fastest growing fintechs in the world.

Fresh $100M Series C at a $1.4B valuation backed by Ribbit Capital, Khosla Ventures, NEA, and Y Combinator. Over $300M in annual revenue with a team of just ~65 people — insane efficiency and growth.

 

We are looking for a Lead Technical Writer with 3-5 years of experience to be the voice of our engineering team — turning the hard, interesting things our team ships into writing that engineers actually want to read. You'll be embedded directly within our engineering team (reporting to our CTO), working closely with engineers to understand what they're building and crafting compelling blog posts, technical deep dives, and social content. We've reached unicorn status ($100M Series C, $1.4B valuation) with just ~65 people and 12 full-time engineers — but almost nobody knows how incredible our engineering team is yet. You'll change that.

What will you be doing?

• Own our engineering blog end-to-end — sitting with engineers, understanding what they shipped, and publishing posts that do it justice
• Pump out high-volume technical content (targeting ~10 posts/month initially) covering everything from crypto infrastructure to agentic payments to fun side projects engineers build
• Write and manage engineering-focused social media content on X/Twitter and LinkedIn to build our engineering brand and attract top talent
• Embed with the eng team daily — proactively hunting down stories worth telling rather than waiting to be handed them
• Translate engineers' rough ideas and scratch notes into polished, compelling pieces written in their voice — like a young, Gen Z-native tone that resonates with the team
