United States onlyAbout Subquadratic
Subquadratic is an AI infrastructure and research company building a new class of LLMs on a proprietary post-transformer architecture. While the major labs focus on incremental transformer improvements, we're pushing foundational change at the model architecture level - enabling large-context, multimodal inference that scales efficiently where transformers can't.
About the Role
SubQ is building a next-generation LLM platform designed for efficient, long-context AI applications. We're looking for a Technical Copywriter who can take genuinely differentiated technology and make engineers understand why it matters - fast.
This isn't a documentation role. It's not a thought leadership role. It's the person who writes the launch blog post that makes an AI engineer stop scrolling, the benchmark deep-dive that gets cited on Hacker News, and the API guide that developers share in Slack because it's actually useful.
You'll own the technical content function from scratch - working directly with engineering, product, and GTM to produce content that drives developer adoption and earns credibility with a skeptical technical audience.
What You'll Own
Developer-facing technical content
- Launch blog posts and technical announcements written for engineers, not marketing audiences
- API quickstarts, integration guides, and tutorials that end with the developer having done something real
- SDK and API reference documentation that is accurate, complete, and fast to navigate
Benchmark and credibility content
- Launch benchmark reports with full methodology - structured to be cited by press and AI answer engines
- Technical comparison content written with absolute metrics, not relative claims
- Ongoing benchmark and evaluation content that keeps SubQ visible as the competitive landscape shifts
SEO, AEO, and GEO content
- Evergreen technical content optimized for search and AI answer engine citation
- Content strategy that treats engineers as the primary reader and rankings as a byproduct
- Structured content that surfaces correctly in LLM-generated answers - not just Google
What We're Looking For
- You've written technical content for a developer-first company. Your portfolio has pieces engineers have actually shared or cited.
- You understand AI infrastructure and LLMs at an engineering level. You can write about inference tradeoffs, context windows, and API design without being briefed on what those things mean.
- You write with conviction. Specific claims, sourced numbers, no hedging. Absolute metrics land harder than relative ones.
- You know the difference between writing for search, writing for AI citation, and writing for technical communities - and you've done all three.
- You're comfortable working directly with engineers. Technical accuracy isn't someone else's problem - it's yours.
- You have strong opinions about what good developer content looks like. Stripe's docs and the Cloudflare blog are useful reference points for the standard we're aiming for.
- You have experience writing benchmark methodology documentation or ML evaluation content
- You've built with LLM APIs in production - not just written about them
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary
- Performance-based bonus aligned with research and model milestones
- Equity participation
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
- Flexible paid time off
