Excellent content creation skills across multiple mediums, with specific expertise in one medium.
Based near our office in San Francisco or New York and able to attend frequent weeknight events

BENEFITS:

A unique opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing startup in one of the most exciting engineering fields of our era
An inclusive and supportive work culture that fosters learning and growth
