Position Requirements

• Experience: 3–5 years of professional writing or content marketing experience. A background in journalism, reporting, or professional blogging is highly preferred.
• Writing Excellence: You are a fast, versatile writer. You can take a 30-minute interview with a developer and turn it into a provocative, SEO/LLM-optimized blog post by the end of the day.
• AI Native: You are already using LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to brainstorm, outline, and draft. You see AI as a tool to make you faster and more effective.
• Technical Curiosity: You may not be a database administrator, but you aren't afraid of technical topics. You are eager to learn the nuances of SQL and the database market.

Desired Skills & Experience

• Interpersonal Skills: You are comfortable "interviewing" stakeholders to extract great stories.
• Organizational Pro: You love a good Kanban board or spreadsheet. You keep projects on track and stakeholders informed.
• Competitive Drive: You want to win the "search war" against our competitors and enjoy seeing MariaDB climb the rankings.
