The position of Senior Content Engineer at Lingo.dev centers on owning the entire lifecycle of content production and distribution, demanding a blend of technical writing, marketing strategy, and automation expertise. Lingo.dev operates as a localization engineering platform that utilizes large language models, native speakers, and engineering research to measure translation quality. The role requires the individual to take ownership of creating, publishing, and automating the content that positions the company, targeting both technical and non-technical audiences.

This role involves managing the creation of a broad spectrum of content, including blog posts, research articles based on engineering discoveries, essays, changelogs, product update emails, newsletters, and external publications across platforms like LinkedIn, dev.to, Hacker News, and Reddit. A core responsibility is synthesizing information gathered from founders, engineers, and customers into compelling narratives while adhering to Lingo.dev’s brand positioning. The mandate is to ensure that all written material is published promptly, with the volume scaling through automated workflows, such as using Claude workflows and templated distribution.

The responsibilities extend to dominating organic and paid visibility through Search Engine Optimization, geographic targeting, and artificial intelligence visibility. The engineer must rigorously track performance metrics to assess what content achieves traction, results in citations, rankings, or backlinks, utilizing tools like Ahrefs, Search Console, and advertising accounts to report on this data.

The required skills are highly specific, focusing on clarity, factual accuracy, and demonstrable impact. The writer must prioritize plain language, eliminate superfluous superlatives, and base all claims on verifiable facts. A prerequisite is having a portfolio that demonstrates prior success, such as a newsletter with real subscribers or posts achieving front-page visibility. Furthermore, the candidate must possess the technical aptitude to automate their own workflow through coding, scripting, and AI-assisted development.

The role demands sophisticated communication skills, involving the ability to interview experts to capture authentic opinions and translate complex technical concepts, such as how a retrieval-augmented system functions, into clear explanations for both technical engineers and general readers. Proficiency with large language models, such as Claude, is central to the production method, requiring an understanding of prompting techniques, output quality control, and the strategic deployment of AI for high-volume content creation. Success also hinges on understanding the algorithms governing platforms like Hacker News and LinkedIn, and how to leverage them, alongside AI systems, to achieve desired citation and ranking outcomes.

Optional but beneficial skills include experience marketing to skeptical audiences, producing research or essays that significantly alter a field's perspective, or creating multimedia content using AI tools. The benefits package supports this work by providing access to original engineering research, providing organizational resources like Claude Code and Cowork for high-volume production, and offering flexible working hours and a robust health insurance plan. The employment environment is characterized by close collaboration with the founders and a commitment to a streamlined process that includes a trial project and a performance probation period.
