About Faros

Faros gives engineering leaders the visibility and control to maximize AI engineering outcomes, while managing costs and keeping every team within policy. Some of the most sophisticated engineering teams in the world, ranging from fast-growing technology companies to F500 enterprises, use Faros to see what their AI investment actually ships, diagnose what's holding it back, and tune it continuously. We are defining how enterprises operate AI engineering, and the story is being written in real time.

About the Role

Faros helps engineering leaders see and improve how software actually gets built. Our buyers are VPs of Engineering and CTOs, and they read the way engineers read: they trust data, primary work, and people who clearly know the field. You'll be the technical voice of Faros in the market. That means owning the content that creates demand for us: original research built on our engineering data, and editorial work that shapes how the market thinks about AI-native engineering. Our AI Engineering report is the proof point and your starting asset. You'll build it into a collection of data-driven reports the industry cites, and back it with field guides, frameworks, and points of view the market doesn't have words for yet. This is a content-first DevRel role. The job is educating the industry on how to use AI engineering effectively, and generating awareness for Faros by doing it well. There's no community to manage, no support queue, no docs backlog. Just research, writing, and being credible in front of a technical audience. Search-driven content is owned separately.

What you'll do

  • Own the research content program: concept, methodology, analysis, and publication of reports built on Faros engineering data

  • Partner with our data and engineering teams to interrogate the dataset, find the cuts worth publishing, and kill the ones that mislead

  • Build the editorial content that shapes the category: field guides, frameworks, and opinions engineering leaders repeat in their own words

  • Represent the research in market: webinars, podcasts, conference talks, and analyst conversations

  • Atomize each report cycle into derivative assets the demand gen and sales teams can run with

  • Measure what your content does: what gets cited, what converts to intent, and feed that back into what you make next

What we're looking for

  • You've shipped developer-facing research with your name on it: a State of X report, an ecosystem survey, a benchmark study

  • You're fluent enough in data to be a real partner to engineers: you can interrogate a dataset, spot the finding worth leading with, and know when a cut of the numbers is misleading

  • You write for engineers the way the best developer-facing companies do. We hold a high bar on register and will test for it

  • You're comfortable being the face of the work: on stage, on a podcast, in a room with a skeptical CTO

  • You'd rather publish one thing people cite than ten things people skim

Nice to Have

  • Background in software engineering or data analysis

  • Familiarity with the engineering leadership space: DORA, developer productivity, AI-assisted development

  • Experience producing or scripting short video for technical audiences

How we'll evaluate

Portfolio first. Then a paid exercise using real Faros data.
