Content Engineer

About the role

A new discipline that makes scale, governance, and speed possible without sacrificing craft. As a Content Engineer at Tenex, you’re the operator who runs the pipelines: writing, editing, and shipping the work that the system produces. The Director designs the system. You make it run.

Responsibilities

• Write and edit at the bar. Research reports, applied playbooks, education pieces, newsletters, sales enablement, thought leadership bylines.
• Run the production pipeline. Take briefs through to published pieces using the workflows the Director designs. Identify where the pipeline breaks, fix what you can, flag what you can’t. Treat every piece as a chance to improve the system.
• Build and maintain workflows. Prompt libraries, agent stacks, evaluators, repurposing pipelines. The Director sets the architecture. You build, test, and iterate on the parts you operate in day-to-day.
• Be customer zero on the AI stack. Test new tools the day they drop. Bring back what works. Kill what doesn’t. Your job description is partly to keep Tenex on the frontier. Source proprietary insight. Pair with Alex, founders, and operators in the Tenex network. Turn raw conversations and data into pieces nobody else could write.
• Hit a ship cadence. You’ll have weekly publishing targets across the pillars. Hitting them is the job. Hitting them at the bar is the bar.

Requirements

• 3 to 6 years writing for a B2B SaaS, media company, or premium publisher. You’ve produced long-form content people actually read.
• Bias to candidates who’ve owned pieces end-to-end, not just contributed paragraphs.
• Whipsmart writer. You can write a 1,500-word piece that holds. You can take a rough draft and make it 3x better in an hour. Your prose has a voice.
• Deeply AI-pilled. Actively using frontier tools day-to-day. You can name what shipped this month and why it matters. You’ve built workflows that materially changed your own output.
• Techically curious. You don’t need to be a software engineer, but you can write a prompt, build an agent, evaluate an output, and pair with engineers without translation overhead.
• Operator instincts. You ship on time. You hit a quality bar even on a tight deadline. You debug your own workflow. You don’t need someone else to tell you what to do next.
• Hungry to learn the function. You’re joining at a level where you’ll be coached by an experienced Director and given real ownership of pieces and pipelines. The right candidate sees this as the seat that puts them on a path to running their own content function in 2 to 3 years.
• Soul. The best content has a point of view, a voice, and a reason to exist beyond the funnel. You hold the line on quality even when a tighter deadline or bigger reach would tempt you to ship slop.

Qualifications

• The best Content Engineers can do three things at once: write at a high caliber, operate AI workflows the way a software engineer operates a build pipeline, and ship on cadence without dropping the bar. They obsess over the buyer, not vanity metrics. They take pride in the craft of the piece and the craft of the workflow that produced it. And they want to be the person who turns the strategy into the published work, week after week.

Skills

• Technical proficiency with AI tools and platforms.
• Strong writing and editing skills.
• Experience with content production and workflow management.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Attention to detail and quality control.
