About the role

Responsibilities
Edit security reports across application security, blockchain, cryptography, AI/ML, and research & engineering engagements.
Ensure technical accuracy, clarity, and adherence to Trail of Bits style standards.
Develop, edit, and publish posts on the Trail of Bits blog, the primary channel for our research and thought leadership.
Manage publication through GitHub pull requests and coordinate with internal and external reviewers.
Manage the team's report tracker and quality metrics systems, giving leadership visibility into editing throughput, revision cycles, and delivery timelines.
Build and refine Claude-based tools for content creation and editorial refinement, freeing the team to focus on higher-value work.
Shape editorial standards and style guide evolution.
Identify and produce marketing content proactively: blog posts, case studies, social threads, newsletter sections, and event collateral.
Own the content calendar in coordination with the Technical Marketing Manager and Lead Technical Editor. Ensure steady publishing cadence and cross-practice coverage. Make the editorial calls on what gets published when.
Create and publish social media content across X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Telegram. Drive community engagement and campaign execution.
Write and edit content for demand generation campaigns, email sequences, webinar materials, and conference activations.
Maintain and grow the newsletter pipeline with content curation, section drafts, and repurposed content.
Elevate the writing and communication of team members across GTM and engineering. Help engineers and sales leads produce clearer briefs, better talks, and shareable content.
Qualifications
Strong editorial skills. Grammar, mechanics, and style are second nature to you. You're comfortable working at every level of editing, from line-level edits to structural reorganization.
Content marketing awareness. You understand how content drives pipeline. You have worked on campaigns, managed content calendars, or produced marketing assets in a technical B2B environment.
Technical content experience. You have edited technical content for accuracy, clarity, and concision in cybersecurity or another technical field. You have experience partnering with subject matter experts to draw out and shape content. You can handle edits for a security report, a customer story, and a technical blog post in the same day.
Writing ability. You produce original content, not just polish other people's work. You write blog posts, case studies, and social threads for both deeply technical and business audiences.
Tool proficiency. You're comfortable in developer-adjacent workflows: GitHub, Hugo, and Slack. You have experience building or using automation to speed up editorial workflows.
AI fluency. You have hands-on experience with AI tools like Claude for content creation and refinement. Trail of Bits is an AI-native company with a suite of Claude-based tools that automate style enforcement and technical verification, and you will be expected to use, improve, and build on them as editorial needs evolve.
