About Buildkite
Buildkite is a leading Continuous Integration (CI) platform that powers some of the world's most prominent engineering teams, enabling them to deliver software to over 1 billion users daily.
Job Overview
We are seeking a talented Staff Content Engineer to create the technical evidence that supports our narrative: reference implementations, interactive demos, comprehensive guides, and reproducible artifacts that instill confidence in developers about Buildkite’s capabilities.
This role is vital because, in the developer tools landscape, trust is built through functional code and practical artifacts rather than mere claims. You will transform Buildkite’s strategic initiatives into tangible, developer-focused proof that enhances adoption, clarifies the benefits of using Buildkite, and provides Sales and Developer Relations teams with credible tools that withstand scrutiny.
We have set a high bar. We are looking for candidates who can deliver production-quality technical content with engineering rigor—versioned, tested, documented, and maintained—while remaining commercially aware of what effectively drives conversion.
What You’ll Do
Develop a developer-focused demand engine
- Lead campaign execution across key strategic pillars, from concept to asset planning, launching, and iterating.
- Create programs that cater to both developers and buyers; ensuring credibility at the top, clarity in the middle, and conversion at the bottom.
- Establish a consistent rhythm that aligns our Labs (Brand Systems + Developer Voice + Go-To-Market strategies).
Deliver actionable proof for developers
- Develop reference implementations that showcase Buildkite's capabilities and highlight what sets us apart.
- Construct hands-on, reproducible demo environments that enhance credibility during evaluations.
- Manage public artifacts as products: ensuring they are maintained, versioned, and documented.
Translate strategy into technical artifacts
- Convert our strategic pillars into a backlog of proof assets.
- Identify and fill proof gaps.
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to ensure that proof aligns with reality.
Minimize friction in adoption
- Create assets that correspond to various stages of the user journey.
- Develop practical accelerators to speed up the time-to-first-value.
Make proof easily distributable and reusable
- Package technical proof for seamless integration through Go-To-Market, Sales, and Support channels.
- Collaborate closely to ensure technical distribution remains robust and effective.
