Work type: remote

Location: Remote (United States)

Salary: $118,000 – $148,000/yr

Type: Full-time

Summary

This role is designed for a highly technical writer who can navigate complex networking and security concepts with ease. While it is a mid-level marketing position, the "technical" requirement is high; you’ll need to be just as comfortable discussing Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure as you are writing a case study or a white paper. It is ideal for someone coming from a B2B SaaS background who enjoys translating engineering-heavy features into clear, benefit-driven value propositions. The compensation is quite competitive ($118k–$148k) for a mid-level role and comes with a "remote-first" culture that emphasizes asynchronous work. Standout perks include a $1,500 annual professional development budget, a $1,000 home office stipend, and an impressive 26-week parental leave policy. Tailscale is a high-growth, venture-backed startup, offering substantial equity potential and the chance to shape the voice of a developer-favorite brand. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Can explain the nuances of networking infrastructure or SaaS security without needing a technical translator. * Have a portfolio that includes "bottom-of-the-funnel" content like technical white papers and sales decks. * Thrive in "ambiguous" environments where you need to proactively collaborate across sales and product teams. * Are an expert in SEO/AEO and know how to optimize content for modern search and AI discovery.
