Technical Writer

Role Summary

Mode: full-time/part-time, remote, b2b

WHOM WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for a Technical Writer with a strong cybersecurity background to own how we explain our technology to the world. You'll turn deep, complex security and AI work into content that's credible to practitioners and compelling to a broader audience — the primary voice behind our technical writing, not a general marketing generalist.

Experience with

• Technical blog posts, whitepapers, and deep-dive explainers
• Company blog and website
• LinkedIn, X/Twitter
• AI-assisted writing and research tools

WHY CRACKEN?

• Real-world impact

Our technology is validated in high-stakes, real-world environments and grounded in hands-on internal research.

• Team with a mission

Ukrainian-heavy international team of PhDs, professors, and senior industry engineers, driven by intrinsic motivation and real-world adversity.

• Adaptive roles

We shape roles around exceptional talent — your ownership and drive will define your path.

• Perfect timing

Operating at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems, Cracken is uniquely positioned to build resilient security products.

Responsibilities

• Own technical content strategy and production end-to-end
• Write technical blog posts, deep-dive explainers, whitepapers, and product breakdowns based on security research and engineering work
• Translate complex security workflows and AI concepts into clear, accurate, credible writing for a technical audience
• Work directly with founders, researchers, and engineers to source material and validate accuracy
• Adapt long-form technical content into shorter pieces for LinkedIn, X/Twitter, and other channels
• Identify trends, research, and news hooks in cyber & AI worth writing about
• Support conference presence with technical write-ups and post-event content
• Track content performance and iterate based on what resonates with a technical audience

Requirements

MUST-HAVE EXPERIENCE

• 3+ years of experience in technical writing, content creation, or a related hybrid role
• Must have hands-on cybersecurity experience or background — a security practitioner's understanding of the space, not writing from the outside looking in
• Proven track record writing technical content — real published examples of deep-dive posts, explainers, or documentation, not just marketing copy
• Engineering background or hands-on coding experience — able to read code, understand technical architecture, and speak credibly to an engineering audience, not just paraphrase what engineers tell you
• Experience working with top-tier cybersecurity media (e.g. The Hacker News, Dark Reading, BleepingComputer, SecurityWeek, CyberScoop, Krebs on Security)
• Hands-on experience using AI tools for content and research workflows
• Excellent English writing skills, with the ability to write for both technical and general audiences
• Ability to organize a lightweight content pipeline, including calendar, sourcing, and timelines
• Proactive, ownership-driven mindset; comfortable operating in an early-stage startup

Benefits

• Ownership over a core product surface
• Direct collaboration with founders and senior engineers
• High autonomy and real influence on product direction
• Fully remote and flexible work setup
• Competitive compensation
