About

• We're building the future of storytelling and video editing.
• We're a small team that moves fast and builds things we're proud of.
• We care obsessively about taste: in design, in product, in every word.
• We're solving these hard problems.
• We're backed by a Tier-1 global fund, YC, and founders of billion dollar companies.

We're hiring a Writer to express and evolve Cardboard's brand.

What you'll actually do

• Write. A lot. Captions for every social channel. Blogs. The newsletter. Lifecycle emails. Website copy that ranks in search and shows up in AI answers. Refine/write drafts for Linkedin, X (formerly Twitter), Substack, and Ads - think in hooks and CTAs. Product microcopy. Update announcements. Reports and case studies. If it has a sentence/word on it, it's yours.
• Create well researched thoughtful content and then scale it to post across all our socials channels.
• Work closely with founders, growth, and media team. Shape Cardboard's voice and carry that voice across social, email, web, product, and launches.
• Live inside customer calls, Slack, support tickets, social media comments and timelines. The phrases customers use and the questions they ask are your raw material.

Who you are

• You already write, on your own, without anyone asking. We'll look at what you've written before we look at your qualifications/resume.
• You have taste. You're terminally online. You know why one creator's caption works and another doesn't, and you can articulate it well.
• You think in outcomes and understand the funnel - acquire, activate, convert, and retain. Every piece of writing has a job/goal, and you grade yourself on whether the job got done.
• You are terminally online, and just understand the banter that goes online.
• You understand what works on each platform - X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit. You know the same idea needs to be written differently for each one.
• You are flexible and adaptable and hence ghostwrite well. You can adapt someone's voice and have it come out better than they would have written it.
• You're AI-native. Claude and other AI friends are your drafting partners, but you have a strong eye for an AI output - when it's good and when it's slop.
• We're building the tool we wished we had. You should also feel that.

What you get

• Competitive salary and founding team equity.
• Unlimited PTOs
• Unlimited tokens. Use whatever you want, as much as you want.
• A healthy budget for tools, and anything you need to do your best work.
• Creative control over every word the world reads about Cardboard.
• Founders who value the brand as a moat.
• Weekly team dinners, sport matches, and outings ✨
