The Writer

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. Drafts for LinkedIn, X, Substack, and ads. Product microcopy. Update announcements. Reports and case studies. If it has a sentence on it, it's yours.
• Create well-researched, thoughtful content and scale it across all our social channels.
• Work closely with founders, growth, and the 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 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, and you grade yourself on whether that job got done.
• You understand the banter that lives online.
• You understand what works on each platform: X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit. You know the same idea needs to be written differently for each one.
• You're flexible and adaptable, so you 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 AI output: when it's good and when it's slop.
• We're building the tool we wished we had. You should feel that too.

What you get

• Competitive salary and founding-team equity.
• Unlimited PTO.
• 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.
