Technical Content Writer, Backend at BairesDev
At BairesDev®, we've been leading the way in technology projects for over 15 years, delivering cutting-edge solutions to giants like Google and innovative Silicon Valley startups. Our diverse 4,000+ team, composed of the world's Top 1% of tech talent, works remotely on roles that drive significant impact worldwide.
When you apply for this position, you're taking the first step in a process that goes beyond the ordinary. We aim to align your passions and skills with our vacancies, setting you on a path to exceptional career development and success.
We are seeking a part-time, contract Technical Content Writer focused on backend engineering topics for our blog. This role involves producing 1 to 2 long-form ghostwritten articles per month, targeted at senior technical audiences and optimized for SEO without sounding generic or promotional. You must be adept at researching complex backend concepts, validating claims, and translating engineering reality into clear, structured articles with practical examples. The scope broadly covers backend topics such as APIs, services, data stores, performance, reliability, security basics, and production operations.
What You'll Do:
- Write 2–3 backend-focused long-form blog articles per month, typically 1,500–2,500 words unless otherwise specified.
- Convert complex backend topics into practical, readable guidance with clear structure, examples, and trade-offs.
- Ensure technical correctness by validating terminology, architecture claims, performance/security statements, and gotchas.
- Incorporate SEO fundamentals naturally, including search intent alignment, headings, internal linking suggestions, and meta title/description suggestions if requested.
- Revise drafts based on editorial feedback while preserving accuracy and clarity.
What We Are Looking For:
- Proven experience writing long-form technical content for engineering audiences, specifically blog/editorial, not brand copy.
- Backend technical fluency demonstrated through hands-on engineering experience.
- Ability to independently research, sanity-check, and cite sources while avoiding unverified claims.
- Clear, direct, and advanced English proficiency suitable for a professional engineering blog.
Must-haves:
- Proven ability to write long-form backend engineering content for senior technical audiences. A portfolio is required.
- Demonstrated senior-level thinking: ability to explain trade-offs, constraints, and failure modes, not just definitions.
- Deep expertise in 2–3 backend domains such as API design, distributed systems, databases/data modeling, performance/reliability, observability, or messaging/queues.
- Ability to research efficiently and maintain technical accuracy with no unsupported claims or invented metrics.
Join a global team where your unique talents can truly thrive and make a significant impact! Apply now!
