We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week.

About the role
Applied Intuition is hiring a Content Editor to help explain complex, category-defining technology to the world. Applied Intuition is defining a new category in physical AI. The systems we build are complex, and how we explain them—clearly, accurately, and convincingly—matters.
This role is central to that effort. You’ll help shape how customers, partners, and the broader market understand what we build and why it matters. This is a hands-on role focused on writing and editing high-quality content across product launches, company narratives, and executive communications. You’ll work closely with product marketing, engineering, and leadership to turn technical systems into clear, structured, and compelling stories. The role sits within the Brand & Content team and reports to the Head of Brand and Communications. It is an individual contributor position for someone who can operate with speed, judgment, and precision—someone who can take a rough idea or set of inputs and turn it into a near-final draft with minimal direction.

At Applied Intuition, you will:
Write and ship content across key company moments

• Own drafting and editing for a range of external content, including:

  • Product and partnership announcements

  • Blog posts and technical narratives

  • Website and product copy

  • Event scripts and supporting materials

• Drive pieces from rough inputs to polished drafts quickly and independently

• Adapt tone and structure for different audiences, including engineers, OEM leaders, investors, and media

Translate complex systems into clear narratives

• Work with engineering and product teams to understand how systems actually work

• Identify what matters and structure it into clear, logical explanations

• Write in a way that is technically grounded but accessible

• Avoid marketing language—prioritize clarity, precision, and substance

Partner closely with product marketing and communications

• Collaborate with product marketing on launch narratives and positioning

• Support communications on press materials and messaging for announcements

• Align content with broader company priorities, timelines, and campaigns

• Ensure consistency with Applied Intuition’s core narratives across outputs

Edit and improve content across the team

• Provide clear, actionable edits on drafts from internal contributors

• Apply editorial standards for clarity, structure, and tone

• Help maintain a high bar across all written outputs

We're looking for someone who has:

• Produces clean, well-structured drafts that require minimal revision

• Quickly ramps on new technical domains and asks the right questions

• Can take ambiguous input and turn it into clear, publishable content

• Balances speed with accuracy and attention to detail

• Builds trust with cross-functional partners by consistently delivering

• 3–7 years of experience in content, editorial, or writing roles

• Strong writing and editing skills across formats

• Experience working with technical or complex subject matter

• Ability to structure ideas clearly and communicate them simply

• Comfortable working with engineers and senior stakeholders

• Highly organized and able to manage multiple workstreams at once
