[ABOUT ISTARI DIGITAL]
Istari is a digital engineering software company enabling our customers to turn the physical world into the digital to accomplish their specific mission or business objectives.

Istari was founded with the vision of making open, scalable digital engineering ecosystems a reality – where new technologies and systems are created digitally, free from the real-world constraints of costs and schedules. We are creating the world’s best engineering model sharing platform, allowing our customers to simply and securely integrate their models across different engineering disciplines, organizations, and security levels.

At Istari, we are passionate about our mission of creating the world's first open and scalable industrial metaverse. Whether our customers are designing prototypes, performing virtual testing, or training AI and autonomy for complex systems, we know that going digital will save them time, resources, and reduce their environmental impact.  

While we are a distributed team with most team-members working remotely, we place an emphasis on staying connected and collaborative, prioritizing in-person opportunities to build trust as a team. At Istari, we still believe that trust is best built in-person. To do this, we have an engineering headquarters in Cambridge, MA for focused technical development and several times per year we gather for an off-site that allows us to develop our professional skills and our team relationships.

[VALUES]
At Istari, we live by our values, which include:

- Focus is rewarded. Finish is remembered. 
- Facts are friendly. Even when they are not fun.
- Fellowship is fundamental. Make others successful.

Equal Opportunity
Istari is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, protected veteran status, or disability status.


We're looking for a Developer Relations & Content Engineer to be the creative and technical bridge between the Istari platform and the developers building on top of it.

This is primarily a content creation role — not a core engineering role. The right person is someone who loves building things and communicates about them exceptionally well. You'll produce high-quality documentation, engaging video tutorials, blog posts, and integration guides that help developers unlock the full power of the Istari platform through our Python client SDK and integration SDK.

You'll be working in greenfield territory. This is a rare opportunity to define the developer content strategy from the ground up — deciding what gets made, in what format, and to what standard.

Key Responsibilities

    Content Creation (Primary)

  • Produce professional-quality short-form video tutorials demonstrating real developer workflows — automation scripts, SDK usage, custom integrations, and job orchestration patterns

  • Write developer-focused blog posts, how-to guides, and design pattern documentation that go beyond "where to click" to explain how to achieve goals with the platform

  • Create and maintain SDK reference documentation, sample code, and integration walkthroughs

  • Define and select the right content format (video, doc, blog, live demo) for each concept or use case

    • Developer Community & Evangelism

  • Represent Istari at developer events, hackathons, and community forums

  • Build relationships with developers creating custom workflows and integrations using the Istari Python client and integration SDK

  • Interview customers and internal Customer Success teams to surface real-world use cases, pain points, and workflows worth documenting

    • Platform Understanding

  • Develop a working knowledge of how customers use the platform: uploading files, running jobs, automating workflows programmatically with Python, and building custom connectors via the integration SDK

  • Translate complex distributed platform concepts (agents, connectors, data pipelines, artifact derivation) into accessible, practical content for developer audiences

Required Qualifications

    Essential — Must Have:

  • A portfolio of developer-facing content you've produced: videos on YouTube/similar, technical blog posts, documentation, or tutorials. We will review your work. This is the most important requirement.

  • Professional video production skills — you know how to shoot, light, record audio, and edit video to a broadcast-quality standard. We can't train this; you need to own it.

  • Working Python proficiency, especially around SDKs, scripting, and automation. You don't need to be a software engineer — you need to be able to write, run, and explain Python code confidently.

  • Customer curiosity — a genuine drive to understand what developers are trying to accomplish, not just how the product works in isolation

  • Strong written communication skills; able to explain technical concepts clearly for a developer audience

    • Nice to Have (We Can Teach the Rest):

  • Experience with data platforms, integration platforms, or distributed systems

  • Familiarity with digital engineering concepts (CAD, CFD, simulation, model-based engineering)

  • Background in developer advocacy, technical writing, or developer marketing

  • Experience at or familiarity with companies serving developer communities (e.g., GitHub, developer tools startups, SDK-focused companies)

What Success Looks Like (first 3-6 months)

    This is a greenfield opportunity to define the developer content strategy from scratch, and have direct collaboration with the product and customer success teams to surface real customer needs.

  • In your first 90 days, you'll interview customers and CS teammates to map the most valuable developer workflows, and ship your first video and written content series.

  • Within six months, you'll have established a recognizable content cadence and a library of high-quality assets that developers actually use when building on the Istari platform.
