Job Description

Manicule is hiring 2-3 freelance technical writers to write for some of SF’s fastest-growing developer-tool companies.

(remote from anywhere in the world)

Ideally, you have an engineering background in the topics you write about. If you’re covering databases, agents, infrastructure, or security, you should understand the product well enough to build with it and have a real opinion.

I’m especially looking for people who won’t write slop. The work should sound like it comes from someone who used the product, understood the problem, and has something useful to say.

You’ll interview founders and engineers, test products, and write technical articles developers actually want to read.

To apply, send exactly one link to the best article you’ve written and why you think it’s great. Choose the one that best shows your first-person voice, technical depth, and high bar for content (and especially doesn’t sound like slop).

No resume. No portfolio. Just one link.

To apply, please email me. naman [at] manicule.dev

Pay: $200 – $300/article (can negotiate)

Over time, happy to convert to full-time as well!

About Manicule

Manicule is trying to solve a problem most people have given up on: getting AI to write well.

Everyone can get a model to produce words, but it feels so empty. Almost no one can get it to produce writing with a point of view, a logically sound structure, and a unique tone.

We want to solve these problems at scale. That means turning the judgment of strong writers into something repeatable that an AI can actually run on. Part of the work is engineering: prompts, evals, the harness around them. Part of it is editorial taste. Most of the work is experimentation, because nobody has the answers yet, and the frontier moves every few weeks.

We also think the audience for writing is changing. More and more, what we produce is read by agents as much as by people, and we’re already working on catering to them.

We’re small, we hire rarely, and people stay. If the idea of teaching a machine to write the way you’d want to read excites you more than it worries you, we should talk.
