head of content (hard skills for video needed)

what is wordware?

we're building the all-in-one platform for AI development.

here's what that actually means:

the core idea: if the assembly language for new reasoning units (LLMs) is English, let's put it front and centre and incorporate the best concepts from software engineering:

• conditional statements

• loops

• function calling functions (aka in fancy language multi-agent communication) — this is more difficult than it seems because of the needed type system (see below)

• type system (especially important for interacting with multimodal LLMs where one output might have to be transformed to be passed on forward to the next step of the flow which might incorporate an LLM which can only interact with specific modalities)

• easy linking with Tools (custom or prebuilt and ready to use: speech-to-text, image generation, ElevenLabs, research and many more

the ide: where the magic happens like notion met vscode and had a baby. build and test AI flows instantly, see results in real-time, iterate fast.

deployment: choose your flavor

• api mode:

  • plug your AI engine straight into your product

  • forget about prompt management hell

  • focus on features, not infrastructure

• workflow mode:

  • automate your work with triggers and actions

  • start small, scale to entire business processes

  • connect everything - it's an operating system for AI

• wordapps & repository:

  • deploy as public/private web apps

  • share your flows github-style

  • let others fork and build on your work

  • control what people see (from basic UI to full process)

p.s. pls don't use zero prompt ai, we get enough of these to know immediately 😂

head of content @ wordware

tl;dr we need someone who can turn complex ai concepts into compelling narratives. think johnny harris meets apple keynotes, but for developer tools. you'll be crafting the story of how ai development is becoming accessible to everyone, and making it look damn good while you're at it.

the actual challenge: we're democratizing ai development, but explaining this stuff is hard. really hard. we need someone who can make "multi-agent communication with type system enforcement" sound not just understandable, but exciting. someone who can show, not just tell, how wordware is changing the game.

the bigger picture: we're not just talking to traditional developers. we're reaching the next 500 million people who will be "coding" with plain english - lawyers, designers, product managers, founders, and domain experts of all kinds. our content needs to thread an impossible needle: deep enough for engineers, accessible enough for everyone else, and compelling enough to show both groups why this matters.

what you'll actually be doing:

• owning end-to-end educational video production:

  • directing and shooting high-quality video content

  • crafting motion graphics that explain complex concepts

  • editing compelling narratives (think johnny harris style)

  • building a video-first content strategy

  • managing post-production workflow

• creating our core content series:

  • weekly technical deep-dives

  • product launch videos

  • customer story features

  • educational content that doesn't suck

  • live demo productions

• building our flagship podcast:

  • producing a show both engineers and domain experts want

  • sourcing guests from tech and emerging ai builders

  • establishing production workflow

  • creating compelling audio content

• leading creative direction:

  • defining our visual language

  • creating motion design systems

  • establishing production standards

  • unifying our story across platforms

you should probably have:

• serious video production/editing chops (this is crucial)

• deep expertise in after effects & premiere

• strong motion graphics capabilities

• knack for making technical concepts visual

• comfort behind the camera and mic

your background might include:

• running your own YT channel

• video production at dev tools/tech companies

• documentary or educational video production

• experience at places like vox/verge/wired

• motion design for technical products

• technical education content

• podcast production

real talk:

• we're in sf, you need to be too - no remote for now

• you'll have big budget for equipment you need

• expect to both shoot and edit (especially early on)

• long hours in production and post

• you'll be building the creative team from scratch

• deadlines are tight - sometimes you'll need to turn around videos in hours

• you need to be technical enough to understand our product (we're not kidding)

• building a media brand takes time, but we're in it for the long haul

• pizza, beer, and crossbow competitions are part of the deal

• your stories will shape how the next generation thinks about building with ai

if you've ever:

• dreamed of making technical videos that don't put people to sleep

• found yourself explaining complex concepts through motion

• wished technical tutorials looked more like netflix docs

• wanted to define the visual language for a new category

...we should talk.

ps: we're backed by spark capital, felicis, and y combinator ($30m seed — biggest out of YC round) but we still work like a seed startup. and yes, the office will have a sauna and be 30m from the sea 🥵
