Content Engineer (m/f/d)

Hybrid (Karlsruhe) • Student Job • 15-20 Euro/Hour • Our First Hire!

About sliplane.io

Sliplane.io is a fully managed Container-as-a-Service platform that makes hosting Docker containers ridiculously simple. We're the European alternative to Heroku, Fly.io, and Render - with better pricing and unlimited services for a flat rate. We’re looking for a content engineer / technical writer eager to learn about content marketing in a small and fast growing startup.

What You'll Do

  • Research and try out hot new open source software and get it running on Sliplane
  • Write tutorials about it: How to deploy everything from Next.js apps to self-hosted analytics
  • Create demos and example projects with real code people can fork and deploy in 60 seconds
  • Get familiar with the hosting landscape and create comparison guides (e.g. Sliplane vs. AWS), migration guides, setup walkthroughs

What We're Looking For

  • You write clearly in English (doesn't need to be native-level, just solid)
  • You're comfortable with Docker and have some DevOps experience
  • You can pick up new tech stacks quickly
  • You're thinking about starting your own company someday and want to learn the fundamentals of content marketing
  • You can work autonomously and are curious and persistent by nature
  • Bonus: You've written technical content before (blog posts, docs, tutorials, whatever)

What We Offer

  • Student position, max. 20 hours per week
  • Compensation: 15-20 Euro/Hour with potential for increase
  • Location: Hybrid in Karlsruhe, 1 day/month in person in Jonas’ co-working space, rest is remote/wherever
  • Working hours: ~2 days per week with flexible hours. We care more about output than face time, the faster you are, the higher your hourly compensation!
  • Potential to grow: If it goes well, there's room for more responsibility and higher compensation
  • Look behind the curtains of an early stage growing startup, you'll work directly with us (Lukas and Jonas, the founders) and learn the fundamentals of content marketing
  • Learn how to explain technical concepts, understand cloud infrastructure, build a portfolio of technical writing

How to Apply

Interested? Send an email to jonas at sliplane.io (jonas@sliplane.io) with:

  • A bit about yourself including education, experience, and interests
  • Something you've written or built (blog post, GitHub repo, tutorial, anything that shows us you can communicate technical stuff)
  • What would be the first blog post you'd want to write and why?

Note: No need to send a formal cover letter or CV. We read everything personally; no need to stuff keywords.
