We have built the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. We're supported by great customers and investors, having raised over $100 million from Google Ventures, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, Y Combinator, and more.
Roboflow Labs is our applied research unit. We train open models like RF-DETR, build benchmarks like RF100-VL grounded in real enterprise use cases, and partner with frontier AI labs to develop training data that advances model capabilities.
As Senior Technical Writer, you’ll decide what Roboflow Labs should publish, write the pieces yourself, and own the editorial calendar. You’ll work directly with Jake Seaton, who leads Roboflow Labs, and with Labs researchers and engineers to find stories in new results, verify claims, and explain why the work matters to people training and evaluating AI models. This is a senior individual contributor role.
Write research stories and content, benchmark deep dives, and launch posts. Interview researchers, dig into the results, and turn what you learn into clear, compelling pieces for a technical audience.
Set the editorial agenda and get work published. Stay close to developments in AI training and evaluation so you can spot where Labs has something original to contribute. Decide what to publish, for whom, and when. Bring in Roboflow Marketing when its channels can help a piece reach the right audience.
Drive conference submissions. Own the research publication schedule for priority conferences such as NeurIPS and ICML. Work backward from abstract and paper deadlines, agree on milestones with researchers, and keep drafts and reviews moving through submission.
Write and publish research stories, benchmark deep dives, and launch posts. Work directly with Labs researchers and engineers to verify technical claims, explain why the results matter, and confirm what can be shared publicly.
You’ve personally written technical pieces that make complex work clear and give readers a reason to care. You can read a paper, ask an ML engineer or researcher a pointed question about an evaluation, and turn the answer into a story worth reading.
You’re fluent in AI training data, benchmarks, evaluations, and post-training. You can interpret experimental results, identify what the evidence supports, and explain why a result matters in the context of current work in the field.
You’ve owned a technical editorial calendar, research communications program, or launch from idea through publication. You set priorities independently and keep contributors and reviewers on track when deadlines compete.
You exercise sound judgment about what’s worth publishing, which claims to make, and what’s appropriate to share publicly.
You might come from technical writing, developer relations, product marketing, engineering, or research. Share two or three pieces you personally wrote and briefly describe what you owned from idea through publication.
