The Technical Content team is looking for a Technical Video Writer to create practitioner-focused videos that make complex technical concepts clear, engaging, and useful. You’ll develop scripts and narratives that show customers how to get more from our products across formats, including technical explainers, feature roundups, podcast-style conversations, and new video concepts.

What it asks for · 5

  • You have a talent for video storytelling, demonstrated through writing samples and a portfolio of past work.
  • You have hands-on video editing experience and proficiency with video editing software such as Premiere or Final Cut Pro, motion graphics tools such as AfterEffects, and AI tools to support video editing.
  • You are comfortable with taking initiative and managing multiple concurrent projects with limited supervision.
  • You have 2-5 years of experience writing scripts for a technology company or working as a technical journalist. Experience as a technical advocate or an engineer is a plus.
  • You have an understanding of how software is developed and run in production, including how teams monitor app performance and address security risks.

What the job covers

  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders—including video producers, product managers, product marketing managers, technical advocacy, and engineers—to create project briefs, outlines, storyboards, and scripts for original videos.
  • Write companion content, including YouTube descriptions, blog posts, and social content.
  • Use AI tools to accelerate outlining, research, and development workflows.
  • Identify relevant visual elements and record precise, high-quality screen captures of Datadog products and features.
  • Ensure content is technically accurate, reflects Datadog’s voice and tone, and clearly communicates customer value.
