This is a team of storytellers — a mix of trained journalists, video producers, and marketers. The content produced is tied to business objectives.The ideal candidate should have a diverse portfolio of content that showcases the ability to convey complicated and nuanced topics in clear, elegant prose for both experts (researchers, engineers, and developers) and non-expert audiences.
