About the Role
Pump.co is hiring its first X Content Writer (Onsite in SF, Monday-Friday) to take the lead on our brand voice across X, LinkedIn, and the platforms that matter most to founders, engineers, and operators.
This isn’t a generic social role. We’re looking for a prolific, sharp writer who lives online, understands how tech culture moves, and has built a strong personal presence. You’ll turn product updates, founder POVs, and startup ideas into highly shareable content — and help define how the world sees Pump.
This is a high-impact, creative, and strategic role reporting directly to the founders.
What You’ll Do
- Write and manage daily content for X and LinkedIn — from memes and threads to deep dives and narrative-style founder posts
- Own the social calendar and voice : plan, write, and post across channels with speed and clarity
- Work directly with founders to shape and amplify their voices — from product drops to founder takes
- Translate technical launches and updates into high-leverage, plain-English content
- Monitor trends in startups, infra, VC, and AI — and help Pump enter the conversation with insight and wit
- Engage in threads, join conversations, and react in real-time to relevant moments
- Track growth KPIs (impressions, shares, engagement, follower count) and double down on what works
- Write everything from X hooks to LinkedIn carousels to launch copy and “in-public” updates
