Content Writer

Metaplane helps companies trust their data.

Our observability platform helps data teams (like Imperfect Foods, Reforge, Drift, Vendr, Appcues, and many more) continuously monitor their data pipelines so they know when things break, what went wrong, and how to fix it — before executives message them.

We’re a Boston-based, remote-friendly company founded by MIT and HubSpot alums. We’re backed by leading investors such as Y Combinator, Flybridge, and notable angel investors, including the founders of HubSpot, Okta, and Lookout.

The Role

We’re focused on building the best data observability platform on the market, but we recognize that bringing quality data to all companies requires more than just building a great product. We also need to spread awareness of how data observability can help data teams deliver quality data their stakeholders can trust.

As our first full-time, in-house Content Writer, you will be responsible for crafting a high volume of quality content.
