About Wordware
Wordware is an IDE for building AI agents using natural language.
It looks and feels like Notion, but lets you design, test, and deploy AI systems in real time - without writing code.
Our mission is to bring structure and joy to human–AI collaboration.
We’re building a generational company that empowers the next billion knowledge workers to create with AI - not by writing code, but by expressing intent.
We’re backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator ($30M seed round - the largest in YC history).
We work hard, move fast, and don’t take ourselves too seriously. It’s intense, but it’s also fun - at Wordware, you’ll do the best work of your life alongside people you genuinely like.
head of content @ wordware
tl;dr we need someone who can turn complex ai concepts into compelling narratives. think johnny harris meets apple keynotes, but for developer tools. youll be crafting the story of how ai development is becoming accessible to everyone, and making it look damn good while youre at it.
the actual challenge: were democratizing ai development, but explaining this stuff is hard. really hard. we need someone who can make multi-agent communication with type system enforcement sound not just understandable, but exciting. someone who can show, not just tell, how wordware is changing the game.
the bigger picture: were not just talking to traditional developers. were reaching the next 500 million people who will be coding with plain english - lawyers, designers, product managers, founders, and domain experts of all kinds. our content needs to thread an impossible needle: deep enough for engineers, accessible enough for everyone else, and compelling enough to show both groups why this matters.
what youll actually be doing:
owning end-to-end educational video production:
directing and shooting high-quality video content
crafting motion graphics that explain complex concepts
editing compelling narratives (think johnny harris style)
building a video-first content strategy
managing post-production workflow
creating our core content series:
weekly technical deep-dives
product launch videos
customer story features
educational content that doesnt suck
live demo productions
building our flagship podcast:
producing a show both engineers and domain experts want
sourcing guests from tech and emerging ai builders
establishing production workflow
creating compelling audio content
leading creative direction:
defining our visual language
creating motion design systems
establishing production standards
unifying our story across platforms
you should probably have:
serious video production/editing chops (this is crucial)
deep expertise in after effects & premiere
strong motion graphics capabilities
knack for making technical concepts visual
comfort behind the camera and mic
your background might include:
running your own YT channel
video production at dev tools/tech companies
documentary or educational video production
experience at places like vox/verge/wired
motion design for technical products
technical education content
podcast production
real talk:
were in sf, you need to be too - no remote for now
youll have big budget for equipment you need
expect to both shoot and edit (especially early on)
long hours in production and post
youll be building the creative team from scratch
deadlines are tight - sometimes youll need to turn around videos in hours
you need to be technical enough to understand our product (were not kidding)
building a media brand takes time, but were in it for the long haul
pizza, beer, and crossbow competitions are part of the deal
your stories will shape how the next generation thinks about building with ai
if youve ever:
dreamed of making technical videos that dont put people to sleep
found yourself explaining complex concepts through motion
wished technical tutorials looked more like netflix docs
wanted to define the visual language for a new category
...we should talk.
ps: were backed by spark capital, felicis, and y combinator ($30m seed — biggest out of YC round) but we still work like a seed startup. and yes, the office will have a sauna and be 30m from the sea 🥵
