What is a blog post writer?

Blog post writers are professionals who create written content for blogs, typically published on websites to inform, engage, or entertain readers. They research topics, craft original articles, and optimize content for search engines. Blog post writers may work freelance or as part of a marketing team, and they often tailor their writing style to suit the target audience and the goals of the website. Their work helps drive website traffic, build brand authority, and connect with readers online.

To thrive as a Blog Post Writer, you need strong writing, editing, and research skills, often supported by a background in communications, journalism, or English. Familiarity with content management systems (like WordPress), SEO tools, and basic image editing software is typically required. Creativity, attention to detail, adaptability, and the ability to meet deadlines are standout soft skills in this role. These skills ensure the production of engaging, well-optimized content that attracts and retains readers while supporting organizational goals.

Key responsibilities

  • Build Sphinx's content engine from scratch, including defining strategy, managing the content calendar, and creating systems for consistent publishing across all channels.

  • Create and produce content in various formats such as long-form blog posts, thought leadership articles, videos, podcasts, newsletters, social media, and physical campaigns.

  • Collaborate with different teams within the company to develop stories from engineering, product, sales, compliance, and leadership, and turn them into content that drives engagement and pipeline.

Job description

tl;dr: We're automating compliance for banks and fintechs with AI agents that work like human analysts. Nobody in this space is telling the story well - and that's the opportunity. We're looking for someone to become the voice of Sphinx: building our content engine from scratch across every format and channel. If you can write a blog post that gets shared by a bank's CCO, produce a podcast that people actually listen to, and think about billboards and newsletters with the same level of care, we should talk.
Background
Before you can move money or open an account, someone has to make sure you're not a criminal. That's compliance, and it's broken.
Sphinx builds AI analysts that work inside browsers, APIs, and internal systems just like humans - automating AML, KYC, KYB, and transaction monitoring end-to-end.
We help banks and fintechs eliminate 90% of manual work, cut compliance costs by 4x, and make onboarding instantaneous. We're trusted by leading institutions across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and LatAm.
We've built a product people love. The content has been founder-led from day one, and it's working. But we're at the point where we need someone to take what's been built, expand it across every channel and format, and turn it into a content engine that scales.
Why Join Sphinx
  1. You'll define the brand from scratch: There's no existing content team, no legacy brand guidelines, no "this is how we've always done it." You'll build Sphinx's voice, visual identity, and content strategy from the ground up.
  2. The story writes itself: We're replacing a $200B manual industry with AI agents that actually work. Our customers see 90% less manual work. We've never lost a deal. The material is there - it just needs someone who can tell it.
  3. Multi-format, multi-channel: This isn't a "write blog posts" role. You'll work across text, video, podcasts, newsletters, social, physical campaigns, and whatever else you think works. If you have range, you'll use all of it.
  4. We have never lost a deal to a competitor: Yes you heard that right, we've won every RFP we've been in. Great content will pour fuel on a fire that's already burning.
  5. Small team, big surface area: Our co-founders previously sold an AI company & have built ML systems that scaled to millions of users and closed deals with major banks. The rest of our team in SF includes PhDs, industry experts, and competitive coders.
  6. Zero startup bullshit: We're not chasing vanity metrics or engagement bait. We care about content that builds trust, drives pipeline, and makes people pay attention.

What You'll Work On
Build Sphinx's content engine from zero. Define the strategy, own the calendar, and create the systems that let us publish consistently across every channel - blog, social, newsletter, podcast, video, and physical campaigns.
Tell stories across every format. Write long-form blog posts and thought leadership that positions Sphinx as the authority in AI-powered compliance. Produce video and podcast content that brings our customers, team, and space to life. Design physical outreach (from billboards to event collateral) that makes people stop and look.
Cover every angle that matters. The company, the customers, the team, the space. You'll turn customer wins into case studies, team insights into thought leadership, industry trends into sharp takes, and product launches into moments that get noticed.
Work across the entire company. You'll pull stories from engineering, product, sales, compliance, and leadership. You'll collaborate with the GTM team to make sure content drives real pipeline, and with the CEO to shape how Sphinx shows up in the world.
What We Look For
  • You're an exceptional storyteller across formats: You can write a 2,000-word blog post, script a 3-minute video, and draft a billboard headline - and each one lands. You understand that different channels need different approaches, not the same content repurposed lazily.
  • You've built content from scratch before: You've owned a content function or built one from the ground up. You know how to go from "we should do more content" to a running machine that publishes consistently and drives results.
  • You have taste: Your work stands out. You care about the details - the headline, the thumbnail, the pacing, the CTA. You have strong opinions about what good content looks like and you hold yourself to that standard.
  • You're a producer, not just a creator: You know how to manage production across formats and deliver on schedule without sacrificing quality.
  • You understand B2B and enterprise audiences: You know how to create content that resonates with compliance officers, bank executives, and fintech founders - not just tech Twitter. You can be smart without being inaccessible.
  • You're data-informed but not data-paralyzed: You track what works, learn from what doesn't, and use metrics to improve - but you also trust your instincts and don't need a dashboard to tell you a piece is good.
  • You're impact-obsessed: You want to see your work move the company forward, every day.
