This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Writer (Satire), the Exploit based in Spain. We are looking for a creative and genuinely funny writer with hands-on experience in cybersecurity, technology, or software engineering to bring a fresh satirical perspective to the industry. This role combines sharp editorial writing with short-form video creation, turning real-world industry frustrations into entertaining, fictional news stories. You will produce content that humorously explores cybersecurity trends, vendor announcements, AI developments, compliance challenges, and workplace culture. Working with a small, collaborative team, you will have significant creative freedom to pitch ideas, experiment with formats, and develop recurring characters and concepts. This is a versátil, fully remote contractor opportunity designed for someone who wants to turn their industry experience into original comedy while keeping their existing professional career. Accountabilities:
- Pitch, research, and write approximately five original satirical articles per month, typically between 400 and 700 words, using a convincing newsroom style and a distinctive deadpan sense of humor.
- Develop creative headlines and story concepts covering cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, software, technology vendors, compliance, and workplace culture.
- Transform selected articles into short-form social media videos, generally between 30 and 90 seconds, and develop original video-first concepts.
- Write engaging video scripts and, ideally, independently handle filming and editing to produce polished short-form content.
- Experiment with new creative formats, recurring characters, sketches, and satirical approaches rather than relying on repetitive concepts.




- Draw inspiration from real professional experiences and industry observations while protecting confidential information and changing identifying details.

- Collaborate with the editorial team to refine ideas, maintain high content standards, and identify opportunities to improve audience engagement.
- Deliver five articles and five videos every month independently and consistently, taking ownership of content quality and deadlines.
- Participate in public-facing content creation, including appearing under your own name and having your image, voice, and likeness featured in published and promoted videos.

Requirements:
- Proven professional experience in cybersecurity, such as Security Operations (SOC), incident response, penetration testing, red teaming, governance, risk and compliance (GRC), security engineering, application security, product security, or cloud security. Software engineering experience is also relevant.
- Strong creative writing skills, with the ability to produce concise, engaging, humorous, and original content.
- A genuinely developed sense of humor, particularly in satire, with the ability to deliver entertaining stories both in writing and on camera.
- A strong understanding of the cybersecurity and technology industries, including their terminology, professional culture, common challenges, and everyday frustrations.
- Excellent editorial judgement, knowing how to develop a compelling story, structure a narrative, and remove unnecessary content.
- The ability to balance humor with respect, creating satire that challenges industry practices without targeting or belittling individuals facing difficult professional situations.
- Reliability, independence, and strong time-management skills, with the ability to consistently deliver the agreed monthly content volume without close supervision.
- Comfort with public visibility, including publishing articles under your real name and appearing in videos using your own image and voice, including content used in paid advertising.
- Availability to contribute remotely and flexibly, ideally alongside an existing professional role.
