Writer, Zealot
Content Writer
Zealot (zealotlabs.com) deploys AI systems at the center of Western cyber operations, backed by tier-1 U.S. venture firms and industry leaders. Our team includes alumni of Anthropic, xAI, NSA, USCYBERCOM, Anduril, Unit 8200, and the Mossad.
We’re looking for a writer to own Zealot’s written presence across LinkedIn and X.
You’ll be responsible for turning complex ideas in AI, cyber, national security, and defense technology into sharp, compelling content that people actually want to read. This includes long-form LinkedIn posts, short-form X posts, comments, replies, founder-style essays, and timely reactions to major industry conversations.
This role is a test of taste, clarity, judgment, and speed. We care less about credentials and more about whether you can write in a way that is specific, intelligent, on-brand, and capable of moving people.
Topics we care about
Examples of themes we like:
- AI’s rapidly improving cyber and hacking capabilities
- Startup lessons around speed, urgency, and execution
- U.S. national security, cyber dominance, and defense technology
- The changing nature of warfare in a post-AI world
- The stagnation of the West’s brightest technical minds
- Timely commentary on major conversations happening across X and LinkedIn
- Historical examples that help explain modern cyber, defense, and technology shifts
What matters to us
It’s important that you understand what kind of writing you personally do best.
Some writers are excellent at long-form essays. Others are best at short, punchy posts. Others are great at sharp replies, commentary, or turning technical ideas into simple narratives.
We’re looking for content across the board, so if there’s a specific format where you’re strongest, we’d love to shape the role around that.
