Full-time | Austin, TX

Welcome to NextWork, the company changing the way the world learns.

More than 220,000 people across 190 countries use NextWork to learn AI by building. They work with the newest tools, create projects that prove what they can do and build a portfolio as they learn.

As our first dedicated Project Writer, you’ll own the experience at the heart of NextWork: the projects people use to learn.

Your job is to uphold a learning experience that’s technically accurate, easy to follow, exciting to complete, and rewarding to showcase. The standard is simple - every learner should finish every project thinking, “That was the best possible way I could have learned that skill.”

We’re a close-knit team in Austin that values collaboration, transparency and low ego. You’ll work across writing, product and engineering to set the standard for what a great project looks like, then help our AI project generator meet that standard at scale.

What you’ll do

• Write incredible hands-on projects that help learners build with AI tools.
• Research new tools, models and workflows, build with them yourself, then work out the clearest way to teach them.
• Own every part of the project experience, including the project instructions, explanations, screenshots, diagrams, code blocks, quizzes, tasks and troubleshooting help.
• Test every project vigorously from start to finish. Find the broken commands, missing context and confusing moments before a learner does.
• Own the prompts, examples and evaluations that shape the quality of our AI project generator.
• Study where learners stop, struggle or lose momentum. Work directly with product and engineering to remove those dropoff points.
• Keep projects up to date as models are deprecated, interfaces change and tools update. Your projects must remain trustworthy in a field that evolves every day.
• Record project walkthroughs and become a visible part of the NextWork learner community.
• Check out the challenge as a preview of what you’ll do in this process, and of course, the day to day of the role! Project Writer Challenge Brief
