Offer direct feedback and best practices to engineers, designers, and product managers on UI writing. Ideal candidate: Exceptional copywriting and editing skills , with a strong portfolio of UI writing. Proven experience creating Tone & Style Guides for tech companies or aerospace products. Background working in-house or as a consultant with design teams scaling or refining design systems. Deep understanding of UI components and how they function (e.g., notifications vs. toasts).

Comfortable working with VP and CEO-level leadership to refine and gain approval for critical style and tone decisions. Why Join Skydio?
