About Primitives
Primitives is building the most fun place to create, share, and collect moments with friends. We're growing a new web3 social network from the group up, powered by ownership. On Primitives, users can easily mint moments, chat with friends, transact seamlessly via crypto wallets, and build their on-chain identity.
We're re-imaging what the internet can be, building from a place of accessibility and ownership. We’re excited to be building on Solana.
Primitives is currently a team of 12 full-time employees. We are a backed by investors including Redpoint Ventures, Union Square Ventures, Harlem Capital, and Stellation Capital. To learn more about our mission, check out primitives.xyz and our most recent TechCrunch feature.
What we're looking for
We are looking for a part-time content writer (10-15 hrs/week) to develop and produce written materials for Primitives.
This individual should be an exceptional writer, well-versed in speaking to younger audiences (primarily GenZ and younger Millennials). We care a lot about creating engaging, high quality content that is smart, quippy, and culturally informed. SEO is a priority but we don’t believe it should stand in the way of delightful writing.
You will have a unique opportunity to lay the foundation for our online editorial presence and define our newsletter strategy. We are very interested in online culture, profiles, and creating an immersive content-driven experience.
Maybe you’ve been running your own personal newsletter, have spent time reporting, or writing brand-driven content in the past. Either way, we hope you live and breathe the internet and are excited to meet you :)
