The content you produce can take many forms (blog + guest posts, tutorials, videos, webinars…) and be about any topic that’s interesting for our community.

Tech & Tools: We’re using a broad, modern collection of tools for our marketing: you’ll find Google Analytics, ActiveCampaign, Ahrefs, OptinMonster, and many more in your tool belt.
Website Development: We have a multitude of cool web projects that evolve quickly: the Tower website and blog, our learning platform, the Tower online help, and many special projects. You'll work with static-site generators and lots of modern Sass / CSS, Javascript, and Ruby.
