What we’re looking for (and what we’re not)

If you are thinking about writing an article for us, we’re currently looking for:

  • Personal experiences with key takeaways for our community 
  • Case studies or projects you’ve worked on that have made a difference 
  • Lessons learned from your own career journey 
  • Demystifying a complex role or piece of engineering jargon – whether that’s a team or a project, a collaborative process or a niche job title. If it will inform our audience, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re not looking for:

  • AI-written content. We love original ideas and real human voices. To keep things authentic, we run every submission through an AI detection tool. If your piece appears to be mostly AI-generated, we won’t be able to publish it.
