• Strong interviewing skills, including the ability to extract meaningful opinions and insights and turn them into compelling stories.
• Practical knowledge of Hacker News, LinkedIn, developer communities, SEO, and AI-driven content discovery.
• Hands-on experience with SEO analytics tools such as Ahrefs or Semrush and Google Search Console.
