Copy Engineer · FireTeam
Marketing6+ monthsContract to hire$2,000–$5,500 monthly
About this role
We’re FireTeam, a performance creative agency making creator videos, statics and ad briefs for DTC brands across beauty, supplements and apps. We’re hiring a Copy Engineer to turn ideas into stronger performance creative using Buddy, our in-house brief-writing tool. This isn’t a traditional copywriting position. You’ll focus on ideation, building on concepts and editing copy, while the tool does most of the typing.
What you’ll own
You’ll bring ideas to about three hours of live brainstorms each week and build on teammates’ ideas, using client performance data.
You’ll keep a bank of fresh concepts for each client, and when an ad wins, you’ll know what to make next.
You’ll load each concept into Buddy with the audience, angle, proof and tone before it generates, then refine the output with it.
You’ll edit briefs for strong hooks, compliant claims and clear direction, so designers, editors and creators can execute them with few revisions.
You’ll write long and short primary text in each client’s voice.
You’ll deliver a dozen or more briefs a week once you’re up to speed, across beauty, supplements and app clients.
Who you are
You’ll bring hands-on experience writing UGC scripts or paid social briefs, without needing a long résumé. The right recent experience matters more to us than years.
You’ll understand direct-response fundamentals (hook, proof, objection, offer) and think in hypotheses, not formulas or recycled copywriting playbooks.
You’ll use performance metrics to decide what to brief next.
You’ll be quick in a live room, with original ideas and a knack for making other people’s ideas better.
You’ll use AI writing tools fluently and know what a model can’t know about a client.
You’ll be available full-time, with working hours that overlap through noon Eastern.
Bonus points
You’ll bring experience creating performance ads for beauty, supplements or apps.
You’ll bring experience writing for Meta specifically.
You’ll have enough design or editing sense to mock up a concept yourself.
Compensation
Up to $65,000/year, based on experience and location. Remote, full-time contractor engagement, ongoing. 36-hour week with half-day Fridays, quarterly profit sharing, a flexible schedule outside the live sessions, and a soft close around the holidays.
