Open role
Copywriter
Space (sp-ce.co) · Remote · Full-time
TL;DR
- —Space, an AI-native brand agency, is hiring a senior Copywriter who owns voice, argument, and every sentence that ships under their name.
- —The machines produce infinite competent copy; the De-Slopper agent strips the tells; the human makes it mean something, which is the part that was always the job.
- —Space works words-first: strategy and language lead, design follows the argument, and nothing gets poured into a finished layout.
- —Applying is three questions in a short form: one piece you shipped and now hate, the best idea you ever cut, and one thing in culture that makes you jealous.
01
About Space
Space is an AI-native brand agency. Three always-on leaders, 82 on-demand specialists, zero juniors. 127 agents, 362 agentic workflows, 14 tools we built ourselves. We ship brand identities, websites, campaigns, and products for funded companies in weeks: Validere got strategy, a full rebrand, and a new site in 8 weeks, lifted inbound 31%, and closed a $43M Series B on the story. We grow entirely by word of mouth, and we publish our AI rules, our hiring bar, and our pricing logic at sp-ce.co/notes, because an agency that won't tell you where AI stops is telling you it doesn't know.
02
The job
The machines produce a thousand competent sentences before lunch: on-tone, on-brief, grammatically blameless, each written by no one. Copy written by no one persuades no one. Somewhere past correct is the sentence with a person behind it, the one a stranger reads twice, and being that person is this job.
Space works words-first: positioning and language lead, and design follows the argument. That makes this seat load-bearing. You'll write the verbal identities, the manifestos, the headlines, the sites, and the naming systems for funded companies at launch moments, with machines carrying everything that made copywriting feel like data entry: the variant grids, the SKU mines, the forty banner adaptations of one approved line.
We even built an agent for the aftermath: the De-Slopper strips AI tells out of drafts before a human polishes them. It can delete "delve." It cannot make a founder sound like the only person who could have built their company. That second thing is you, and at Space a named human stands behind every sentence that ships.
03
What you'll do
Write verbal identities end to end: voice, messaging architecture, manifestos, headlines, sites, names.
Present the line. Sometimes two, when a genuine fork exists. Never fifteen, because a client picking from fifteen always picks the safest.
Direct the writing machines: build the voice systems they follow, then judge everything they return against a bar they can't see.
Keep a record of the darlings you cut and why, on the record.
Sit in strategy from day one, because here the words are the strategy wearing its going-out clothes.
04
What you won't do
Fill a box a designer left for you. Design starts after the words here, so nothing you write gets poured into a finished layout.
Get rewritten in track changes by an account layer. There isn't one. Feedback reaches you firsthand, and the rebuttal is yours to make.
Mine SKU descriptions or adapt one line forty ways. Volume is machine work, permanently.
Manage juniors. There are none. Nobody learns the craft on a client's budget here.
Sit in status meetings, log timesheets, or build spec work for pitches. The machines and the model retired all three.
05
Who you are
A voice-maker with receipts: brands that sound like one person wrote them, because one person did, and that person can prove it moved a number.
Level 4 or above on our published AI Fluency Ladder: you run the writing machines hard and trust none of them.
Someone who reads work out loud before shipping it, and cuts whatever you couldn't say to a face.
An editor of your own darlings: sentences you loved and deleted, with reasons.
Fast without being loose. Weeks-long sprints mean the first draft arrives good and the third one ships.
06
Who you aren't
A synonym cycler. If the thesaurus is doing the voice, there is no voice.
Precious without reasons. "I just like it better" doesn't survive a room here; "it's the only line the competitor couldn't run" does.
Level 2 on the ladder: someone who ships whatever the model returns. That's worse than not using AI at all, and we said so in print.
Anonymous. Your name goes on the work, and we treat that as the perk it is.

How to apply
No cover letter. No 90-page portfolio PDF. No resume upload, even. The application is three questions:
One piece of work you shipped and now hate, with the reason. Two hundred words max.
The best idea you ever cut, and why it was right to cut it.
One thing in culture right now that makes you jealous.
Use AI to answer if you like; we do. We'll be able to tell whether you reviewed it.
Comeargue.
Yes, this job description was drafted with AI. A named human rewrote it, cut a third of it, and will defend every line on a call. That's the entire model, and it's hiring.
Frequently asked questions
It writes the volume: variants, adaptations, first passes. The voice, the argument, and every sentence that ships are yours, and the De-Slopper answers to you, not the other way around.
Both, unapologetically. The role is real and open; the posting argues the model, because the model is the job.
Because the seat is sized to the person in it. You'll hear a real range in the first conversation, before you've invested anything beyond the three answers.
A named human reads all three answers. If they're real, we call you.
