You will be extending existing articles, and also creating fresh content. The content covers topics which are of interest to the average Raspberry Pi user. The content will be in-depth, and high quality. We are looking to build several "skyscrapers" which will provide consistent traffic on relevant topics to our website.
For example, the currently best-performing article is this:
https://picockpit.com/raspberry-pi/everything-about-raspberry-pi-zero-2-w/
If you are experienced with keyword research, and coming up with your own ideas, we are absolutely open to discuss these.
Coral by Google: We are looking to build up content targetting an industrial user base - people who would be looking to build Google Coral products into their own applications. Specifically, we are looking to create content and instructions around the Coral Devboard Mini

Please send us your CV, your compensation expectations, and how much time you would be able to dedicate to the project.
Please write in detail about your interest in the Raspberry Pi platform and/or artificial intelligence, and point out your areas of expertise.
Please also answer the following questions, to allow me to gauge your technical skills (you don't need to have 100 % of them correct):

- cd
- man
- grep
- how does deep learning work (roughly)?
Also, please include some sample articles, or links to content you have written in the past. Ideally this should be of a technical nature, not necessarily Raspberry Pi or Coral-related.
Looking forward to your application!
