Content Engineer, Editorial Remote Verticals, Cybersecurity Full time India Overview Description Reporting to Portfolio Director About Packt Packt's mission is to help the world put software to work in new ways, through the delivery of effective learning and information services to IT professionals. We are a technical publisher and learning provider with over 400 staff based across the globe, primarily in India and the UK. Our products have global relevance, and our multimedia portfolio includes over 7,000 books, e-books, audiobooks, and video courses. For more details, visit . Within Packt, the publishing business is spread across a number of verticals, each focused on a particular domain. This role is for the Cyber Security vertical. About the Cyber Security Vertical The Cybersecurity vertical is Packt’s base for security practitioners, ethical hackers, defenders, auditors, and system protectors operating in an increasingly adversarial digital world. Our portfolio is built around the belief that effective security professionals don’t just learn tools, they develop a deep understanding of attacker mindsets, defensive strategies, and risk-based decision-making across systems, networks, and human factors. Our top titles reflect this breadth and depth: Core security foundations & certifications: - CompTIA® Security+® SY0-701 Certification Guide - CompTIA® SecurityX® CAS-005 Certification Guide - CISA – Certified Information Systems Auditor Study Guide Offensive security & hands-on practice: - The Ultimate Kali Linux Book - Linux Shell Scripting for Hackers - Agentic AI for Offensive Cybersecurity Defense, strategy & governance: - Cybersecurity Strategy for the AI-Driven Era - Human Factors in Cybersecurity Advanced & emerging domains: - Adversarial AI Attacks, Mitigations, and Defense Strategies - Digital Forensics Cookbook At the same time, we recognize that AI is reshaping cybersecurity at every layer from automated threat detection and SOC workflows to adversarial attacks powered by generative models. Our mission is to stay at the forefront of that shift, ensuring our products prepare professionals not just to use security tools, but to anticipate threats, design resilient systems, and defend against evolving AI-driven attack vectors. This vertical is for professionals who want to think like attackers, defend like strategists, and secure systems that operate at scale. Role Overview As a Content Engineer in the Cybersecurity vertical, you will be responsible for owning the content lifecycle from concept to publication. You’ll work closely with Relationship Leads, Growth Leads, and Authors to shape each learning product so it delivers quality and real-world impact. This means your role isn’t just about editing manuscripts. You are expected to engineer content at every stage of the product, evaluating book outlines, strengthening structure, coaching authors, ensuring each product is practitioner-focused and insight-rich, and keeping content aligned with evolving threat landscapes. The scope of your work goes beyond books. As part of our Books+ initiative, you will enhance learning experiences with multi-format layers such as labs, simulations, attack/defense walkthroughs, and scenario-based exercises. You’ll also contribute to non-book formats such as newsletters, threat briefings, and live security workshops. A great Content Engineer is driven by one question: What format, structure, and delivery will make this content most useful to the security professional facing real-world threats? Working at Packt – Shaping the Future of Tech Learning Packt is a digital-first tech publisher on a mission to help the world put software to work. We've recently undergone a company-wide transformation to better serve tech professionals in a rapidly evolving, AI-powered world. Our business is now structured around small, agile vertical teams, each focused on a specific tech domain or topic area, that combine publishing, product, relationship leadership, and marketing capabilities to build tailored content and learning solutions. This means we move fast, experiment often, and work closely with our audiences to understand what they need. We're looking for people who thrive in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment and who are motivated by delivering real impact, whether through building innovative products, shaping insightful content, enabling smarter systems and operations, or building and sustaining strong relationships with expert contributors and communities. If you're excited by meaningful work, curious about how technology is reshaping careers and industries, and want to be part of a mission-led team, Packt could be the right place for you. What You Will Do Editorial & Product Development - Evaluate proposals and outlines with a focus on audience relevance, real-world applicability, and differentiation. - Perform substantive edits to strengthen clarity, structure, and learning outcomes. - Ensure content goes beyond theory to include practical attack scenarios, defensive strategies, and decision-making trade-offs. Author & Expert Collaboration - Coach authors to translate expertise into actionable, hands-on learning. - Guide them to include real-world case studies, tools, and workflows. - Build strong relationships with cybersecurity experts, practitioners, and researchers. Strategic & Multi-Format Contribution - Collaborate on product launches and positioning for cybersecurity audiences. - Enhance books with labs, simulations, red-team/blue-team exercises, and walkthroughs. - Contribute to derived formats such as threat briefings, research explainers, live hacking demos, and cohort-based training. Research & Market Awareness - Track trends across threat landscapes, vulnerabilities, compliance requirements, and AI-driven security challenges. - Benchmark against competing learning resources and certifications. - Feed insights into product strategy to keep Packt at the forefront of cybersecurity education. Quality & Process Ownership - Own quality sign-off for all products. - Balance speed-to-market with depth and accuracy. - Ensure technical correctness, clarity, and adherence to ethical/security standards. Who You Are The work we do is fast-paced, demanding, and intellectually challenging. We are looking for candidates with a strong interest in cybersecurity and in helping professionals stay ahead in an evolving threat landscape. - A critical thinker who balances technical depth with user-focused content design. - Curious about cybersecurity domains, from ethical hacking to governance and AI security. - Strong communicator and collaborator across technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Adaptable across long-form content (books) and fast-moving formats (threat briefings, labs). Must-have skills: - 4+ years in editorial/content development for technical or instructional products. - Ability to translate complex security concepts into clear, structured learning. - Strong author/SME management experience. - Excellent English-language proficiency and editorial judgment. - Quality-first mindset with strong attention to detail. - Ability to contribute beyond editing, including labs, simulations, and multi-format learning products. Good-to-have skills: - Familiarity with cybersecurity domains (network security, pentesting, GRC, forensics, etc.). - Experience with hands-on labs, simulations, or technical training formats. - Awareness of AI in cybersecurity (both offensive and defensive use cases). - Project management experience across multiple content streams.
