About The Role

Join our team as a Software Technical Writer, where you will plan, write, and maintain high-quality documentation for developer audiences. You will work in a docs-as-code workflow, collaborate with engineers to document new features, verify and maintain code samples, audit and improve existing documentation, and help evolve the team's style guide and content standards. You should have experience working cross-functionally with engineering and product teams, a strong instinct for information architecture, and a proven track record of creating technical content for developer audiences. A strong software development or DevOps background is also required.

  • Plan, write, and maintain high-quality documentation for developer audiences, including getting-started guides, how-tos, conceptual explanations, and release notes.
  • Collaborate with engineers to document new features accurately and on time, often working from specs, early builds, and code review comments.
  • Audit and improve existing documentation for accuracy, completeness, structure, and voice, and help evolve the team's style guide, information architecture, and content standards.
  • Fluency in a docs-as-code workflow: Markdown or similar markup, Git (branching, PRs, rebasing), and working inside a repo as a first-class collaborator
  • Experience working cross-functionally with engineering and product teams to ship documentation alongside features
  • Strong instinct for information architecture: you know the difference between a tutorial, a how-to, a reference, and a concept and when to use them
  • Proven track record of creating technical content for developer audiences (provide portfolio/examples)
  • Comfort using AI tools (Claude, Codex, Copilot, etc.) to augment your workflow, with a clear-eyed approach to validating AI-generated content
  • Strong software development or DevOps background with proficiency in some programming languages
  • Experience writing documentation for the agentic SDLC
  • Solid understanding of DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience with code quality, security, and testing concepts including SAST, DAST, code coverage, and vulnerability management
  • Demonstrated ability to read, write, and debug code — whether through writing verified code samples in technical articles, a background as a developer or software engineer, or equivalent hands-on experience
