Software Technical Writer

What you will do

• Plan, write, and maintain high-quality documentation for developer audiences: getting-started guides, how-tos, conceptual explanations, and release notes

• Work in a docs-as-code workflow — authoring in Markdown, submitting PRs, reviewing diffs, and running docs through the same CI pipeline as code

• Use AI tools to accelerate research, drafting, and content auditing — and take full ownership of the quality and accuracy of the output

• Collaborate with engineers to document new features accurately and on time, often working from specs, early builds, and code review comments

• Verify, and maintain code samples (in languages relevant to our integrations) to ensure they compile, run, and stay current with product changes

• Audit and improve existing documentation for accuracy, completeness, structure, and voice

• Help evolve the team's style guide, information architecture, and content standards

• Mentor other writers and serve as a technical resource for docs-adjacent questions from engineering

Experience you will need:

• Proven track record of creating technical content for developer audiences (provide portfolio/examples)

• 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

• Strong software development or DevOps background with proficiency in some programming languages

• 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

• Comfort using AI tools (Claude, Codex, Copilot, etc.) to augment your workflow, with a clear-eyed approach to validating AI-generated content

• 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

Nice to Have

• Solid understanding of DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines

• Experience writing documentation for the agentic SDLC

• 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

In-office culture

We're intentional about this. We believe the best teams are built in the room together. Three anchor days — Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays — create the collaboration rhythm that makes a hub office worth having.

Candidates need to be genuinely based in the location the role is posted — if that's not where you are today, we're happy to support relocation for the right person.
