Hiring Update: The safety of our candidates and team members is our top priority. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our workforce transitioned to working from home, with all interviewing and onboarding being conducted virtually until further notice.

Job Purpose

We are looking for a skilled technical writer to join our world-class team. You’ll have the wonderful ability to create captivating, easy-to-digest technical documentation from source code, technical designs/plans and interviews with the engineering team. You have a passion for technology, and while you aren’t necessarily a programmer, you have a good understanding of ‘what programmers do’, and ‘what they need to understand technical things’. You aren’t scared of terms like API and SDK, know that most technical documentation is boring, and have vowed that you’ll never write anything dry enough to put a highly caffeinated programmer to sleep.

Key Roles & Responsibilities

• Create structured and easy to digest documentation
• Craft ‘how to’ guides for our custom tools
• Ensure our technical documentation remains up-to-date
• Work with our team of experts to document our internal technologies
• Write and/or edit technical articles for wider distribution
• Compile onboarding documentation that is clear and concise

Required Experience & Skills

• You’ve been writing technical documentation for at least 3 years
• You have a good understanding of how programmers work and think

Please provide examples of your work.
