We’re looking for a self-starting, detail-oriented, experienced Technical Writer to join our SaaS documentation team and help us on our mission to provide our users the information they need to be successful – in real time.
To accomplish this, we create documentation to support IT administrators, system integrators, and business users as they navigate our products to accomplish the tasks they need to do, whether that involves initial setup, ongoing system configuration, or managing access to cloud resources.

- Collaborate with Engineers to ensure an accurate understanding of how the product works
- Produce high-quality documentation while working in a continuous deployment environment
- Solicit stakeholder reviews and perform peer reviews of content produced by others
- Verify accuracy of documentation prior to publishing, and maintain it as needed
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional writing experience, backed by a degree in English or a related field
- Experience writing content for non-technical & technical audiences, such as IT administrators
- Excellent collaboration & communication skills (both verbal and written)
- Proven ability to research unfamiliar subject matter and experiment with early prototypes
- Ability to work in a dynamic, continuous delivery deployment environment
Preferred Skills & Experience:
- Professional experience writing for a SaaS platform or product
- Experience following Agile methodologies & using issue tracking tools
- Comfort using Markdown or HTML for online delivery
- Familiarity with content strategy and information architecture
- Strong preference given to candidates with experience guiding users through the process of integrating systems using config files, REST APIs, and mapping attributes
