Introduction

Join our growing team in Austin to play a pivotal role in shaping clear, compelling technical documentation that directly impacts user experience, internal training, and sales success. After a successful first year, you will have reduced support ticket volume on specific issues, elevated our self-service support experience, and become the go-to expert in crafting documentation that simplifies complex product details for diverse audiences.

What you'll do

• Collaborate closely with subject matter experts (product managers, sales people, engineers) to gather and interpret technical details.

• Develop and update clear, concise, user-focused documentation, including self-service articles, how-to guides, feature tutorials, sales enablement materials, internal training resources, and internal knowledge bases.

• Research and write technical whitepapers and engaging blog posts focused on the product, its unique capabilities, and real-world use cases.

• Use AI tools (such as ChatGPT) to accelerate content creation

• Create and maintain a support AI chatbot (via 3rd party tools) that our customers can use to self-serve support.

• Structure documentation logically and incorporate visual elements (charts, diagrams, screenshots) to enhance clarity and usability.

• Ensure all documentation adheres to our company style guide and industry best practices through meticulous editing and proofreading.

Who you are

• An expert user of AI-driven writing tools (especially ChatGPT), skilled at using technology to improve documentation efficiency and quality.

• An exceptionally clear, precise, and literal writer who thrives on making complex topics easy for anyone to understand.

• Passionate about organization and structure, with proven ability to create logically arranged documentation.

• Detail-oriented, consistently delivering polished, accurate, and comprehensive written materials.

• A deep, analytical thinker who proactively identifies content gaps and improves documentation through user insights and data analysis.

• A dedicated, reliable worker excited to collaborate in-person at our Austin office and contribute to cross-functional projects in a hybrid work environment.

We hire for potential, passion for our mission, and a knack for solving difficult problems over checking every qualification box. We have competitive pay, equity with significant upside, and intentionally design our benefits to encourage healthy and well-balanced employees, from flexible work schedules to unlimited paid time off. We even offer a sabbatical after every five years of service so you’re able to pursue and enjoy what matters most to you. And of course, we wouldn’t be a technology company in Austin without a ping-pong table and free snacks in our break room. Join us!
