Job description

Senior Technical Writer — Platform Documentation

Full-time

We need a technical writer who can take a protocol specification written by our cryptographer and turn it into documentation that a customer's IT administrator can implement. Our documentation is the bridge between deeply technical infrastructure and the people who need to operate it — and it needs to be excellent.

Responsibilities
  • — Author and maintain platform documentation: API reference, integration guides, deployment runbooks, troubleshooting guides
  • — Work directly with engineering and security teams to extract technical detail and translate it into clear, accurate prose
  • — Establish documentation standards: style guide, terminology consistency, information architecture, review process
  • — Build and maintain the documentation site: MkDocs/Material, content organization, search optimization, contribution workflow
  • — Create diagrams and architecture illustrations for complex system interactions
  • — Review documentation contributions from engineering — enforce clarity, accuracy, and consistency
  • — Manage documentation for compliance audits: evidence of documented procedures, version control, change tracking
Requirements
  • — 5+ years of technical writing for developer- or administrator-facing documentation
  • — Experience with docs-as-code workflow: Markdown, git, static site generators (MkDocs, Docusaurus, Sphinx), CI/CD for documentation builds
  • — Excellent written English — clarity and precision are non-negotiable
  • — Experience working directly with engineering teams in a remote, async-first environment
Nice to Have
  • — Experience documenting security products, cryptographic protocols, or enterprise infrastructure
  • — Familiarity with OpenAPI/Swagger specification and API documentation tools
  • — Knowledge of Linux/Windows system administration at a conceptual level
  • — Experience building documentation for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit evidence
