Get in touch if you've got the expertise, strategy, and drive to make our writing shine.

You'll be in charge of making everything easily consumable.

Responsibilities

  • Write A lot. You'll create UI content, onboarding flows, feature announcements, videos, screencasts, troubleshooting guides, API docs, and readmes.

  • Collaborate with everyone. This includes the UX team, product managers, developers, DevOps, QA, support, customer success, marketing, sales, our SEO guy... pretty much everyone except the folks doing construction across the street.
  • Manage the tools. We manage the docs like code, and we manage our UI copy in its own database. With some work, you can customize the docs to do anything. You'll also do some maintenance from time to time,
  • Manage the process. Everyone has a stake in our content, so you'll get feedback from a bunch of people. You'll need to balance requests with time-sensitive work. We're still a startup — and we need you to bring some discipline to the role.

  • You negotiate and prioritize projects so you can meet every deadline. You're flexible. You can work in an agile environment where releases aren’t on a set schedule; they ship as soon as they’re ready.
  • You love learning and you set aside time for it. You look forward to a steep learning curve. You know how to research new material, but you also know when it's time to ask for help.
