Job Level

Tech Stack

About the role

  • Documentation Architecture & Strategy: Own the ultimate outcome: a cohesive, intuitive, and high-impact documentation ecosystem.
  • Framework Mastery: Implement industry-standard structures like the Diátaxis framework.
  • The "Golden Path" Onboarding: Lead the consolidation of our onboarding journeys.
  • Cross-Functional Engineering: Partner closely with DevRel, Engineering, and Product to build strong feedback loops and documentation testing.
  • Disciplined Execution: Manage the lifecycle of versioned, open-source, and platform documentation with a "value over volume" mentality.

Requirements

  • Experience: You have 5+ years in Technical Writing or Developer Documentation, ideally within a high-growth startup where you were the first dedicated hire or played a pivotal role in scaling a doc function.
  • Kubernetes Fluency: You have deep, hands-on experience with K8s environments and complex infrastructure (Networking, API Gateways, Bare Metal). You speak "Cloud Native" as a first language.
  • Cognitive Flexibility: You are an open-minded professional—willing to abandon legacy documentation habits when presented with data-driven evidence of how modern developers actually consume information.
  • Strategic Thinking: You don't just follow a style guide; you anticipate friction points in the user journey and identify complex architectural challenges with innovative content solutions.
  • Bonus Points For: Analytical Prowess, Unified Documentation Expertise, and Modern Tech Mindset.
Benefits
  • Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity.
  • Platinum-Level Insurance: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country).
  • Flexible Working Schedule: You have a doctor’s appointment or need to head to the supermarket to get groceries at 2pm? We won’t have an issue with that. To us, results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day.
  • Workplace Flexibility: We’re very flexible about where you work. We know things can change in life and we’re happy to adjust the work environment for you along the way.
