Remote Technical Proofreader | Impact-Driven Remote Opportunity

Introduction: Shape the Standard for Clarity and Trust

Can your eye for detail transform confusion into confidence? Ours can—and we're looking for someone ready to help us set a new bar for quality, clarity, and trust in every document we send into the world. If you believe that precision is empowering and that every word matters, this remote role is designed for you.

The Mission: Go Beyond Spelling—Build Lasting Trust

Imagine technical documentation so sharp that it removes barriers and builds bridges—between teams, clients, and end-users. Here, your work as a Technical Proofreader isn’t just about catching typos; it’s about creating clarity that empowers every reader. Your input will elevate onboarding guides, product manuals, technical reports, and customer-facing FAQs—impacting thousands globally. Our clients trust us to ensure every deliverable reflects professionalism, accuracy, and approachability. That’s where you come in.

Your Impact: What You’ll Shape and Influence

Partner for Clarity from Start to Finish

Forget the idea of proofreading as an afterthought. Here, you’ll collaborate early and often, partnering with writers, engineers, and designers from draft to final release. Your technical understanding enables you to spot not just language issues, but also gaps in logic, clarity, and structure.

Key Contributions

• Transform jargon-heavy instructions into user-friendly, step-by-step guidance that makes even complex workflows feel intuitive.
• Partner with technical writers to ensure documentation stays accurate through each product update.
• Give actionable feedback that strengthens both content and the confidence of your teammates.
• Use digital proofreading tools and remote collaboration platforms to review, edit, and approve documents before they’re published.
• Help maintain a living style guide, adapting tone and terminology as products evolve.
• Collaborate with support, QA, and development to surface recurring customer issues and ensure documentation proactively solves them.
• Ensure every asset—whether it’s a code sample, API reference, or onboarding video script—meets the highest standard of clarity, accessibility, and technical accuracy.

Work Environment: Tools, Collaboration, and Support

A Remote Setup That Empowers Focus

You’ll join a fully remote, distributed team that values focus and flexibility. Our collaboration stack includes Notion, Confluence, and Slack for seamless communication, while your review work happens in Google Docs, Grammarly, and specialized technical editing platforms. Expect regular deep-work blocks so you can give documents your full attention—without pings or distractions.

Feedback and Innovation

Feedback cycles are structured, deadlines are clear, and there’s always space to share new ideas. Here, remote collaboration isn’t just a workaround—it’s how we unlock the best thinking from anywhere.

Growth, Learning, and Recognition

Keep Evolving—Professionally and Personally

You won’t just be reviewing content in isolation. You’ll be invited to monthly learning circles where technical experts share trends and best practices. There’s support for professional development—whether you’re seeking new certifications or exploring content accessibility and inclusive language in greater depth.

Real Results, Real Recognition

Your impact is visible: you’ll see how your revisions lead to fewer support tickets, better onboarding experiences, and happier clients. Recognition here is meaningful—rooted in the measurable outcomes your work creates.

Storyline: Proofreading that Changes Everything

A few months ago, a client launched a major feature update. Our team proofed the technical release notes, onboarding flows, and support articles. Thanks to sharp eyes and a knack for clarity, we caught several issues that would have tripped up users. The result? Customers got up to speed faster, support teams fielded fewer questions, and the client’s trust in our work grew even deeper. It’s a story we repeat project after project—and you’ll be a core part of the next chapter.

What You Bring: Skills and Qualities for Success

Your Experience and Approach

• Experience in proofreading or editing technical content—software documentation, engineering specs, process guides, or similar.
• Familiarity with version control systems and remote collaboration tools.
• An instinct for structure: you know how to reorganize a tangled paragraph or rewrite steps so users never get lost.
• Comfort with digital proofreading tools, markup conventions, and accessibility best practices.
• You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or inside a comment thread.
• A mindset of continuous improvement and a calm, supportive approach to feedback.
• Strong organizational skills; you can manage multiple projects and never miss a deadline.

Compensation and Flexibility
