Does Your Writing Build Bridges Where Others See Walls?
Great documentation isn’t just about words on a page—it’s the hidden engine that powers every seamless onboarding, every bug-free release, and every successful launch. If you know how to turn technical complexity into explicit, accessible content, you’ll thrive in this fully remote role where your expertise makes a measurable impact. Here, every doc you write removes friction for engineers and empowers users across Maryland and beyond.
Why Your Work Here Matters
Your documentation won’t just support new features—it’ll shape how teams adopt tools, how customers solve problems, and how our products are perceived worldwide. Every time you clarify a workflow, you help a developer get unstuck. Each time you create a knowledge base article, you empower users to solve problems independently. Around here, great technical writing isn’t a back-office function; it’s the backbone of our entire user experience.

- Contribute to our internal style guide, setting new standards for readability, accessibility, and tone across all technical content.
- Your influence will reach thousands of users every week, ensuring our products are both approachable and reliable, regardless of the complexity of the technology.
Your Day-to-Day Environment
Forget isolated cubicles and endless bureaucracy. Here, you’ll find a collaborative, remote-first culture where writers, engineers, and designers work side by side—even from miles apart. Your typical day might start with a quick sync on Zoom, followed by a few focused hours of drafting in Notion, and real-time collaboration over Slack. We move quickly, but you’ll always have the space to focus deeply and deliver work you’re proud of.
You’ll be part of a team that values clarity over flash, empathy over ego, and shared wins above individual credit. Feedback flows in every direction—and so do opportunities to shape our growing library of technical resources.
