Remote Technical Writer Jobs in Colorado

Set the Stage for Clarity and Impact

Have you ever turned chaos into clarity—rewriting jargon-heavy technical docs so anyone, anywhere, could use them? Here, your words shape user experience, drive adoption, and bridge the distance between product creators and everyday people. We’re seeking a remote technical writer who understands that clear communication isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s the engine of progress for teams spread across the globe. If you can transform complex workflows into approachable guides and support engineers in rolling out features that reach thousands, this opportunity is designed for you.

How You’ll Make a Difference

You’re not just capturing product specs or “making docs pretty.” Every page you write is an entry point for someone new. Your deep dives with engineers, product managers, and support help turn ideas into smooth, user-friendly documentation. The knowledge you distill will drive adoption, reduce support tickets, and empower users to get the most out of their technology.

• Translate technical requirements and engineering updates into clear, actionable guides that users can easily understand and follow.
• Shape onboarding experiences—your documentation helps new users and teammates hit the ground running.
• Interview product owners and developers to extract the “why” behind every feature, then explain it in language that clicks with both power users and beginners.
• Your work cuts through the noise: You’ll draft, edit, and refine knowledge bases, API references, and release notes with impact in mind.
• Partner with support, design, and engineering to ensure consistency and accuracy across all user-facing materials.
• Your insights from usability testing and honest user feedback will inform what you write, keeping documentation fresh, relevant, and easy to use.

What Drives You—and Us

You thrive when you’re at the center of information flow. Whether you’re building out a robust API doc, rewriting process workflows, or updating release notes, you’re motivated by the real-world impact your work has. We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely and ship quality.

• Your knack for simplifying complex systems makes you the “translator” everyone relies on—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or comments in GitHub.
• You get energy from collaborating across product and engineering, knowing your contributions make it easier for everyone to get things done.
• You enjoy figuring out how to make documentation scalable, discoverable, and accessible for thousands of remote users.
• The thrill of shipping content that improves with every feedback cycle keeps you moving forward.
