  • Demonstrate working knowledge of key terminology in one or more programming languages.
  • Are detail-oriented and deadline-driven, consistently delivering high-quality work and proactively seeking out the answers you need.
  • Communicate and collaborate professionally and efficiently with a geographically distributed team.

Responsibilities

  • Keep pace with product development teams, using style guidance to produce industry-leading API and programming content that flows logically and tells a cohesive story.

  • 3+ years of experience as a technical writer for a developer audience at an Agile software company
  • Proven experience writing detailed, user-centric API and programming documentation in a fast-paced environment
  • Exceptional ability to grasp and communicate interrelationships between topics, presenting information hierarchically in a logical, meaningful, and consistent manner
  • A user-focused perspective backed by experience and technical accuracy
  • Proficiency in Markdown or another markup language, like HTML, and Swagger
  • Knowledge of one or more programming languages (Java, Go, Python, Typescript) and OpenAPI
  • Ability to handle and prioritize multiple focus areas and tasks while maintaining a high-velocity and high-quality output
  • Commitment to adhering to documented standards and styles
  • Enthusiasm for cross-functional collaboration with people at all levels of an organization
  • Ability to work in US time zones (ideally Central Standard Time)
  • A strong writing portfolio demonstrating some or all of these skills

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
