Join the mission as a Technical Writer, Product. You’ll own and continuously improve our help documentation, release notes, and in-product guidance so customers can successfully adopt and operate a complex cybersecurity platform. This role reports to the Director, Product and Experience and partners closely with Product Management, Engineering, Support, and Customer Success.

Our platform supports real-world security workflows that are data-dense, configuration-heavy, and often permissions-driven. Clear, accurate, and discoverable documentation is essential to reduce friction, improve adoption, and help customers move quickly and confidently.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the help center end-to-end: Plan, write, edit, publish, and maintain a structured documentation set (information architecture, taxonomy, navigation, templates, and content standards).
  • Release notes ownership: Manage release notes from intake through publication—partnering with Product/Engineering to ensure accuracy, clarity, and customer relevance; maintain a consistent release-note format and archive.
  • Docs-as-code in GitHub: Write and manage documentation in Markdown using PR-based workflows (reviews, versioning, branching, release alignment).
  • Write for multiple audiences: Create task-based guides for end users, admins, and technical stakeholders; maintain internal enablement/process documentation as needed.
  • Document complex enterprise workflows: Translate technical behavior and edge cases into clear, actionable guidance (configurations, roles/permissions, troubleshooting, examples).
  • In-product guidance and user comms: Build and maintain Pendo guides/tooltips/walkthroughs and related user communications to support onboarding and feature adoption.
  • API documentation support: Contribute to and maintain API documentation (auth, endpoints, examples, errors) in partnership with Engineering; ensure docs reflect real behavior and versioning.
  • Quality, consistency, and accessibility: Uphold editorial standards and terminology; ensure documentation is inclusive and accessible (clear structure, headings, alt text, readable tables, link hygiene).
  • Insights-driven improvements: Use analytics (search terms, article performance, guide engagement), Support/CS inputs, and recurring questions to prioritize updates that reduce friction and repeat tickets.
  • Tooling and automation (including AI): Use modern tooling (linters, link checkers, doc build tooling) and AI-assisted writing/review tools to improve speed and quality—while maintaining human review, accuracy, and security.
  • Work management: Intake and prioritize requests via Jira (or similar), communicate timelines, and deliver documentation tied to releases and customer needs.
  • UX writing partnership: Collaborate with Product Design on microcopy (labels, empty states, errors) for consistency and clarity across the product.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Experience: 3+ years writing product documentation for enterprise SaaS (help centers, product guides, release documentation).
  • Docs-as-code: Hands-on Git-based documentation workflow experience (PRs, reviews, Markdown).
  • Technical aptitude: Ability to understand and document complex systems by partnering with engineers and SMEs.
  • Audience-focused writing: Proven ability to write clear, task-based content for both technical and non-technical users, including examples and troubleshooting.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Experience working with Product, Engineering, Support, and CS to deliver accurate, timely documentation.
  • Execution: Experience using Jira (or similar) to manage requests, priorities, and deadlines.
  • Editorial rigor: Strong editing skills; ability to maintain consistency across terminology, structure, and style.
  • Work Samples: Please submit 2–3 writing samples (links or PDFs) that demonstrate customer-facing product documentation such as:
    • Help center articles / product guides
    • Release notes
    • (Optional) API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger, endpoint docs, examples)

Samples should be publicly shareable or sanitized/redacted. Please do not submit proprietary or confidential materials.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Cybersecurity domain exposure: Vulnerability management, pentesting workflows, attack surface management, permissions-heavy admin tools, or similar.
  • Pendo: Experience building in-app guides, onboarding flows, resource centers, and customer communications.
  • API docs depth: OpenAPI/Swagger, Postman, SDK docs, developer portals, versioning practices.
  • Docs platforms: Docusaurus, MkDocs, GitHub Pages, static site generators, search/analytics tooling.
  • AI-enabled tooling: Practical experience using AI assistants for drafting, rewriting, summarization, and style consistency (with a strong accuracy/review mindset).
  • Lightweight multimedia: Short how-to videos (e.g., Synthesia or similar) if needed.
