  • Working directly with the product development team to deeply understand our software and service functionality.
  • Participating in peer reviews to ensure documentation meets quality standards.
  • Continuously improving documentation based on user feedback and analytics.
  • Working with internal style guides and ensuring consistent documentation practices.
  • Contributing to overall documentation strategy and planning.
  • Designing and implementing documentation templates, ensuring a common framework.
  • Identifying areas to add useful content to the documentation, working to address gaps in service resources.
  • Contributing to improvements to processes to more smoothly provide documentation for end users.

What You Bring to the Table:

  • A solid understanding of software development lifecycle and technical concepts.
  • Demonstrated ability to write clearly and concisely for a technical audience.

  • Capability with content management systems (CMS) for publishing and maintaining documentation.
  • Hands-on expertise creating and maintaining API documentation.
  • Background in cybersecurity technologies (preferred).
  • The type of personality where no project is "too complex".
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines.

Perks of Working with Us:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package that aligns with your skills.
  • Comprehensive health insurance, including medical, dental, and vision coverage. Benefits kick in 30 days after employment!
  • Generous paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays to recharge and enjoy life.
  • Professional development opportunities to enhance your skills and grow your career. We pride ourselves on cultivating staff who learn new things daily.
  • Flexible work arrangements, including remote and hybrid options where available. This means that sometimes you may need to work on-site with our team and sometimes work from the comforts of your home!
  • A collaborative and supportive work environment where your contributions are valued.
  • Opportunity to make a real impact on our customers' success.
  • On-site perks including free snacks and drinks, employee lunch monthly.
  • Team-building activities and social events that make you actually like your colleagues.
