Technical Writer - Docs Excellence

3+ years documenting complex technical spaces, including APIs, SDKs, or developer platforms, with a portfolio that shows real writing and editing craft.

Comfortable thinking beyond the page: you can design ontologies, metadata schemas, and structured information models.

A high-judgment editor who can spot hallucinations, inaccuracies, or structural gaps in automated drafts.

Fully fluent in Git, Markdown, and docs-as-code toolchains.

A practical, hands-on user of AI tools and LLMs to gather context and streamline documentation work.

Someone who asks why before executing. We value critical thinking and problem-solving as much as craft.

Comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and adapting to a fast-moving, evolving environment.

Experience with Postman, VS Code, or similar tools.

Basic ability to read code snippets (Java, Python, TypeScript) to verify API logic.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a solid, established company with a startup mindset, characterized by small teams, direct communication, and work on important challenges. We offer an environment of ownership and speed.
