- We're a tight-knit, geographically distributed team redefining data security in the cloud. Our current documentation doesn't quite capture the brilliance of our product (or the personalities behind it). That's where you, the freelance technical writer in Wichita, KS, come in. We need someone with a knack for distilling complexity into engaging, user-friendly guides, APIs, and tutorials. This is a fully remote opportunity, giving you the flexibility to contribute from your home office or that cool Wichita coffee shop you've been meaning to try. If you excel in collaborative environments and are ready to play a pivotal role, keep reading. **Your Creative Challenge** As our go-to technical documentation wizard, you'll own the documentation process from start to finish. Think crafting elegant user guides, writing crystal-clear API documentation, and designing interactive tutorials that make our product a breeze to use. The ultimate goal? Ensuring that users, from novice developers to seasoned architects, understand and adore our platform. **Skills That Shine** * A professional journey steeped in technical writing or a closely related domain, demonstrating a strong command of technical terminology and documentation best practices. * Proficiency with documentation tools (Swagger, ReadMe.io, MadCap Flare, etc.) and version control systems (Git). * Ability to craft concise and easily digestible documentation for a diverse audience. * A knack for collaboration and communication, working harmoniously with developers, product managers, and support teams. * Familiarity with cloud computing, data security, or related tech stacks a definite plus. **Day-to-day Activities** * Translate intricate technical details into simplified user manuals, guides, and API documentation. * Collaborate closely with our product and engineering teams to gain an in-depth understanding of our offerings. * Regularly update and improve existing documentation to reflect new features and improvements. * Participate in product development meetings to provide insights on documentability and user experience. * Stay abreast of industry trends and best practices in technical writing. **Agency Life Perks** We understand the importance of flexibility and work-life harmony. Enjoy a fully remote work setup that allows you to craft your ideal work environment. Plus, a competitive hourly rate, professional development opportunities, and the chance to leave your mark on a fast-growing startup. We have unlimited PTO and ask that people take a minimum of 2 weeks of time off per year. **A Few More Things** While not essential, a portfolio showcasing your exceptional technical writing skills would be highly valued. Bonus points if you have experience contributing to open-source projects or a personal tech blog. We operate within an Agile methodology, integrating collaboration in Slack, Jira, Confluence, and Monday.com. The ability to document with these applications is ideal. If this sounds like the right role for you, apply today! We would love to hear from you and learn more about how you will excel in this opportunity.Wichita, KSRemoteContractor$45 - $65 per hourTechnical Writing & Content Marketing16 days ago
