You'll play a pivotal role bridging the gap between our cutting-edge AI technology and our diverse user base. If crafting clear, concise, and compelling content to empower both technical and non-technical audiences excites you, this role could be your next step. **The Challenge: Conveying Complex Tech Simply** Your mission is to translate complex AI concepts into user-friendly language. Your work directly impacts the understanding and adoption of our AI writing tools. It's not about simply documenting features; it's about crafting a compelling narrative around the potential of AI to empower everyone to write better. **Areas of Focus** * **Documentation Refinement:** You'll improve our existing knowledge base with a focus on accessibility and clarity. * **User Guide Creation:** Develop step-by-step tutorials to help users quickly master our tools. * **API Documentation:** Build detailed, well-organized documentation for developers looking to integrate our AI writing API into their systems. Attention to precision and detail are essential in the case, and some programming knowledge (for instance, a rudimentary acquaintance with Python and Java) would prove helpful, if not completely mandatory. * **Onboarding Materials:** Craft welcome guides, tooltips, and tutorial videos that drive rapid user engagement. * **Blog Posts and Thought Leadership Pieces:** You will have to draft various posts from introductory materials, for novice users of AI-powered writing, to more technical in-depth analysis. * **Integration SEO**: Implement current search engine optimization principles and tactics to broaden distribution and effectiveness. **Skills That Sparkle** * A solid grasp of technical concepts and terminology, ideally related to AI or machine learning. * Exceptional writing and communication capabilities with a focus on conveying technical information clearly. * Previous professional involvement related to user guide drafting, API document creation, and maintenance, or another content creation role. * An ability to easily integrate criticism, comments and concerns into your professional performance.

However, it is advised that you get comfortable using software such as Jira or Trello for organization and project management. Basic comfort with using Notion and/or other note-taking apps is an equally important consideration, as that might be requested in order to create a solid content base. * Ability to work independently while thriving in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. **Bonus Points If:** * Prior experience in the AI or SaaS industry. * A degree or certification in technical writing or a related field. * Familiarity with SEO principles and content marketing best practices. **Why You Will Like Working with Us** * **Remote work environment**: You'll be able to work and live in Anaheim, or anywhere in the United States, and abroad! * **Flexible part-time hours**: Part-time schedule with adjustable working hours; 20-30 hours each week. * **Competitive hourly rate**: $25-$35 per hour, based on experience. * **Opportunity to make your mark:** You will join a dynamic team that is passionate about making technology available for everyone.
