Department: Product / Documentation Reports to: VP, Product Location: Remote Type: Full time maternity cover
We're looking for a Technical Writer to join our Product team on a full-time, remote maternity cover. You'll be the person who turns what our Product Managers and Engineers build into documentation customers can use: help center articles, user guides, release notes, API docs, and in-app content.
The day-to-day is hands-on. You'll get into features before they ship, interview the people who know them best, and own each piece from first draft through publishing and upkeep. You'll also keep existing docs accurate as the product changes, and work with Support and Customer Success to fix the gaps customers keep running into.
You'll report to our VP, Product, and you'll have room to shape how we do things, from our style guide and templates to how the help center is organised. This is a good fit if you're self-directed, enjoy making complicated things simple, and can keep several projects moving at once.
Write and maintain user guides, help center articles, release notes, API documentation, and in-app content
Partner with Product Managers and Engineers to understand new features ahead of release and translate them into customer-facing documentation
Interview subject matter experts (SMEs) to extract and structure technical information
Own documentation projects end-to-end — from planning and drafting through review, publishing, and maintenance
Audit and refresh existing documentation to keep it accurate as the product evolves
Work within (and help evolve) our style guide, templates, and content standards
Collaborate with Support and Customer Success to identify documentation gaps based on customer questions and tickets
Contribute to information architecture decisions for the docs site/help center
Use analytics and customer feedback to measure content effectiveness and prioritise updates
Occasionally support other content needs — release announcements, internal knowledge base articles, onboarding materials
2+ years of professional technical writing experience, ideally in a SaaS, software, or technology environment
Proven ability to explain complex technical concepts simply for a non-technical or semi-technical audience
Strong written English — grammar, clarity, tone, and structure
Experience working directly with engineers and/or product managers to gather technical information
Experience using AI writing/authoring tools to accelerate drafting or content audits
Familiarity with a documentation/help center platform (e.g., Confluence, Zendesk Guide, ReadMe, GitBook, ClickHelp, MadCap Flare, or similar)
Basic understanding of software development concepts (APIs, releases, bug vs. feature, staging vs. production)
Experience with version control or structured content workflows (e.g., Git, Markdown, or a CMS-based review process)
A strong portfolio of published documentation samples
Self-directed and organised — comfortable managing multiple documentation projects and deadlines simultaneously
A background or interest in information architecture and taxonomy design
Familiarity with Markdown, HTML/CSS basics, or static site generators (Docusaurus, Hugo, Jekyll)
Experience with DITA/XML or structured authoring/single-sourcing
Experience documenting REST or GraphQL APIs, including reading OpenAPI/Swagger specs
Exposure to localization/translation workflows for multi-language documentation
Basic screen recording/video or GIF creation skills for tutorials
Experience using AI writing/authoring tools to accelerate drafting or content audits
Familiarity with UX writing or in-app microcopy
Experience with content analytics (e.g., Google Analytics, docs-specific analytics) to inform prioritisation
Prior experience in a fast-growing startup or scale-up environment
Basic scripting or command-line comfort (helpful for docs-as-code workflows)
