What You Will Do…
We believe speed to get to hello world is as important to our business as building innovative products are. Often the first way a developer learns about our solutions is by googling and finding a great step by step tutorial, a well-written get-started guide, or a great simple example they can copy and get up and running quickly.
As a talented Technical Content Writer, you will make it as simple as possible for developers who are just starting their search for document solutions to find and get started with our tools. You will create engaging and informative technical content, including tutorials, user guides, and marketing materials, with a strong focus on SEO and targeting a specific developer audience. Your ability to break down complex technical ideas and convey them in a clear and concise manner will be key to your success. The Technical Writer will ensure all content aligns with the company’s objectives and brand standards.
In this impactful role, you will:
- Produce in-depth technical articles and tutorials for our blog and other developer-focused channels.
- Simplify intricate technical topics into accessible and compelling content for marketing initiatives.
- Develop strategies and tactics for effective communication by assessing marketing and promotional needs.
- Craft marketing communications that align with company goals and optimize for search engine performance.
- Edit and review content to maintain clarity, consistency, and adherence to brand guidelines.
- Collaborate with developers, product managers, and the marketing team to deliver top-quality content.
- Keep up-to-date with industry developments, best practices in technical writing, SEO, LLMO, and marketing communications.
The ideal candidate is a doer. A person with high self-initiative to make an impact immediately. A strategic thinker that can think holistically about how we increase brand awareness in the developer community; has high self-standards and ability to balance efficiency and quality in their work; is a team-player that puts improvement over ego; an individual that values progress over perfection and has a passion for marketing to developers.
Qualifications:
