  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather technical details, identify documentation needs, and ensure content accuracy.
  • Define and enforce content standards, voice, and style guidelines to maintain consistency across the knowledge base.
  • Analyze usage patterns and feedback to improve content relevance, accessibility, and structure.
  • Work with internal teams to continuously evolve our documentation tools and infrastructure, integrating new technologies where needed.
  • Contribute to the overall content strategy, including content planning, versioning, and localization where applicable.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of technical writing experience, ideally in a security product environment.
  • Proven ability to write user-centric documentation for different audiences and personas (e.g., technical, semi-technical, business users).
  • Strong grasp of content architecture, UX writing principles, and documentation design best practices.
  • Experience with tools such as Markdown, Git, Mintlify, Swagger/OpenAPI, and Confluence.
  • Familiarity with content management systems, version control, and agile product development workflows.
  • Understanding and ability to explain complex technical concepts simply and clearly.
