Your primary mission will be to document our product with clarity and precision for our global customers.

• Configure and operate our software in various test environments to ensure documentation is accurate, complete, and effective.
• Work directly with engineers and product managers to understand new features, functionality, and technical specifications before they are released.
• Use and document APIs and integrations to provide comprehensive guidance for developers and system administrators.
• Identify and report software bugs, UI/UX issues, and gaps in functionality discovered during the documentation process.
  
  

Writing & Content Creation:

• Write, edit, and maintain high-quality technical documentation, including user guides, tutorials, API references, quick-start guides, and release notes.
• Develop clear, concise, and accurate content for our three core audiences: Service Providers, Contact Center Administrators, and Agents/Supervisors.
• Create screenshots and other visual aids to supplement written documentation.
• Ensure all content is written in clear English suitable for high-quality automatic translation.
  
  

Process & Strategy:

• Help manage the documentation lifecycle from planning and authoring to publishing and maintenance.
• Collaborate with the customer success and support teams to identify common customer pain points that can be solved with better documentation.
• Contribute to the content roadmap and identify areas for improvement and new content needs.

• 3+ years of experience as a technical writer, documentation specialist, or a similar role for a software product (SaaS preferred).
• Proven hands-on experience installing, configuring, and using enterprise software
• Precise English written communication, with the ability to convey complex ideas in simple language.
• Experience working collaboratively with software engineering, product management, and QA teams.
• A portfolio of writing samples that demonstrates your ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly and concisely.

• Basic scripting ability (e.g., Bash, Python) and can call an API.
  
  

Ideal Additional Skills:

• Direct experience in a Quality Assurance (QA), software testing, or support engineering role.
• Experience documenting REST APIs using tools like Swagger/OpenAPI or Postman.
• Experience with “docs-as-code” workflows (e.g., using Markdown, reStructuredText, Sphinx, MkDocs).
• Familiarity with the Linux operating system.
  
  

Salary and Benefits:

• Competitive compensation
• Corporate stock options
• 401K
• Fast-paced, varied environment
