About the Job

The Spectro Cloud Documentation & Education team is looking for a Senior Technical Writer to join our experienced team of technical writers and education engineers. We are looking for someone with a strong technical background to contribute to our documentation and provide the best user experience with Palette, our Kubernetes management platform.

As a Technical Writer, you will focus on creating user-friendly content that meets our customers’ needs and concerns. In your day-to-day, you will work closely with developers, engineers, and other technical staff to understand and document the technology and software that we build at Spectro Cloud. You will create reference materials, diagrams, and how-tos to help our practitioners gain a deeper understanding of the product. We believe in team and individual ownership, so you will work alongside other team members to build expertise in a product area.

We are a technical product, so we are looking for individuals who are comfortable with developer workflows and using the same tools as developers: git, Kubernetes, command-line interfaces, GitHub, containers, Docker, cloud providers, and Terraform.

Due to federal data access requirements tied to specific responsibilities, only U.S. citizens are eligible for this role.

• Collaborate closely with product managers, developers, engineers, QA, and UX to gather and validate technical information, clarify complex functionality, and stay aligned with evolving product roadmaps.

• Author technical blogs, release notes, and long-form content that explain product innovations and industry trends, supporting Spectro Cloud’s developer engagement.

• Champion user-first documentation practices by advocating for accessible, inclusive, and task-oriented content

• Define and maintain content standards, templates, and voice/tone guidelines to ensure consistency across documentation.

• Mentor and support junior or mid-level technical writers, providing feedback on their work, sharing best practices, and helping them develop their technical and editorial skills, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning.

• Refactor and enhance documentation information architecture to improve content organization, navigation, and discoverability across the Docs site.

• Take ownership of high-impact documentation projects end-to-end, including planning, coordination, writing, and review.
