Dropzone AI - Senior Technical Writer
Requirements
• 5+ years of technical writing experience for software products with a technical buyer, with at least 2 years documenting APIs, integrations, or infrastructure-adjacent products. • Docs-as-code fluency: Git, Markdown, and at least one static documentation framework such as Docusaurus, MkDocs, Mintlify, or equivalent. • Ability to read code and API specifications well enough to document them accurately and to notice when the implementation disagrees with the spec. • A portfolio that shows you can explain a complex system to a practitioner under time pressure, with structure and precision rather than volume. • Comfort interviewing engineers and product managers to extract what actually happened, and the persistence to keep asking until the answer is complete. • Strong editorial judgment: you know what to leave out, and you can defend it. • Experience owning a documentation set end to end, including information architecture and maintenance, not just individual articles. • A preference for focused ownership over distributed coordination. You do your best work deeply embedded in a product with a small, accountable team. • Early-stage startup mindset. You thrive on ambiguity and move with lightspeed execution • Being data-driven is part of your DNA. • Preferred • Preferred • Cybersecurity or security operations domain experience. Familiarity with SIEM, EDR, identity, and cloud security data sources is a strong plus. • Experience documenting AI or ML products, especially explaining model behavior, evidence, and limitations to non-specialist users. • Experience at Series A–C stage companies where you were the first or only documentation hire. • Experience with documentation analytics and using support ticket data to prioritize what to write. • Familiarity with structured authoring or content reuse systems. • Work Environment/Travel • We are a 100% remote company where you will work from your home with company-provided equipment to set you up for success. Semi-frequent travel to professional office settings and other events locally and nationally; some overnight travel expected.
Responsibilities
• Own the customer documentation platform: information architecture, authoring workflow, review process, publishing, and search. Make it easy to find, easy to maintain, and accurate on the day a release ships. • Write and maintain integration guides for every supported data source and alert source, in a repeatable template that a new integration can fill in a day. • Write admin and governance documentation for enterprise and MSSP customers: tenant management, access control, API keys, audit trail, and response action authorization. • Own the API reference and developer-facing docs, working with engineering to keep them generated from source where possible and hand-written where it matters. • Write release notes that tell customers what changed, why, who benefits, and what the known limitations are. Every customer-visible release ships with documentation, not after it. • Write the explanatory material that helps customers understand and govern AI-completed work: how investigations are structured, how evidence and uncertainty are presented, what the system does and does not do. • Partner with customer success and support to find where documentation gaps generate tickets, and close them. • Establish a style guide and docs-as-code workflow that engineers and PMs can contribute to without you as a bottleneck.
