Technical writer for OpenAPI specifications

Write and maintain OpenAPI specifications

"I think most people just make the mistake that it should be simple to design simple things. In reality, the effort required to design something is inversely proportional to the simplicity of the result."

-Roy Thomas Fielding

Overview

LinkORB Engineering is looking to expand our global team of remote technology professionals and currently hiring for a technical writer. The technical writing team loves writing content for internal and external audiences to:

  • Improve the onboarding experience for new team members
  • Align teams around technical standards and best practices
  • Share and educate on the use of historical and emerging technologies at LinkORB
  • Promote LinkORB’s open source contributions

If this sounds interesting to you, we are looking for technical writers who:

  • Enjoy and understand bringing order and clarity to complex technical topics
  • Can put themselves in the shoes of someone undertaking a technical task and consider:
    • What they will want and need to know
    • What they won’t want and need to know
    • How to blend technical concepts and a conversational tone
    • When to go deep and when to keep things high level
    • When a picture is worth a thousand words
    • How to structure and order information for when someone is skimming versus reading intently
  • Take the initiative to propose creative solutions
  • Communicate proactively when assistance is needed

If this is how you work, we’d like to hear from you!
