Technical Writer

Technical WriterWe're looking for a Technical Writer who has a track record of owning docs, rather than just writing them. You'll be responsible for the full documentation lifecycle of Traefik and Traefik Hub: strategy, structure, content creation, and quality. You'll work closely with our other technical writer and our engineering team to turn complex cloud-native concepts into clear, accurate, developer-friendly documentation. This is not a "write what you're told" role. We need someone who can: Own the documentation strategy—Define what needs to be documented, how it should be structured, and in what order Write with authority—Produce clear, accurate, technically deep content about Kubernetes, Docker, API management, and cloud-native infrastructure Review and verify—Every piece of documentation must be tested against the actual product. We have zero tolerance for inaccuracy. Drive quality standards—Establish and maintain consistency in terminology, style, and structure across all documentation Collaborate with engineering—Work directly with developers to understand new features, architectural decisions, and implementation details Think developer-first—Our audience is infrastructure engineers and platform teams. Write for them, not for executives.
