Full Time
Engineering
We'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.
What We're Looking For
Must-have:
• Native English speaker with exceptional written communication skills
• 3+ years of experience writing technical documentation for developer tools infrastructure or cloud-native products
• Strong understanding of Kubernetes Docker and cloud-native ecosystems
• Experience with docs-as-code workflows (Git Markdown CI/CD for docs)
• A track record of owning documentation not just contributing to it
Nice-to-have:
• Experience with API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
• Familiarity with Traefik or similar reverse proxies / API gateways
• Ability to read and understand code (Go preferred)
• Open-source community experience
• Previous experience in a remote-first company
What You'll Get
• Remote-first culture
• Direct impact on one of the most widely-used open-source projects in the world
• A team that values ownership honesty and getting things done
• Opportunity to work at the intersection of open-source and enterprise software
