We’re seeking a stellar freelance technical writer with a background and strong knowledge of data infrastructure and engineering workflows. You’ll help communicate our client's vision of 'shift-left data quality' — ensuring developers and data teams work seamlessly together by catching data issues early in the software development lifecycle.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in a developer-facing role such as DevRel, developer advocacy, software engineering, or data engineering.
• 2+ years of technical writing experience.
• Strong understanding of developer workflows (Git, testing, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, observability tools).
• Familiarity with data engineering challenges (schema drift, data lineage, pipeline breakage, data quality testing).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience writing for developer audiences through blogs, documentation, tutorials, or newsletters.
• Comfort interviewing engineers and SMEs to create content that reflects real-world developer and data team challenges.
• SEO knowledge: able to search-optimize content while prioritizing developer trust and content quality.
• Strong time management and organizational skills.
• Positive, collaborative mindset.

Nice To Haves

• Portfolio of developer-oriented technical writing is required.
• Experience with open-source documentation or community blog contributions.

Responsibilities

• Translate complex concepts like data contracts, schema evolution, static analysis, and CI/CD integration into digestible, actionable content for software engineers and data teams.
• Create blog posts and thought-leadership content demonstrating how the platform improves data quality, reliability, and collaboration.
• Develop content that bridges the gap between developer and data practitioner audiences (e.g., data engineers, DevOps, platform teams, analytics leaders).
• Adhere closely to the client’s brand voice and messaging guidelines while making content engaging, authoritative, and community-friendly.
• Write for developer-oriented channels (e.g., blog, Substack-style newsletter, GitHub-adjacent content, technical guides).
• Stay current on emerging developer tools, data infrastructure trends, and 'shift-left' practices in quality, governance, and observability.
• Collaborate with SMEs, engineers, and client stakeholders to capture technical accuracy and product nuance.
• Ensure all content meets high editorial standards for clarity, accuracy, and credibility.
• Suggest optimizations for improving content performance (SEO, readability, developer engagement).
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines, delivering consistent quality at scale.
• Conduct thorough research to understand client products, target audiences, and industry context, ensuring content is in-depth and insightful.
• Use our internal briefs to structure and outline articles clearly and effectively.
• Incorporate keywords and SEO best practices without compromising readability or quality.

• Adapt your writing style to match the voice and tone of different client brands.
• Work closely with editors to revise and refine content based on feedback.
• Consistently meet deadlines and communicate proactively with the editorial lead regarding progress, questions, or blockers.
