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
