# Technical Content Writer

## **About Airbyte**

[Airbyte](http://airbyte.io) is the upcoming open-source standard for EL(T). We enable data teams to replicate data from applications, APIs, and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and other destinations. We believe only an open-source approach can solve the problem of data integration, as it enables us to cover the long tail of integrations while enabling teams to adapt prebuilt connectors to their needs.

Airbyte is remote friendly, with most of the team still based in the Silicon Valley. We’re fully open as a company. Our **[company handbook](https://handbook.airbyte.io)**, **[culture & values](https://handbook.airbyte.io/company/culture-and-values)**, **[strategy](https://handbook.airbyte.io/strategy/strategy)** and **[roadmap](../project-overview/roadmap.md)** are open to all.

We raised a total of $31.2M by some of the world's [top investors](./#our-investors) (Benchmark, Accel, YCombinator, co-founders or CEOs of Segment, Elastic, MongoDB, Cloudera, etc.) and believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome and let our product bring the users, rather than an outbound sales engine with cold calls.

## **Description**

As our team is small and growing, your role as a technical writer will be multi-faceted, but will aim toward these goals:

* Empower developers and burgeoning contributors to produce solid content
* Developing and maintaining a clear and concise style guide for all published content
* Retaining polish on all published content

Since this role works very closely with the community, you will be directly engaging with authors a lot, who will rely on your rhetorical and grammatical expertise to express their technical findings in the most powerful way possible. Naturally, having technical understanding of the concepts will help you move quickly here.

## **What you will do here**

* Author engaging technical content.
* Be the primary editor for our blog and documentation, with support from DevRel.
* Find and curate topics that would be interesting to our data engineering community.
* Optimize our publications for visibility and impact.
* Maintain our website’s content and connector catalog.
* Find unique ways to encourage community contribution to documentation.

## **What we’re looking for**

* Very strong control over the English language, with published examples to back it up.
* Verbal communication that matches your written expertise.
* Experience with community management.
* Strong understanding of ELT/ETL concepts, preferably in an applied role.
* You can read code.
* Experience with SEO.
* Experience in editing written content.
* You share [our values](https://handbook.airbyte.io/company/culture-and-values)

## **Bonus points**

* 1-2 years of applied programming experience.
* 1-2 years of technical writing experience in the data integration space.
* Experience with open-source communities.

## **Location**

Remote but compatible with US timezones.

## **We provide**

* **Flexible work environment as fully remote** - we don’t look at when you log in, log out or how much time you work. We trust you, it’s the only way remote can actually work.
* **[Unlimited vacation policy](https://handbook.airbyte.io/people/time-off)** with mandatory minimum time off - so you can fit work around your life.
* **[Co-working space stipend](https://handbook.airbyte.io/people/expense-policy#work-space)** - we provide everyone with $200/month to use on a coworking space of their choice, if any.
* **[Parental leave](https://handbook.airbyte.io/people/time-off#parental-leave)** \(for both parents, after one year spent with the company\) - so those raising families can do so while still working for us.
* **Open book policy** - we reimburse books that employees want to purchase for their professional and career development.
* **Continuous learning / training policy** - we sponsor the conferences and training programs you feel would add to your development in the company.
* **Health insurance** for those from countries that do not provide this freely. Through Savvy in the US, which means you can choose the insurance you want and will receive a stipend from the company.
* **401k** for the US employees.
* **Sponsored visas** for those who need them
* We'll give you a corporate card for expenses. Our philosophy is Freedom & Responsibiility. We trust you, just do what's best for the company.

## **Applying**

Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with a link to your LinkedIn / Resume / GitHub \(optional\).

You don't need to include a cover letter, but just a paragraph how you found us and what makes you a great person to join our founding team!
