Cockroach Labs is the creator of CockroachDB, the most highly evolved cloud-native, distributed SQL database on the planet that scales fast, survives anything, and thrives anywhere. We created CockroachDB to unshackle teams from the constraints of their database. Join us on our mission to enable every developer to build world-changing applications!
We're seeking a highly experienced technical writer to join our world-class Documentation team. You will own and drive the documentation strategy for CockroachDB deployment and operations across self-hosted and cloud environments, creating outstanding content that is essential to the success of our customers and teams.
Your experience with Linux systems, networking, security, cloud providers, and general system administration positions you to deeply understand our users' needs – whether they're running self-hosted CockroachDB or provisioning and managing Cloud clusters. You'll use this understanding to develop comprehensive documentation that spans how-to guides, tutorials, and reference materials.
As a senior member of the team, you'll share technical knowledge and drive documentation initiatives, working closely with engineers, product managers, enterprise architects, and others to align our content with user needs and company goals.
In your first 30 days, you’ll follow a custom onboarding plan authored by your manager, which includes Cockroach University course material, review of internal documentation, information sessions about our product and company, hands-on time with the product, and discussions with your manager and colleagues. We believe that it's important to take this first month to become familiar with our technology and our company, so you will use CockroachDB throughout this period and beyond.
During this initial onboarding, you will develop enough expertise to begin your first documentation project. You will also start to review and edit documentation written by other technical writers on the team. You’ll also get to know the product managers and engineering teams with whom you’ll work most closely, gaining an understanding of their focus and roadmaps.
Within about three months, you'll be fully integrated into the team, owning the docs roadmap for your area. You will also begin contributing to efforts related to documentation conventions, processes, and tools to help increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the team.
