About the Role
We’re looking for a thoughtful and detail-oriented Technical Writer to help us create clear, client-facing documentation for a custom software application currently in development. This role is ideal for someone who can absorb complex functionality and translate it into accessible, well-structured content for non-technical users. You’ll work closely with our developers, designers, and project managers to ensure the documentation reflects the evolving MVP and supports successful client onboarding and use. If you have a knack for turning technical details into user-friendly documentation and enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, we’d love to hear from you!
Requirements
To excel in this role, you should demonstrate:
- Experience writing technical documentation for web applications or SaaS platforms
- Ability to create user guides, how-to documentation, and feature overviews with minimal oversight
- Strong written communication and organizational skills
- Ability to work iteratively and adapt content as the product evolves
Preferred Skills (Nice-to-Haves):
- Experience working with teams during early-stage or MVP development
- Understanding of basic software development concepts and terminology
- Experience writing documentation for medical software
- Familiarity with version control and Git-based workflows
- Light design or formatting skills to create clean, readable documentation
Key Responsibilities
- Draft and maintain user-facing documentation for a custom software product under active development.
- Collaborate with the team to understand new or changing features and document them clearly.
- Write onboarding and reference materials for clients that cover key workflows and functionality.
- Help define structure and best practices for organizing documentation.
- Adapt content as feedback is received and product functionality changes.
- Coordinate with the project team to identify areas where documentation is most needed.
What We Offer
- Flexible, fully remote position open to candidates worldwide.
- The chance to work on meaningful projects and build advanced solutions.
Our Hiring Process
- Introductory Call (30 minutes): A casual conversation to learn more about your background and writing experience
- Interview with Programodo’s Founders (60 minutes): A deeper discussion about your experience, and approach to technical writing
- Paid Writing Exercise (2–4 hours): A short documentation project based on real features.

We value individuality and excellence. To help us understand your unique capabilities, please include the following in your application:
- Cover Letter: Tell us about your experience writing technical documentation and why you’re excited about this role.
- Writing Samples: Include links or attachments demonstrating your documentation work (especially client-facing materials).
