Technical writers play an instrumental role at Seismic, delivering accurate, user-focused documentation for new product releases and updates, and maintaining our existing documentation to the highest standards. Writers on the Technical Communications team work within a centralized model with shared governance, tools, and processes. Our team is embedded in the Product & Engineering organization, enabling close collaboration with product managers, designers, and engineers. We support product teams based in the US, China, and India. To meet growing demand, we’ve recently established a new arm of our documentation team in India. We’re looking for experienced technical writers who can work independently, take full ownership of their projects, and contribute to a high-performing global team.
