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.
As a member of this team, you’ll create outstanding content that helps our customers succeed. You will develop and maintain documentation spanning the product areas of Security, Deployment, and Operations. You’ll plan and drive special projects, pair with other writers, and collaborate on projects with engineering teams, support, and product management.
Your wide-ranging experience and technical proficiency will enable you to collaborate with other highly talented colleagues to deliver comprehensive reference documentation, and instructive tutorials and how-to guides. At the same time, we’ll value your insightful feedback as we seek to continuously improve our product and processes
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.
Within about three months, you'll be fully integrated into the team, and work with one or two product managers and engineering teams to learn their product area and strategic focus. You will also begin contributing to efforts related to documentation conventions, processes, and tools to help increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the team.
