iStaff is hiring: Technical Writer in Annapolis
iStaff, Annapolis, MD, United States
A fast‑growing tech organization is building a scalable, AI‑forward IT services platform for regulated industries — and with growth comes complexity. This role owns how knowledge is captured, structured, taught, and reused across the entire company.
You’ll build the systems that turn scattered expertise into:
• Clear operational guidance
• Faster onboarding
• Reliable audit‑ready documentation
• AI‑searchable, AI‑usable intelligence
This is a hands‑on, architecture‑level role — not just writing pages. You’ll shape internal documentation standards, training programs, and how AI tools consume organizational knowledge. Expect close collaboration with engineering, operations, leadership, and platform teams.
Key Responsibilities
• Knowledge Architecture: Design and maintain the company’s internal knowledge framework across technical, operational, and compliance domains.
• Documentation Standards: Define templates, taxonomy, versioning, and governance.
• Training & Enablement: Build and evolve internal training programs; create onboarding paths for technical and operational teams.
• Technical Documentation: Produce and maintain architecture diagrams, SOPs, runbooks, and escalation paths.
• AI Enablement: Structure content for AI retrieval, copilots, and automation workflows.
• Compliance Support: Maintain documentation that supports audits, controls, and regulatory requirements.
Required Experience
• 5+ years in knowledge management, technical documentation, enablement, or systems documentation
• Experience designing documentation systems (not just writing content)
• Background supporting technical teams (IT, cloud, security, SaaS, MSP, etc.)
Strong Pluses
• Experience building internal training programs or academies
• Familiarity with IT operations or regulated environments
• Experience with wikis, LMS platforms, or documentation frameworks
• Comfort working with AI/automation tools
