Technical writer/SEO Content Engineer (SaaS / Developer Docs) REMOTE/NATIVE ENGL

Nalpeiron, Boulder, CO, United States


Overview
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A US, UK, OR NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER ONLY - do NOT apply if that's not the case, you will be rejected.

We are looking for a remote contractor (or full-time team member) to transform our technical documentation, written in GitBook (https://docs.nalpeiron.com), into a high-performing SEO acquisition channel.

This is not a traditional technical writing role - it requires structuring, optimizing, and expanding technical content to rank in search and AI-driven discovery (ChatGPT, Google SGE).

A person with a deep background in documentation, technical writing, and at least a good understanding of SEO (from a docs perspective).

It will require the use of AI tooling and the latest techniques to speed up the process and get better results.

This is a core role for us - you will be our

Docs Growth Owner , not just a technical writer.

YOU WILL BE WORKING WITH AN SEO AGENCY, so we are not expecting a seasoned SEO expert; we are more interested in docs/video expertise.

NOTE: Video is a large part of this job, creating compelling training and doc support videos for technical users.

You will own:

Development of high-quality docs - including video content, how-to articles, and case studies to make using our software products easier and to reduce support load.

KPI: organic traffic + rankings

Ownership of docs, SEO, and content >page 1

Ownership of AI placement, so the docs pages are recommended in all AI engines

Backlinking strategy between various properties

Opportunity to own our full docs process if this project is successful, i.e., technical writing and doc production

We will filter candidates by:

Thinking quality and use of the AI toolset

Structure and quality output (not just AI B.S. blurb)

Technical understanding of the messaging and ability to communicate technical concepts
