Runtime is partnering with a VC-backed DevSecOps company to hire a Technical Writer into their documentation team.

Their platform sits at the heart of how enterprise engineering teams build and secure software, and their documentation is one of the main reasons customers choose them. This hire is about keeping that bar high as they scale.

What you'll be doing

Owning documentation for specific product areas, working directly with engineers to understand features before they ship

Writing guides and best-practice content for a developer audience

Reviewing and publishing contributions from others, and managing the product changelog

Partnering with product, customer success and sales to spot where docs fall short and fix them

Prioritising your own content backlog: what's now, next and later

What they're looking for

5+ years of technical writing, ideally for software developers

Comfortable with docs-as-code, Markdown, HTML and git-based workflows

Working familiarity with package managers, registries or DevOps tooling (npm, Docker, Maven, Terraform or similar)

Clear, precise communicator who keeps asking engineers "why" until it clicks

Why it's worth a look

Remote-friendly across the UK & Ireland

Well-funded, fast-growing business on a strong growth trajectory

Small, high-calibre team where docs are treated as part of the product, not an afterthought
