Busy Silicon Valley software technical writing consultant needs to offload parts of multiple clients' documentation projects. You'll be briefed on the context, tools, audience, scope, and priorities, supplied with recordings of SME meetings, and work to a tight schedule. Apply your computer science/software programming experience, demonstrably excellent developer doc writing skills, and willingness to put business first, then deliver quality work when promised. You'll be taught the rest. This is a rare chance to do great developer doc while working 100 percent offsite.

Job title:
Contract Technical Writer, software developer doc; $50/hr 1099 (~$42/hr W2), part/flex-time, 100% remote/WFH (CRT-612)

Job code:
CRT-612

Compensation:
$50/hr on a 1099 basis if you're a bonafide business, otherwise ~$42/hr W2 (with available 401(k) plan, expense reimbursement, and self-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance). For non-US nationals, compensation is possible using US dollar-denominated Amazon gift cards.

Location:
Home office, entirely offsite, telecommute, work from home/WFH, remote. Flex time. Must be reachable during Silicon Valley business hours (US Pacific time).

Audience:
Software developers for a variety of complex open-source products

Tasks:
As directed, contribute to original developer-oriented software documentation such as API references, quick-starts, and tutorials. Project Lead is a technical writing consultant with a Ph.D. in Computer Science who values character, integrity, and trustworthiness as much as quality work, reliability, and productivity. This role requires less initiative and more adherence/obedience than most senior roles; if you won't follow directions, please don't apply.

Tools:
Vary by client. Usually open-source tools like Markdown and Git, static site generators (like Hugo, Sphinx, and Jekyll), and autogenerated content publishing tools (like Readme.io, Developer Program, Swagger/Open API Spec). You must work on a recent model Mac; a Windows PC isn't sufficient.
