MuleSoft is looking for an experienced, talented, and motivated Staff Technical Writer to produce high-quality technical content for developers or DevOps engineers.

Phrases such as "topic-based," "Google-ready," "developer-focused," "task-oriented," and "component documentation" flow naturally whenever you talk about your work. You are unafraid to ask questions because you love to learn about complex technologies. If you are a problem-solver who can deliver quality content in a demanding environment under tight deadlines, then this might be the perfect opportunity to take your career to the next level on a small, agile writing team at a fast-growing company.

12 Months

• You demonstrate expertise in one or more of MuleSoft's technologies and know how our customers use them.
• You have a reputation for writing trusted guidance and have built a strong working relationship with Engineering stakeholders to draft, review, and publish content.

• You have evaluated one or more documentation sets, implemented organizational and structural changes, and taken ownership of the process of peer, editorial, and technical reviews of your content.

What You'll Need to be Successful
