About the Role
We're looking for a Technical Writer to join our product experience team and contribute to the documentation experience across our products. You'll work closely with subject matter experts, translating complex technical content into clear, accurate, and useful guides that help our customers build, operate, and get the most out of Blue Robotics products.
Great guides are a core part of the Blue Robotics product experience. As a technical writer, you'll be directly shaping how our customers understand and use our products. This role isn't for someone who will just follow a product spec and write steps - the right person will think deeply about how people learn, how to sequence information, and how to make complex things feel approachable and even enjoyable. You'll bring creative ideas to raise the bar on what a product guide can be.
We use AI as part of our workflow, and you should be comfortable using it to support research, editing, and iteration. But our guides need to feel human. We're not looking for someone who relies on AI to do the writing; you should be able to create clear, well-structured content on your own.
