Technical Writer

We're looking for a Technical Writer to own the documentation experience for Nabu Casa Hardware and Cloud. This is a high ownership, high impact role: you'll be the primary person responsible for making our products accessible to a global community of users and developers - from first time setup guides to deep API and integration documentation. You'll work directly with engineers to translate technical complexity into content that empowers users to succeed independently, without needing to raise a support ticket.

Our community is technically sophisticated and values accuracy and clarity above all. This role requires someone who can earn the trust of engineers and users alike.

• Own the end to end documentation experience for Nabu Casa Hardware and Cloud, ensuring content is accurate, up to date, and discoverable
• Plan and deliver documentation for new features, integrations, and releases in sync with the product shipping cycle
• Work directly with engineers to research and verify technical content, reducing the documentation burden on the engineering team
• Audit and improve existing documentation continuously - flagging outdated content, filling gaps, and improving structure and tone
• Define and maintain documentation standards, style guides, and templates so that community contributions are consistent and maintainable
• Triage and act on documentation feedback from the community, support, and internal teams to prioritise what improves user outcomes most
• Contribute to the developer experience - API guides, integration documentation, and contributor docs - to support the OHF community and partner integrations
• Track documentation quality signals (support ticket themes, community feedback) and report on them regularly

• Strong technical writing skills with a portfolio of developer or product documentation
• Ability to read and understand code (Python, YAML, REST APIs) well enough to write accurate technical content without constant hand holding from engineers
• Good understanding of smart home hardware and electronics, with the ability to troubleshoot basic issues independently
• Experience with docs as code workflows (Git, Markdown, static site generators such as MkDocs or Docusaurus)
• High autonomy and self direction - able to identify what needs to be written without waiting to be told
• Strong stakeholder management: knows how to get technical information out of busy engineers efficiently

• Familiarity with Home Assistant or similar open source or self hosted software
• Experience maintaining documentation for a community driven project with external contributors
• A systematic approach to auditing large documentation sets and prioritising improvements methodically
• Experience working async in a remote first, distributed team
