About Gigs

At Gigs, we’re building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly. Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity. Our team of around 90 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest‑growing tech companies, we bring together early‑stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless. If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

This role is for a Technical Writer who will own the creation and optimization of product and API documentation at Gigs. You’ll translate complex technical concepts into clear, user‑friendly content such as reference docs and developer guides, often working directly with engineering and product teams. As the first dedicated technical writer, you’ll set standards for documentation quality, consistency, and style across the organization, while also exploring ways to automate and enhance the documentation experience through visuals and structured processes.

What You Will Do

• You’ll have an impact by contributing across all customer‑facing products; including the dashboard, our Slack community, self‑serve flows, documentation, git repos, and more.
  • Nice to have for this position: Exposure to working with Git, but no worries you’ll have the opportunity to learn this too.
• You’ll write product and API documentation for our users, for example crafting reference docs and developer guides. You will take complex topics and translate them into a concise, relevant, and readable format. This includes working with the engineering team to convert detailed bullet points and verbal explanations into detailed, simple, and streamlined explanations.
• You’ll tech‑splain complex software, product features, and API functions. You’ll think about how to complement your writing with user‑friendly content like infographics and illustrations for an enhanced user experience and will work with the team to implement these.
• You’ll establish best practices on how to design, draft, and edit technical and process documentation at Gigs. As the first dedicated technical writer at Gigs, review, challenge and copyedit technical content and advocate best practices in technical writing across the organization. This includes selecting a uniform writing style across all media and other platforms for consistency within and outside the organization. You’ll be able to explore solutions to automate and actively optimise our documentation.
• You’ll manage stakeholder relationships by working closely with engineering, product, and communication teams to ensure the quality and accuracy of the content. This also includes supporting the release and adoption of our software amongst our customers and external stakeholders.

What We Are Looking For

• You have 4+ years of technical writing within SaaS and API startups or scale‑ups. With years of experience as a technical writer, you know the ins and outs of impactful API and SDK documentation and have a portfolio of pieces to prove it. Familiarity with API documentation tools and knowledge of REST APIs is a must.
• You love abstracting complexity. You can take complex technical topics and formulate them into beautifully simple explanations. You are innately good at communicating through the written word, crafting pieces that are quickly understood and break down technical barriers.
• You’re a writer at heart and love creating for an reading audience. You write for impact, giving readers the tools they need to get the job done.
• You’re a task‑master with an established record of project ownership, project management, and self‑direction as a technical writer. You know how to tackle things to get started and know when and where to reach out to the team for support.
• You’ve got native‑level English skills and know how to interpret engineering thinking and writing. You know what nerds want to read.
