Location and Legalities

This full-time Technical Writer position is based onsite in our brand-new Ultralytics office in London, UK, with a hybrid model of 3 days in-office and 2 days remote. Applicants must have legal authorization to work in the UK, as Ultralytics does not provide visa sponsorship.

• Writing and maintaining comprehensive documentation for our open-source software, including our state-of-the-art YOLO11 model and other vision AI solutions.
• Creating engaging tutorials, how-to guides, and best-practice articles covering topics from model training and hyperparameter tuning to deployment on various platforms.
• Documenting our Python API, CLI, and key integrations like TensorRT and OpenVINO.
• Collaborating closely with our engineering and research teams to translate complex technical concepts into user-friendly content for a diverse audience.
• Managing our documentation portal using MkDocs, Markdown, and a Git-based workflow on GitHub.
• Applying SEO best practices to enhance the visibility and discoverability of our documentation and blog content.
• Developing and maintaining a consistent style and voice across all technical content, ensuring it aligns with the Ultralytics brand.

Your strategic vision and technical expertise will be essential in supporting Ultralytics' mission of delivering top-tier machine learning tools and models to the community.

Skills and Experience

• 5+ years of experience in technical writing, preferably for a developer audience in the AI or software industry.
• Exceptional command of the English with proven ability to write clear, concise, and accurate technical content.
• Proficiency with documentation-as-code workflows using Markdown, Git, and GitHub.
• Hands-on experience with static site generators like MkDocs or Sphinx.
• Basic proficiency in Python to understand and document code examples and APIs.
• A strong interest in or experience with machine learning, computer vision, and object detection models like YOLO.
• Experience documenting APIs, SDKs, and other developer tools.
• Knowledge of SEO principles and how to apply them to technical documentation to drive organic traffic.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to perform in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment.

We operate at a relentless pace, demanding exceptional dedication and an unwavering commitment to excellence, guided by our mission, vision, and values. Our team thrives on audacious goals and absolute ownership. This is not a conventional workplace.

We seek driven individuals prepared for the profound personal investment required to make a defining contribution to the future of AI.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive Salary: Highly competitive based on experience.
