Job description

Infisical is looking to hire exceptional talent to join our teams in building the open source security infrastructure stack for the AI era.

We're building a generational company with a world-class team. This isn’t a place to coast — but if you want to grow fast, take ownership, and solve tough problems, you’ll be challenged like nowhere else.

What We're Looking For

We’re looking for a Founding Technical Writer who is excited to write technical documentation and drive adoption of Infisical across the ecosystem.

This is a high-impact role focused on helping developers succeed with Infisical by owning our documentation, guides, and materials. You'll shape how developers discover, learn, and grow with Infisical by writing documentation, and engaging with the community through technical content and conversation.

You’ll work closely with engineering and marketing to:

• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including code samples, implementation guides, and feature references.
• Create educational materials such as self-paced courses to help developers go from zero to hero on secrets management.
• Own product updates, white papers, and the developer newsletter.
• Collaborate with engineering to continuously review and improve documentation accuracy and usability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or 2+ years of experience in developer relations, developer advocacy, technical content marketing, or technical writing.
• Strong understanding of software engineering concepts, developer tooling, and infrastructure.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex topics clearly.
• Based in the US or Canada.

How You'll Grow

As the first Documentation Lead at Infisical, you’ll have a front-row seat in helping make Infisical the standard for secrets management and secure infrastructure. By owning documentation, and community engagement, you’ll shape how developers adopt and succeed with the product.

This is a high-impact role where your work will directly influence how quickly Infisical is adopted across the ecosystem — giving you a unique opportunity to grow as a trusted voice in the developer and security communities.

Team, Values & Benefits

Our team brings experience from companies like Figma, AWS, and Red Hat. We operate primarily as a remote team but maintain a strong presence in San Francisco, where we have an office. We also get together in person throughout the year for off-sites, conferences, and team gatherings.

At Infisical, we offer competitive compensation, including both salary and equity options. Additional benefits, such as a lunch stipend and a work setup budget, are available with more details to be found on our careers page.

About Us

Infisical is the open source security infrastructure platform that engineers use for secrets management, internal PKI, key management, and SSH workflow orchestration. We help developers and organizations securely manage over 1.5 billion secrets each month including application configuration, database credentials, certificates, and more.

We’ve raised $19M from Y Combinator, Google, and Elad Gil, and our customers include Hugging Face, Lucid, and LG.

Join us on a mission to make security easier for all developers — starting with secrets management.
