Job description

As an Associate Technical Writer at Panther Labs, you will enable customer success by creating and improving public technical documentation to help users make the most of Panther’s features and functionality.

Success in this collaborative role will require working directly with stakeholders across Support, Product, and Engineering to create best-in-class technical documentation and manage the collaborative processes required to develop new and updated content to support a rapidly evolving product.

The ideal candidate for this position will be equally comfortable testing and documenting features from the Panther Console web app and developer workflows, including the Panther API, command line tools, and code snippets in Python/SQL/YAML.

This is a role in Panther’s Support organization, and we’re seeking highly motivated and organized candidates who are looking for a chance to take on more responsibility over time within a hyper-growth company environment. You will work closely with our existing Senior Technical Writer to help cover our ever-expanding documentation, knowledge, and customer communication needs.

Our values guide our every move: Be an Owner, Move Fast, and Take Care of the Team. We believe that by building a diverse group of remote individuals, we can push forward our mission and create a rewarding, inclusive, and fun work environment for our entire team.

The Responsibilities

• Writing and editing content and serving as publisher for internal crowd-sourced updates to Panther documentation and Knowledge Base articles
• Working with Support, Product, Engineering, and other stakeholders to publish new feature documentation and update existing content in line with product releases
• Performing audits on existing Knowledge Base articles to ensure content accuracy
• Providing writing and editing support for a variety of projects, including release notes and customer communications
• Understanding the customer persona and product workflows in order to make improvements to the structure and reader experience of technical content

The Requirements

• Experience building, testing, and delivering best-in-class technical documentation
• Editorial expertise – specifically, experience editing technical written content
• Experience working directly with customers to solve issues, or with customer-facing Support teams
• Experience using AI to assist in content generation, editing, and/or search, with a keen eye for identifying mistakes and hallucinations
