We're looking for a Senior Technical Writer who brings craft and strategic instinct to the discipline. As a Senior Technical Writer at Starburst, you will own complex documentation initiatives end to end, influence how content is structured and delivered at scale, operate with authority in a fast-moving, highly technical environment, and help your team succeed with AI-assisted tooling.

Responsibilities:

- Own the planning, writing, and continuous improvement of highly technical documentation, including configuration, deployment, integration, and query reference content.

- Partner directly with software engineers, product managers, and subject matter experts to extract accurate technical detail and drive timely review cycles.

- Lead documentation work tied to major platform and product initiatives.

- Evaluate and develop content for AI consumability and discoverability.

- Apply a structured content approach to ensure documentation serves the right audience at the right stage of their journey.

- Contribute to documentation standards, style guidelines, and peer review processes across the team.

- Serve as a senior voice in cross-functional planning, advocating for documentation requirements in the product development lifecycle.

- Partner on piloting AI-assisted drafting tools.

- Contribute content expertise to docs replatforming initiatives.

Requirements:

- 7+ years of technical writing experience, with a strong portfolio of developer-facing or data infrastructure documentation.

- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.

- Experience owning documentation for complex SaaS, cloud, or data platform products.

- Proven ability to manage SME relationships decisively.

- Proficiency with docs-as-code workflows.

- Excellent written communication in US English.

- Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent professional experience.

Nice to have:

- Familiarity with how documentation is consumed by AI systems.

- Hands-on experience using LLMs in a content workflow.
