Job Description

Canonical is appointing Technical Authors through a single entry-point posting that covers dozens of roles across its product, customer and operations teams, at levels from Graduate to Senior Staff. This is a single entry-point posting covering multiple roles, not one fixed vacancy. Each Technical Author leads the documentation efforts of a Canonical team: product-focused authors work inside product engineering teams, customer-focused authors support users of complex products, and operations-focused authors document business functions such as Legal, HR and Talent. The role covers creating, maintaining and improving software and other documentation, helping colleagues contribute effectively, engaging with user communities, and standardising structure, style and language across products, using the Diátaxis approach to documentation. Applicants state a preferred focus, and seniority is matched during hiring. The posting asks for excellent written communication, demonstrable documentation skills and enthusiasm, experience of software development contexts, and familiarity with Linux, working on the command line, Git, Sphinx and reStructuredText, plus a BSc/BA degree or equivalent. The role involves travel twice a year for up to two weeks for events. Benefits include a personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year, an annual compensation review, annual holiday leave, maternity and paternity leave, and an Employee Assistance Programme. Job type: Remote. Location: Remote – Worldwide; these are fully remote roles, open to candidates across the globe. Salary: no salary figure is stated; the posting says compensation is shaped by geographical location, experience and performance. No closing date is stated. Apply via the official Canonical posting: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/canonical/jobs/3798310. Source: Canonical / Greenhouse.
