# Software and Documentation Engineer

> DevDocs · United States (Remote) · Contract · Posted 2025-12-04

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

DevDocs is a fully remote company that hires **developers** to build documentation and docs tooling for clients like Qualcomm, American Express, and C3 AI.

We don’t hire writers, and we don’t just crank out docs: our close-knit team is full of technical experts who can deeply understand a client’s products, consult on their problems, then design tools and systems to automate their docs processes (and write the most important docs).

### What you’ll do

This role lives somewhere between engineer, writer, teacher, and toolmaker. You’ll:

-   Get dropped into new tech, figure it out fast, and make it make sense.
-   Build tools and AI workflows to make every project smoother.
-   Write docs, blogs, and social content.
-   Untangle messy knowledge structures and design something better.
-   Ask detailed questions, get to the root of things, and make it simpler.
-   Improve DevDocs itself - processes, tooling, weird experiments welcome.

### What we’re looking for

-   You pick things up fast and figure stuff out without needing a map.
-   You write like you talk: clearly and directly.
-   You have a portfolio of written works
-   You think like an engineer and enjoy solving puzzles.
-   You’ve worked with clients or stakeholders and enjoy being social.
-   You’ve built projects for fun or because something annoyed you enough to fix it.

### Company culture

-   **Remote.** U.S. timezone overlap, but otherwise flexible.
-   **No grind.** 40 hours/week. We actually mean it.
-   **Real ownership.** You’ll ship work and see it used.
-   **Learning built-in.** We carve out time and budget for it.
-   **Room to grow.** Projects shift, ideas evolve, roles expand. If you want to stretch, we’ll make space.

## Requirements

### Ideal background

-   4+ years in software, hardware, or something technical.
-   Consider yourself a full stack developer with experience in Java, Python, TypeScript or React
-   Degree in CS, engineering, physics, etc. - or equivalent experience.

## Benefits

### The fine print

-   1099 Contractor (Ongoing).
-   Full-time (40hrs/week).
-   $40-75/hr based on experience and qualifications.
-   Raises are common after 6-12 months.
-   Monthly learning stipend.
-   Sick Leave
-   PTO
-   Paid Holidays
-   Must be authorized to work in the U.S. or Canada. No sponsorship available.
