Job Details
The Open Home Foundation is seeking a passionate technical writer to join our Home Assistant department as a full-time Senior Technical Writer.
In this role, you will act as both writer and planner: setting documentation priorities and processes, assisting in coordinating work, and still producing content yourself.
What you are going to do
- Assist in leading the strategy and structure of Home Assistant documentation, ensuring consistency and clarity across the ecosystem.
- Define documentation priorities and keep the content roadmap aligned with project goals.
- Write and maintain technical documentation yourself, with a focus on complex topics like hardware integrations, installation, and advanced features.
- Create, assign, review, and coordinate documentation tasks across the Home Assistant documentation team and work closely with the community.
- Develop scalable processes for planning, writing, reviewing, maintaining documentation, and handling user feedback.
- Mentor other writers and contributors, providing feedback and ensuring high quality.
- Collaborate closely with engineers and product teams to ensure documentation is accurate and user-friendly.
- Set up and maintain your own Home Assistant test environment to try out features, integrations, and hardware in order to produce accurate and practical documentation.
What you need to have
- 5+ years of technical writing experience, with at least 2 years in a senior, lead, or planning role.
- Proven ability to set documentation priorities and manage content roadmaps.
- Experience with topic-oriented writing for software products.
- Strong experience working effectively in a remote, asynchronous environment where written communication drives collaboration.
- Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and ability to work independently.
- Ability to mentor and review the work of other writers.
- Affinity with developer tooling commonly used for documentation at the Open Home Foundation, such as Visual Studio Code, git, and GitHub.
- Professional Fluency in English: Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
- European Residency: You must be currently based and eligible to work within Europe.
It would be great if you also have
- Familiarity with terminology work.
- A passion for smart homes and automation.
- Experience with Home Assistant as a user or contributor.
- Affinity with open-source development philosophy.
- Experience contributing to open-source projects, ideally including Home Assistant or related projects.
- Awareness of how modern AI tools can be used to improve workflows or team efficiency.
