At GitLab, our team of technical writers is responsible for ensuring that the documentation for all of our products is clear, correct, comprehensive, and easy to use. The Technical Writing team manages the docs.gitlab.com site and its content, processes, and tooling.

As a Technical Writer at GitLab, you’ll collaborate with Engineers, who typically write the first draft of docs for the new features they create. You’ll dive in on special projects, planning and authoring new content and helping craft new doc site features and processes. You’ll collaborate with others across the organization to help them contribute to the documentation. You’ll be at the leading edge of DevSecOps while contributing to one of the world’s largest open-source projects and engaging with our wider community.
