[Hiring] Documentation Engineer @Virtru

Role Description

The Developer Experience team is a new and growing practice at Virtru, focused on empowering developers to build with Virtru tools and the OpenTDF open source ecosystem. We're seeking a Documentation Engineer to join the team at a pivotal moment in our growth.

As a Documentation Engineer, your responsibilities will include:

• Docs as a Product: Own Virtru's developer documentation end-to-end — information architecture, content quality, user experience, and the platform it runs on. Benchmark our docs against industry-leading developer experiences and lead the roadmap that gets us to that bar.
• Interactive & Accessible Documentation: Design and ship interactive docs experiences — embedded code samples, runnable examples, API explorers, video walkthroughs — that meet developers where they are. Hold a high bar for accessibility, performance, and the kind of polish that makes docs feel delightful rather than obligatory.
• Content Production: Write cookbook-style guides, tutorials, conceptual explanations, and reference material. Produce screencasts and video walkthroughs for high-impact developer workflows.
• Working API Examples: Treat code samples as first-class documentation. Build and maintain a library of working, copy-pasteable, version-tested API examples across our supported SDKs and languages — examples that compile, execute, and demonstrate the actual workflows developers care about.
• Docs Infrastructure: Own the documentation platform — site generation, CI, preview environments, content tooling, search, analytics — and improve it as a first-class engineering surface, not a black box you write into.
• Agentic Coding: Use modern agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, and similar) fluently to ship docs content, infrastructure, code samples, and process improvements at speed.
• Documentation Processes: Establish and own the processes that make documentation scale — contribution guides, style guides, review SLAs, audit cadence, and the workflows that let SDK engineers and internal teams contribute high-quality content.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with the Developer Experience team, SDK teams, product managers, and the open source community to ensure documentation evolves alongside the platform.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in technical writing, documentation engineering, developer experience, or developer education roles, with software developers as the primary audience.
• Documentation as a craft: a portfolio of clear, accurate, well-structured developer documentation you can point to and discuss in depth.
• Docs-as-code experience: comfort opening PRs against the docs platform itself — modifying site generators, CI workflows, content tooling, and search infrastructure.
• Strategic and audit thinking: experience benchmarking documentation, identifying systemic gaps, and producing actionable roadmaps.
• UX and accessibility sensibility: an understanding of how developers navigate docs, where they get stuck, and what good information architecture feels like in practice.
• Comfort with agentic coding workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) as a daily tool for shipping docs and infrastructure.
• Content production fluency: strong writing, ability to produce screencasts and video, and the judgment to know which format fits which audience.
• Familiarity with APIs, SDKs, and developer workflows.
• Code examples as a craft: experience producing and maintaining working, runnable code samples in at least one major SDK language.
• Comfort with autonomy: defining and owning your scope on a small, fast-moving team.

Requirements

• Prior software engineering experience, or a background as a product manager working closely with developer-facing teams.
• Experience with documentation platforms such as Docusaurus, Mintlify, ReadMe, or similar.
• Familiarity with OpenAPI specifications or interactive API documentation.
• Open source community participation or contributions.
• Experience with security, encryption, or data privacy products.

Benefits

• Flexible PTO policy — we strongly encourage you to take time off (in addition to 14 holidays).
• A $1,500 annual Learning & Development Stipend.
• Frequent company-sponsored team celebrations.
• Access to an Employee Assistance Program.
• Access to Headspace, a mental health app.
• A flat 3% contribution to your retirement account.
• A high degree of flexibility for personal appointments and emergencies.
• Competitive compensation.
• Generous parental, medical, and bereavement policies.
• Uncapped commissions for Sales roles.
• 401K contribution and stock options.
• Full medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• New Hire Swag and IT Welcome boxes.
• Structured semi-annual 360° performance reviews.
