[Hiring] Technical Writer @Virtru

Role Description

As a Contract Technical Writer, you will report to a Solutions Architect on Virtru's Standards team. This role accelerates our standards document production and ensures Virtru's contributions meet the rigor and formatting conventions of multinational standards organizations. Your writing will directly shape how allied nations protect and share sensitive data.

• Draft and refine technical prose for international cryptographic key management and data security standards, ensuring compliance with NATO and allied publication conventions (e.g., ADatP, ACP formatting).
• Document interoperability test plans, results, and technical findings for bilateral partner engagements and multinational exercises.
• Prepare technical white papers, position papers, and briefing materials supporting government research partnerships and standards body meetings.
• Translate engineering feedback and subject matter expert input into publication-ready, standards-quality language.
• Support preparation of written contributions for recurring virtual and in-person standards writing sessions.
• Prepare test scenario descriptions and technical reports for multinational interoperability exercises.
• Draft response documents for standards community review and comment periods.
• Assist in producing reference documents that unify Virtru's technical positions across multiple standards engagement tracks into a coherent narrative.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience writing or editing technical standards, specifications, or policy documents for government or multinational organizations.
• Strong command of precise, unambiguous technical prose — the kind found in RFCs, STANAGs, or MIL-STDs.
• Ability to work from engineering notes, meeting recordings, and SME interviews to produce publication-ready drafts.

Requirements

• Experience with NATO standards processes (STANAGs, ADatPs, Allied publications) or Five Eyes/CCEB publication conventions (ACPs).
• Background in cybersecurity, zero trust architecture, or cross-domain solutions.
• Familiarity with cryptographic concepts, key management, and/or data security at a conceptual level.
• Active or recently held US security clearance (Secret or above).
