[Hiring] Technical Writer & Instructional Designer @10a Labs

Role Description

We are seeking a Technical Writer & Instructional Designer to develop technical workshops, developer documentation, and hands-on learning experiences focused on AI systems and emerging developer technologies.

In this role, you will translate complex technical concepts, tools, and existing training materials into clear, practical resources that enable developers and technical teams to effectively build with large language models (LLMs), APIs, and vector database systems.

You will own the end-to-end development of technical learning content, including:

• Curriculum design
• Hands-on exercises
• Workshop materials
• API and SDK documentation
• Instructor guides

Working closely with engineering, product, and research teams, you will ensure materials are technically accurate, accessible, and aligned with real-world developer workflows.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of technical writing, developer education, and AI. The ideal candidate is comfortable navigating evolving technologies, independently driving content development, and making sophisticated technical systems easier to understand and use.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in technical writing, instructional design, developer education, technical curriculum development, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience creating hands-on technical workshops, developer training materials, and comprehensive technical documentation.
• Strong understanding of LLMs, generative AI, prompting, APIs, and vector database systems.
• Experience developing technical content for software engineers, application developers, platform engineers, or similarly technical audiences.
• Exceptional technical writing and editing skills, with the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly without sacrificing technical accuracy.
• Ability to read, understand, and explain code examples in Python, TypeScript, or similar programming languages.
• Familiarity with software development workflows, including Git/GitHub, Markdown/MDX, version control, and testing.
• Experience collaborating with engineers to validate technical documentation, troubleshoot exercises, and improve developer learning experiences.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to independently manage multiple content deliverables in a fast-moving environment.
• A portfolio showcasing technical writing, developer documentation, instructional materials, or hands-on technical workshops.

Requirements

• Experience developing educational content or documentation for AI/ML platforms, developer tools, or emerging AI technologies.
• Familiarity with AI safety, model evaluations, LLM testing, or responsible AI development.
• Experience with vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, or agentic AI workflows.
• Experience with documentation platforms, static site generators, or documentation-as-code workflows.
• Previous experience working with AI research teams, developer platforms, or early-stage technology companies.

Benefits

• 6 Month contract, with possibility of extension
• Compensation: $95,000 - $125,000 ($45/hr to $60/hr)
• Location: Remote
• Schedule: Includes rotating on-call coverage, with weekend and holiday availability required.
