Description
About us
We’re an early stage, well-funded startup team with a proven track record of shipping open source software with global adoption. We put a premium on respectful, clear, and complete communication, and we expect each other to be creative, curious, effective, and empathetic.
We believe deeply that the right tools and abstractions enable not just technological transformation, but also organizational transformation. We strive to put the user and their hard work at the center of our decision making. In practice, that means we are looking for engineers who want to write clean APIs and helpful error messages, and who always try to understand user needs when designing a new system.
All of our open source work is done publicly. You can gain context about how we collaborate as a team and the problems we work on by exploring GitHub and looking at our code reviews.
About the role
Dagster is seeking an experienced Lead Technical Writer to join our Community Engineering team and elevate our documentation efforts. In this role, you'll be responsible for creating, maintaining, and improving our technical documentation using a docs-as-code approach with Docusaurus.
