Onfido is the new identity standard for the internet. That means we only need an image of your ID and a selfie to prove that you’re you. In doing so, we help millions of people connect to the services they need and love more easily, speedily and safely than ever before, whether it’s renting a car or opening a bank account. Our vision is to create an open world where identity is the key to access.

We've received over $200 million in funding from world-class tech investors including TPG Growth, Microsoft, Salesforce to back our vision. And we're just getting started.

We’re constantly improving and iterating on our developer-facing content.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team that also includes backend and frontend developers, product managers, designers, and a UX researcher. One of the team’s goals is to provide a world-class Developer Experience for Onfido’s customers, and technical writers are central to this.

You’ll be a naturally curious person, and with access to cutting-edge tools you’ll learn from an experienced team. You’ll join us at an exciting time in our journey, as the team expands Onfido’s already industry-leading developer content, explores new ways to respond to our users’ needs, and can find the best ways to work with our product-led rapid release cadence. 

We’re looking for someone with the skills to build strong interpersonal relationships with subject matter experts in a fast-paced and progressive environment. You’ll be a strong communicator with a natural enjoyment of teaching, and with very good attention to detail. 

As a Technical Writer at Onfido you will:

• Lead on Developer Experience products (technical reference content, guide content, code examples, API client libraries, and more)
• Write and edit varied external content for a technical audience
• Collaborate within the company across all Lines of Business, in order to improve our documentation 
• Develop good working relationships with different stakeholders internally
• Contribute to improving Onfido’s overall information architecture 

We’re looking for a Technical Writer who has:

• Experience in software technical writing and Developer Experience
• Experience working within a docs-as-code workflow
• Experience working within a cross-functional Agile environment

Requirements:

• Understanding of the importance of clear and accessible content
• Passionate about user experience, with experience working in a user-centric environment
• Experienced with a docs-as-code workflow (we use Git with GitLab and GitHub, and our sites are generated using Gatsby)
• Interest in technology and software development
• Great communication skills
• High standard of written English
• Able to give and receive feedback in a constructive manner
• Experience in a relevant role

Desirable Experience:

• Experience working with an API-based SaaS product
• Demonstrable experience contributing to software projects (e.g. API client libraries)
• Experience contributing to maintenance of a static site (frontend, deployment, etc.)
• Any experience with manual and automated code testing
• Programming or scripting abilities (any modern language)

If you believe you’re a good fit for the role (even if you think you don’t meet all the requirements), we’d like to hear from you!
