Technical Writer I – SKI – Documentation
Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.
We’re seeking a technically savvy writer to join the Elastic Documentation team, focused on Kibana visualizations and developer documentation. This is not a hand-off role. You won’t wait for specs to turn into content. You’ll explore the product yourself, build dashboards, test APIs, and figure out how things actually work.
This role is a great fit for someone with a technical background. Maybe you were a support engineer, solutions engineer, or a writer embedded with engineering. You’re comfortable problem solving, testing out new features, reading code, and working directly with developers.
You’ll also be working in an AI-enabled documentation environment. At Elastic, writers use AI to explore unfamiliar code and APIs, prototype examples, validate workflows, and accelerate drafts. But the writer leads the outcome. Accuracy, clarity, and user success are still your responsibility.
If this sounds interesting, explore our docs! Try the product. Show us how you think. Share writing samples, a portfolio, or GitHub contributions.
Our documentation team influences how our products are understood and adopted. Writers here are not order-takers. They are technical partners who help shape the product experience. We care deeply about giving you ownership of what you’re working on. We believe Elastic achieves greatness when you are free to pursue your ideas and are surrounded and challenged by your peers.
