Software organizations of all sizes rely on Cloudsmith to control and secure their software supply chains. Cloudsmith allows customers to manage curated private repositories that proxy public open-source software registries. Developers use these repositories as their trusted source for build artifacts. We support over 30 formats, including the most popular languages, package managers, operating systems, and AI and container protocols.\nWe’re aimed at the enterprise, with built-in comprehensive security and advanced features for policy enforcement, integrations, and observability. Customers consider Cloudsmith critical infrastructure, a central part of their software build chain.\nCloudsmith is built by developers, for developers. We treasure the developer experience. The Tao of Cloudsmith expresses the values we live by every day. This is a special company, and now is a great time to join us.\nThe Role\nCloudsmith's documentation is one of our most cited differentiators, and this role exists to help us keep the bar high as we scale. You'll join our documentation team, working alongside our Senior Technical Writer, to document our platform: package registries, artifact management, software supply chain security, and the wider DevSecOps ecosystem, helping developers become experts in it.\nReporting to our senior technical writer, this is a hands-on writing role. You'll take primary ownership of documenting specific product areas, working closely with product and engineering to understand features before they ship, and with customer success and sales to understand where existing docs fall short. You'll make sure documentation is ready by the time a feature ships, and that documentation is treated as a critical part of the user experience.\nKey Responsibilities\nDocumentation creation & content development\nWrite documentation for new products and features, working directly with engineers to understand functionality before it ships\n\nWrite guides and best-practice content for customers and users\n\nCreate and manage supporting multimedia assets (screenshots, short-form video) for existing documentation formats\n\nEditorial & publishing\nReview, edit, and publish documentation contributions from others\n\nManage and publish content to Cloudsmith's changelog\n\nCross-functional collaboration\nPartner with product managers to flag documentation needs early enough to publish alongside releases, not after\n\nWork with customer success and sales to identify where documentation is causing friction or falling short so we can continually improve it\n\nWork with Cloudsmith's partners to ensure we show up in their documentation and it's accurate\n\nOwnership & product knowledge\nOwn prioritization of a backlog of content improvements, including the thought and reasoning behind now / next / later\n\nBe a genuinely informed user of Cloudsmith's product, features, and integrations\n\nRequired Experience, Qualities & Skills\n5+ years of technical writing experience, preferably for an audience of software developers\n\nProficient in HTML and Markdown\n\nComfortable with \"docs as code\" and git-based version control workflows\n\nWorking familiarity with package management, artifact registries, or DevOps toolchains (npm, Docker, Maven, Terraform, or similar)\n\nClear, precise technical communicator\n\nCurious, motivated to learn quickly, comfortable asking engineers \"why\" until you actually understand a feature\n\nImpact & Opportunity\nThis role offers the opportunity to shape how developers at organizations of every size understand and adopt secure software supply chain practices. You'll take primary ownership of specific product areas, working directly with engineers before features ship, and see your documentation become the frontline experience for how customers learn and succeed with Cloudsmith. From startups to Fortune 500 companies, your work will directly impact how organizations control and secure their software supply chains.\nBenefits, Location & Work Environment\nNote: You must be based in Ireland or the United Kingdom (or the USA) and have the right to work independently without requiring sponsorship.\nHeadlines\nA highly competitive compensation package, including pre-IPO equity.\n\nComprehensive private healthcare plans.\n\nGenerous annual leave and flexible working practices to suit your lifestyle.\n\nA professional development budget for conferences and training.\n\nRegular (monthly-ish) travel may be required for team meetings.\n\nRegular (quarterly-ish) travel may also be required for events and customers.\n\nHealth and Wellness\nRegardless of your location, we deeply care about the health and wellness of our staff and their families; a sustainable pace is important to us. In addition to generous annual leave (PTO), we offer health and well-being benefits and flexible, family-friendly work policies.\nPersonal Growth\nYou will have an enormous opportunity to learn new skills alongside your colleagues, and your continued professional development is essential to us because it's important to you. We will support you with budgets for equipment, training, books, conferences, travel, and certifications. The more powerful you become, the better for all of us.\nFacilities\nCloudsmith is headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with fully-equipped office space that’s open 24/7. We use our H.Q. regularly for activities like working sessions, team planning, meet-and-greets, and sometimes other group activities (like games!). We also hold company off-sites in Belfast twice a year, featuring guest speakers and team activities. Many Cloudsmithers work remotely, so we rely on our online collaboration tools; Slack, Google Docs, Linear, and other popular collaboration tools are how we work.\nAbout Equal Opportunity\nCloudsmith is an equal opportunity employer, proud to nurture a diverse workplace that welcomes applications from individuals of all races, genders, and ethnic groups. We do not discriminate based on age, religion, sexual orientation, citizenship status, military service, or health conditions. We will not tolerate discrimination of any kind within our workforce.\nThe Final Word\nWe're looking for someone who can balance technical depth with genuine curiosity, has experience building documentation that developers trust, and is fearless about rolling up their sleeves when needed. We're a critical infrastructure built by developers for developers, building the world's software supply chain platform and ecosystem. We want to hear from you if you're excited to build the documentation that powers how the world manages its software supply chain, with a lasting impact on the software industry from today until IPO and beyond.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6930,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Equity","Flexible schedule","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Transportation & Logistics","Supply Chain"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-04T20:25:50Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Senior or Specialist Worker, Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker; Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-06T06:21:00+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":80,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.803,"p_room":1,"age_days":11,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:8","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cloudsmith-technical-writer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cloudsmith-technical-writer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-07T00:08:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":151,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4849,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":181039},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=181039"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcloudsmith-technical-writer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcloudsmith-technical-writer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcloudsmith-technical-writer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cloudsmith-technical-writer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcloudsmith-technical-writer"}]}
