Lead Documentation Strategy:
Take the reins on our documentation strategy, going beyond just writing manuals. You’ll craft content that enhances user experience and drives the success of HackerRank products. Your impact will be felt across the company as you shape how users perceive and engage with our solutions.

We want someone who brings fresh ideas to the table. You’ll have the freedom to explore new formats, push the boundaries of traditional documentation, and implement cutting-edge content practices. Whether it’s interactive guides, visual storytelling, or engaging video tutorials — your creativity will shine.
Craft Engaging Stories:
Technical writing doesn’t have to be dry. We want you to bring personality, humor, and a unique voice to our content. Your role isn’t just about creating docs — it’s about crafting stories that resonate with our users and make complex concepts approachable and enjoyable to read.
Shape the Customer Experience:
Your work will be one of the most important touchpoints for our users. Through clear, engaging, and well-structured documentation, you’ll ensure that customers feel informed, empowered, and ready to succeed with our products.
