At Anduril, we invest in our people.

As a Lead Technical Writer, your mission is to partner with our Maritime Product and Operations teams to deliver accurate, updated, and easy-to-understand documentation on how to use Anduril products.

You will do whatever it takes to organize our engineering and program delivery functions in this mission.

In this role, you will work closely with Engineering, Operations, and various subject matter experts to understand our products, identify user workflows, and use documentation to close the gap.

As such, the Lead Technical Writer will play a foundational role in setting the bar for tone, voice, and quality across our written artifacts.

You will identify relevant stakeholders and lead them through a documentation roadmap with established key milestones and targets.
