Role Description

In this role, you will lead the internal documentation efforts of Signaloid's products and internal processes. You will be responsible for:

  • Improving the design and implementation of the documentation system used throughout the company, with the freedom to re-architect the system if necessary.
  • Extending the existing documentation system to incorporate video-based archival and live content for both internal- and external-facing documentation.
  • Communicating with the rest of the team to ensure all internal- and external-facing systems are documented and consistent.
  • Ensuring customers and other team members find the documentation complete and valuable.

After the first year in this role, if successful, you can expect to:

  • Lead the company-wide documentation strategy.
  • Lead new efforts to continually adapt documentation to customer feedback.
  • Play a leading role in documentation-related training and development activities.

Requirements

What You Need to Succeed In This Role:

You will be someone who brings to the team the following attributes:

  • Experience with HTML and Markdown.
  • Experience with documentation tools and frameworks (e.g., doxygen, GitBook, mdBook, MkDocs, ReadTheDocs, or others).
  • Ability to automate documentation processes, such as by using a browser automation tool like Selenium to navigate to pages, take screenshots programmatically, upload the screenshots to a repository, and define ReactJS components that handle the screenshot styling (e.g., add the browser frame, the drop shadow, etc.).
  • A willingness to listen to people until they feel understood.
  • Honesty, empathy, and a willingness to see the world from the viewpoint of others.

Additional Desirable Skills and Experience:

  • Experience with LaTeX.
  • Experience with ReactJS (or similar frameworks such as VueJS or AngularJS).
  • Experience with Python.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines.

Our Recruiting Procedure

  • All positions require you to write a one-page cover letter (you can also substitute the cover letter for a snippet of code that will run on the signaloid.io platform; be creative!). We use the cover letter to screen for communication skills, as clear communication is essential in a remote working environment.
  • Applicants who pass the cover letter screening receive an initial 15-minute Zoom screening call with a member of our People Development Team to discuss your CV.
  • Applicants who pass the screening interview, regardless of the position they are interviewing for, will be given a real-world project to solve over the course of one week (or two weeks if you are currently employed in a full-time job). In exchange for your time, we give you two books relevant to the rest of the interview process and £500 worth of free credits on the Signaloid Cloud Developer Platform.
  • Applicants who successfully complete the project are invited for a set of 45-minute interviews with people from our core teams (there will be up to six such interviews) which will use the project you completed as a discussion point.
  • In the final stage, applicants are invited for an on-site interview with members of the team in Cambridge.

Benefits

A flexible remote-first work environment

  • Be part of an international team with the flexibility to choose where you live.
  • You can work any set of eight hours in a day provided four of those hours overlap with the working day in Zurich.
  • Join the rest of the team every three months for an in-person session somewhere in Europe.

Competitive compensation

  • Yearly bonus based on company's Objectives and Key Results (OKR) performance and bi-yearly bonus based on your project team's OKR performance.
  • Simple transparent compensation across the company, with four pay levels, in all roles, based on skill level: Contributor, Senior Contributor, Lead Contributor, and Principal Contributor.
  • All full-time employees receive attractive stock options package.
