Technical Writer, Senior

Technical Writer, Senior

The Opportunity:

Support a mission-critical U.S. Army program by developing and maintaining accurate, usable technical documentation for a deployed software system. Translate complex engineering and operational information into clear instructions and contractual deliverables that help government stakeholders, system administrators, maintainers, and end users operate and sustain the system.

Partner with software developers, systems engineers, testers, configuration management personnel, and government subject matter experts (SMEs) to create and update Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) deliverables, software user and administrator manuals, installation and configuration guides, operational procedures, and system configuration documentation. Independently coordinate reviews, resolve comments, verify technical content, and keep publications aligned with approved system baselines and software releases. Bring a disciplined technical-writing mindset to a collaborative software development environment. This is a documentation role, not a software development position. This position is located in Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:

• 5+ years of experience performing technical writing and editing for software applications, information technology systems, or systems engineering programs, including developing technical manuals, operating procedures, and system documentation
• Experience developing, reviewing, and delivering CDRL documentation, including interpreting applicable Data Item Descriptions (DIDs), contractual content and formatting requirements, and government review comments to produce complete, compliant, and on-time deliverables
• Experience authoring and maintaining documentation for deployed software systems, including user or administrator manuals, installation and configuration procedures, troubleshooting guidance, and system configuration records
• Ability to keep content accurate as software versions and approved configurations change
• Ability to independently gather and validate complex information with software developers, systems engineers, testers, configuration management personnel, and government SMEs and apply sound information architecture, rigorous editing and quality control, and document review and version-management practices using tools such as Microsoft Office or SharePoint
• Secret clearance
• HS diploma or GED

Nice If You Have:

• Experience supporting U.S. Army or other DoD software acquisition, fielding, modernization, or sustainment programs, including military documentation conventions, controlled unclassified information (CUI), and applicable distribution or security markings
• Experience supporting configuration management and change control through document baselines, revision histories, engineering change requests, release traceability, document repositories, or change control board (CCB) review activities
• Experience using Git, GitLab, or GitHub for documentation version control and collaborative review, including branches and pull or merge requests, Markdown, AsciiDoc, or docs-as-code authoring formats
• Experience working within Agile software delivery teams such as Scrum or Kanban and using Jira, Azure DevOps, or Confluence to coordinate documentation with sprint work, user stories, defects, and release schedules
• Experience improving documentation quality and delivery through automation, reusable templates, structured content, automated checks, or streamlined publishing workflows, including appropriately approved AI-assisted documentation tools where authorized
• Experience producing user-centered technical content with process diagrams, annotated screenshots, decision trees, or task-based instructions including Section 508 accessibility practices and tools such as Visio, Adobe Acrobat, Snagit, or MadCap Flare
• Knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), software releases, deployment and configuration concepts, software interfaces or APIs, and test or verification activities sufficient to document technical behavior and workflows without writing production code
