What the job involves
- SpecterOps is searching for an experienced Technical Writer to join their BloodHound team and take ownership of our product documentation strategy
- This role combines clear, high-quality technical writing with content architecture, navigation design, and a deep understanding of user personas
- You will collaborate closely with product managers, developers, designers, and customer-facing teams to create documentation that is easy to find, use, and isl precisely tailored to the needs of different audiences—including developers, system administrators, business users, and technical support teams
- Create and maintain clear, user-focused documentation such as product guides, developer docs, API references, onboarding flows, FAQs, and release notes
- Design and implement scalable information architecture, ensuring logical organization, intuitive navigation, and discoverability across documentation platforms
- Understand and document for multiple user personas, tailoring content for specific roles (e.g., developers vs. non-technical admins) and use cases
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather technical details, identify documentation needs, and ensure content accuracy
- Define and enforce content standards, voice, and style guidelines to maintain consistency across the knowledge base
- Analyze usage patterns and feedback to improve content relevance, accessibility, and structure
- Work with internal teams to continuously evolve our documentation tools and infrastructure, integrating new technologies where needed
- Contribute to the overall content strategy, including content planning, versioning, and localization where applicable
Our take
As the onslaught of cybersecurity threats rises and evolves, SpecterOps takes an adversary-focused approach to defend its clients against harmful attacks. Adversary-focused cybersecurity goes above and beyond defense measures to actually impose costs and threats on the attackers, acting as a deterrent for potential hacks.
The old saying “the best defense is a good offense” is relevant here, and SpecterOps, with a co-founder with a background doing similar for the US Marines, has plenty of experience deflecting cyber threats. The company’s Bloodhound software maps and removes potential attack paths and choke points and consults on how companies can improve security. Bloodhound was initially leveraged by penetration testers but has found wider adoption over the last two years, with its customer base growing by 600% in that time. Clients include Capital Group, Woodside Energy, and the University of Texas.
This proactive approach to defense has drawn in considerable investment, SpecterOps having raised two rounds of series A in 2023 and further VC in 2024. This funding will go towards accelerating what is already a highly popular cyber defense product.
