Technical Writer, Challenges (Asia)

Headquarters: San Francisco
URL: https://codecrafters.io

We’re looking for a technical writer with a sharp eye for detail and a knack for making complex ideas easy to follow. You’ll be responsible for ensuring our educational content is concise, accurate and engaging across the various formats we offer — this includes coding challenge instructions, interactive concepts and more.

Since our product competes against tons of free resources, high quality content is critical to our success.

You'll work directly with our CTO.

About CodeCrafters

At CodeCrafters, developers learn by building real-world software from scratch—Git, Redis, SQLite, and more. We believe the best way to master complex systems is to get your hands dirty and write the code yourself. Our audience is made up of experienced developers who value clarity, precision, and depth.

We're backed by YC and the founders of Instagram, Dropbox, Supabase, etc. We're also the maintainers of Build your own X (GitHub's 2nd most popular repository with ~400k stars).

What we’re looking for

• Strong technical background — comfortable with developer tools, programming concepts, and reading code.
• Exceptional writing skills with a focus on clarity and brevity.
• High attention to detail; able to spot inconsistencies, unclear phrasing, and missing context.
• Ability to break down complex ideas into digestible explanations without oversimplifying.
• Experience writing for a technical audience (documentation, tutorials, developer blogs, etc.).
• +3 UTC to +8 UTC timezone to ensure significant overlap with other engineers

What we offer

• 100% remote work (+3 UTC to +8 UTC timezones)
• Generous productivity tools budget for Cursor, ChatGPT etc.
• Generous learning budget for online courses/books
• Stake in the company: $25k-$35k/yr cash + up to 0.3% equity
