About the Role:
At CrowdStrike, we don't just document products — we help stop breaches. As a Technical Writer for LogScale, you'll be at the heart of that mission, owning a critical area of our product documentation and shaping how customers and internal teams interact with one of the most powerful data platforms in cybersecurity.

You'll play a key role in transforming complex technical content into clear, structured, multi-channel documentation that delivers the right information, to the right user, at the right time. This isn't a passive role — you'll own your content area end-to-end, driving strategy, priorities, and quality while collaborating with engineers, architects, and product managers who are building technology at a scale few companies ever reach.

Your primary focus will be the data ingestion, egress, and deployment automation of LogScale — documenting the methods and tools that power LogScale environments for both CrowdStrike and its customers.

What You'll Do:

• Own your domain. Take full responsibility for a defined area of documentation, including content strategy, priorities, and quality — and make it exceptional.

• Write for real users. Develop and maintain documentation (hosted at library.humio.com) with a user-centered approach, translating complex engineering concepts into clear, actionable content.

• Work at scale. Gain deep hands-on experience with a large-scale, distributed, multi-petabyte software solution and learn to communicate its complexity with clarity.

• Structure and optimize content. Apply structured authoring principles within our information architecture to maximize content reuse and consistency across channels.

• Sharpen your automation skills. Build and improve tools that streamline the documentation workflow, and refine generative AI prompts to enhance content production.

• Collaborate with the best. Partner with developers, architects, and product managers to build technical knowledge and ensure documentation accurately reflects how the product works — and what that means for customers.

• Champion consistency. Develop a deep appreciation for style guides and process documentation, and help drive scalability across the content team.

• Grow continuously. Immerse yourself in industry-standard tools, processes, and an SDLC environment that will sharpen both your technical and writing skills.

What You'll Need:

• Proven experience writing product documentation for software products, with a strong user-centered focus

• Proficiency with structured authoring technologies, including DocBook, DITA, and XSLT

• Strong working knowledge of API documentation, particularly GraphQL and REST

Nice to Have:

• Experience in cybersecurity and/or large-scale data industries

• Programming knowledge in Java, Scala, JavaScript, Perl, or Python

• Understanding of database technologies, distributed systems, or SQL/GraphQL

• Familiarity with machine learning concepts and large language models

• A passion for automation and simplifying the path from engineering output to user-ready documentation

Who You Are:

• You're curious, detail-oriented, and energized by complexity rather than intimidated by it.

• You ask good questions, take feedback in stride, and care deeply about the experience of the person reading your work.

• You thrive in collaborative environments but are equally comfortable driving your own projects forward.

• Most importantly, you want your work to matter — and at CrowdStrike, it will.
