As Upvest enters the next stage of growth, we are looking for an exceptional Lead Technical Writer. You will work directly with Christian Wöhlke owning topics critical to Upvest’s product and business success:

• Autonomy coupled with inspirational leadership: When we say empowered teams and roles we mean it. In this role you will fully own the outcome - with your manager and senior leadership ready to support you at all times.
• The importance of documentation: At Upvest we highly value the importance of our public documentation and the work done by Technical Writers. That is why we went public with our documentation portal when the product was still in its infancy. No struggle for access or resources that technical writers may encounter elsewhere.
• Product Engineering culture = No silos: Teams are working together guided by joint OKRs and a clear roadmap. This unified culture & way of working means fewer silos exist which a technical writer would need to break through, enabling easier collaboration to deliver client value in a decoupled and dynamic manner.
• An exceptional team: Upvest’s Product team is one of a kind when it comes to combining impactful work with a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We have established strong practices around feedback, team health and social events.
• Continuous learning: The complex yet fascinating field of investments, building an API product on a state-of-the-art tech stack, and working with the most relevant fintechs and financial institutions provide for an incredibly rewarding learning experience. It is a great opportunity if you aspire to grow professionally.
