We combine proprietary technology, deep expertise, and multilingual threat intelligence to detect abuse at scale. We also deliver state-of-the-art red teaming across high-impact security and safety challenges.

About the role: 10a Labs is seeking an experienced Technical Writer to document a suite of developer products and tools. This is a short-term contract position.  You’ll create clear, practical resources that help developers and partner organizations integrate and build with large-language-models (LLM) and vector database–based systems. This includes producing API and SDK documentation, conceptual guides for model integration, and workshop materials that translate complex technical capabilities into actionable learning experiences. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, product, and research teams to turn emerging technical advances into clear, developer-ready materials that accelerate adoption and understanding.

In this role, you will: 

• 3+ years of technical writing experience with a strong portfolio of API, SDK, and developer documentation.
• Ability to draft and produce workshop materials. 
• Proven ability to translate complex AI and infrastructure systems (LLMs, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval pipelines) into developer-friendly materials.
• Experience with docs-as-code workflows (Git/GitHub, Markdown/MDX, static site generators).
• Coding proficiency in at least one language (Python, TypeScript, or similar) and ability to verify runnable examples.
• Understanding of modern software development (version control, testing, dependency management, CI/CD).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; meticulous about clarity and correctness.
• Ability to design and deliver technical workshops or training materials that help developers learn new systems quickly.
• Self-directed, adaptable, and collaborative across engineering, product, and research.
• Bonus: experience with AI/ML tools, prompt engineering, LLM safety and evaluation, OpenAPI/Swagger, or open-source documentation contributions.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of technical writing experience or similar with a strong portfolio of API, SDK, and developer documentation.
• Outstanding writing and editing skills.
• Proven ability to translate complex systems for both application developers and platform engineers.
• Experience with docs-as-code workflows (Git/GitHub, Markdown/MDX, static site generators).
• Coding proficiency in at least one language (Python, TypeScript, or similar) and ability to verify runnable examples.
• Solid grasp of modern software development practices including version control, testing, dependency management, and CI/CD.
  Excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and a bias toward clarity and accuracy.
• Self-directed, adaptable, and collaborative across cross-functional teams.
• Experience with AI/ML tools, prompt engineering, LLM concepts, API specs (OpenAPI/Swagger), or open-source documentation contributions.
