Literally.dev is looking for freelance technical writers who can dedicate significant time and focus to creating high‑quality, developer‑facing documentation, guides, tutorials, and blog posts for our clients.
Our clients are mostly tech startups and scale‑ups building developer tools, APIs, SaaS platforms, and complex software products. They rely on us to make their documentation clear, accurate, and usable
This work goes beyond just writing down what the product does. You’ll need to:
- Understand the product deeply, sometimes by testing it yourself
- Collaborate with technical teams to clarify details
- Organize information so it’s intuitive to navigate
- Follow (and improve) documentation structure and style guides
- Make sure every technical detail is accurate.
This is ongoing, project‑based work with the potential for steady assignments if you’re a good fit. You set your rates, we match you with clients, and we handle all the admin so you can focus on writing.
Please note, we can't guarantee you any projects instantly. We act as matchmakers between you and our clients. They are the ones deciding with whom to move forward with. By applying to work with us, you get added to our database of available freelancers.
The ideal candidate
We're looking for applicants who:
- Have experience writing developer documentation (APIs, SDKs, CLI tools, integrations, etc.)
- Are comfortable working directly with technical subject matter experts
- Can take ownership of entire documentation projects from outline to the delivery stage
- Can handle recurring work with deadlines ranging from quick updates to multi‑week projects
Apply to work with us regardless of your background, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, age, or other experiences.
