Fully Async and Remote
Our team is 100% remote and distributed across the world. We have team members all over the world. It doesn’t matter where you live or what time zone you’re in.
Your main responsibility will be to write high-quality technical long-form content. Documentation, tutorials, blog posts, and more. You don’t need to know anything about SEO, we will take care of that. All you need to do is be an expert in WordPress and write engaging content.
There is also an opportunity to create videos for our various YouTube channels.
Flexibility
We are a small team but we try to give everyone as much flexibility as possible. Flexibility means that you can work in the mornings, or the evenings, or both, or in the middle of the night, or whatever. It means you can take two weeks off to go on a trip. It means you can wake up and decide you don’t feel like working and take the day off without telling anyone.
Responsibilities
- Write, edit, and publish high-quality content written for a technical audience.
- Become an expert in the products you are writing about.
- Sometimes you will write the articles yourself. Sometimes you will write an outline and hand it off to another, less skilled writer and then edit their work. Sometimes you will simply edit articles that were outlined and written by someone else.
- The articles you are responsible for creating will at times requires a few days of prep and testing, gathering screenshots, deciding how to structure the article, etc.
Requirements
The only thing we really care about is the ability to write high-quality content. The more of these boxes you can tick the better, in descending order of importance:
- Available to work 20-30 hours per week.
- Flawless, native-speaker level written English. Able to explain complicated, technical topics in a simple and engaging manner.
- Expert-level knowledge of WordPress and its ecosystem, including but not limited to page builders, ACF, WooCommerce, and other more niche WordPress tools.
- You have worked in the WordPress space for many years and created and worked on many websites. You are skilled in troubleshooting, debugging, the WordPress database structure, and maybe even plugin development.
- At least intermediate-level PHP knowledge, with the ability to write PHP functions, create custom website components to spec, etc.
- Fast and hands-on learner. Able to quickly become familiar with new software and learn new things about WordPress, PHP, and related technologies.
How To Apply
Send an email to inbox@soflyy.com. Use ‘Hiring – Technical Writer’ as the subject of your email. We would love to be able to reply to everyone, but we simply receive too many applications for that to be possible.
In the body content of the email:
- Write a paragraph or two to introduce yourself, describe your experience with WordPress, and let us know where you found our hiring post.
- Indicate your desired hourly rate.
- Describe and include links to your work that you are most proud of. We would love to see sites that you built and the tools that you used.
- Include links to at least one writing sample. It doesn’t need to be related to WordPress or even technology in general. It can be anything, like a Craigslist post, a personal blog, a long-form social media post, etc. We just want to see that you are able to write well.
If you’d like to stand out from the crowd, write your application by hand. The vast majority of applicants just put this application into ChatGPT and it’s very obvious.
