About Virtru:
While the rest of the security industry obsesses over locking data down to prevent it from being lost or stolen, we're doing something fundamentally different at Virtru. We're setting data free so that you can intentionally share it with others, but without sacrificing security, privacy, or control.
We've created both a suite of powerful data protection applications and an open platform that's sparking an ecosystem of innovation. Through the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard, we're not just protecting data; we're creating a new paradigm where security enables sharing rather than preventing it.
Think of us as the Android of data protection: a robust platform with an open core that developers and partners can build upon, coupled with our own best-in-class applications that showcase what's possible when you reimagine security from the ground up.
Backed by Iconiq Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundry Capital, and Tiger Global, we're helping Fortune 500 companies and government agencies discover that true data security means having the freedom to share, collaborate, and innovate — without compromise.

Team & Position Details:
The Developer Experience team is a new and growing practice at Virtru, focused on empowering developers to build with Virtru tools and the OpenTDF open source ecosystem.
We're seeking a Senior Developer Experience Engineer to join the team at a pivotal moment in our growth. As our Virtru and OpenTDF open source SDKs expand to serve thousands of developers across enterprise, government, and open source ecosystems, our documentation has become one of the most important touchpoints between Virtru and the developers who depend on us.
This role exists to own that touchpoint. You'll treat Virtru's developer documentation as a product: benchmarking our developer experience against industry leaders, shipping interactive docs and content infrastructure, and producing the kind of guides and content developers actually want to use. You'll partner closely with our Senior Developer Experience Engineer, SDK teams, and product partners to shape the strategy — and you'll write the docs, ship the code, and produce the content that brings it to life.
You'll join our Developer Experience team as a key partner with real influence on the strategy, tools, and culture we build together. The team is small and fast-moving, and we're looking for someone who's excited about that kind of ownership.
This is the right role for a senior technical writer ready to own docs-as-code and infrastructure alongside content production, or for a documentation engineer who wants to operate with significant scope and strategic latitude in a growing developer-facing platform.
This position is remote and reports to Virtru's Developer Experience team lead.
As a Senior Developer Experience Engineer, your responsibilities will include:
Docs as a Product : Own Virtru's developer documentation end-to-end — information architecture, content quality, user experience, and the platform it runs on. Benchmark our docs against industry-leading developer experiences and lead the roadmap that gets us to that bar.
Interactive & Accessible Documentation : Design and ship interactive docs experiences — embedded code samples, runnable examples, API explorers, video walkthroughs — that meet developers where they are. Hold a high bar for accessibility, performance, and the kind of polish that makes docs feel delightful rather than obligatory.
Content Production : Write cookbook-style guides, tutorials, conceptual explanations, and reference material. Produce screencasts and video walkthroughs for high-impact developer workflows.
Working API Examples : Treat code samples as first-class documentation. Build and maintain a library of working, copy-pasteable, version-tested API examples across our supported SDKs and languages — examples that compile, execute, and demonstrate the actual workflows developers care about.
Docs Infrastructure : Own the documentation platform — site generation, CI, preview environments, content tooling, search, analytics — and improve it as a first-class engineering surface, not a black box you write into.
Agentic Coding : Use modern agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, and similar) fluently to ship docs content, infrastructure, code samples, and process improvements at speed.
Documentation Processes : Establish and own the processes that make documentation scale — contribution guides, style guides, review SLAs, audit cadence, and the workflows that let SDK engineers and internal teams contribute high-quality content.
Cross-Team Collaboration : Partner with the Developer Experience team, SDK teams, product managers, and the open source community to ensure documentation evo
