Job Description
Manicule is hiring 2-3 freelance technical writers to write for some of SF’s fastest-growing developer-tool companies.
Ideally, you have an engineering background in the topics you write about. If you’re covering databases, agents, infrastructure, or security, you should understand the product well enough to build with it and have a real opinion.
I’m especially looking for people who won’t write slop. The work should sound like it comes from someone who used the product, understood the problem, and has something useful to say.
You’ll interview founders and engineers, test products, and write technical articles developers actually want to read.
To apply, send exactly one link to the best article you’ve written and why you think it’s great. Choose the one that best shows your first-person voice, technical depth, and high bar for content (and especially doesn’t sound like slop).
No resume. No portfolio. Just one link.
To apply, please email me. naman [at] manicule.dev
Pay: $200 - $300/article (can negotiate)
Over time, happy to convert to full-time as well!

About Manicule
Manicule is an AI-native technical documentation agency. We own technical documentation end-to-end for developer tool companies, including information architecture, messaging, writing, design, and QA. Agents handle the mechanical parts like code verification and auditing at a scale and speed no human team can match, while humans refine the thinking and make the docs actually good. We're at $15K MRR and profitable, with clients like Supermemory, Greptile, Reducto, and Rootly. Supermemory's docs drove a 30% improvement in answer success rate and went viral on Twitter, all shipped in 23 days. Every dev tool founder knows their docs are broken but simply don't have the time to fix them. The old solution was hiring a full-time technical writer who understands engineering, marketing, and devrel. That role is really hard and expensive to hire for, so docs stay broken. Naman started freelance writing for developer tools 3 years ago and realized that you can't one-shot docs. They require tight feedback loops with the engineering team, multiple review cycles, and real product understanding. When he worked with Supermemory, they had two products that sounded identical to customers. He got on calls with the CEO, figured out the right positioning for each product, and restructured the entire docs around it. That kind of work requires judgment and context that agents simply don’t have. On the other hand, testing every code snippet against a live API, auditing hundreds of pages for broken links, and drafting from OpenAPI specs is grunt work that agents do in minutes. The insight behind Manicule is that good documentation requires both, and nobody has packaged them together. Shreyans was a founding engineer at Supermemory, saw the impact of good docs firsthand, and joined Naman to productize Manicule. We're now a team of 5, building toward that vision. Thousands of AI startups are launching dev tools every month, and docs are the single biggest asset they're all neglecting.
