Technical Writer
Job Description
In the digital age, content rules.
More people are now involved in creating and distributing content than ever before. We have all become the media, the media has been marginalized, and brands are now broadcasters. Everyone has a story to tell or something to sell. A need to create and connect, post and publish, showcase and share. So, say hello to Strapi! We exist to fuel the world’s creativity and productivity by unleashing the power of content. Beyond a headless CMS, we are building an open composable content platform. Infinite customization capabilities, the largest open-source community, and a broad open ecosystem.
