41 technical writing jobs in this issue, plus 7 hiring posts from LinkedIn and 3 freelance and contract leads.

Put together each week by Udaay Alney

This week

  • Hyderabad had two technical writing roles this week, at ORBCOMM and Salesforce. Most of the other India roles are in Bengaluru.
  • About a third of this week's US technical writing listings needed a security clearance or US citizenship, mostly for defence work, so they are left out. Six of the seven US roles in this issue state pay, and none mentions visa sponsorship.
  • Australia had three usable roles and the Gulf two, both in Saudi Arabia. None of them states pay.
  • One remote role said in its own text that it hires across countries: a contract role at Tameson.
  • Hiring posts outside India were thin this week, with one from the United States and one from Slovenia.

LinkedIn and Naukri listings are from the past seven days; career pages and remote boards can carry older roles, and each entry shows the day it was posted. Experience figures, pay and the notes on who can apply are taken from each listing, and applicant counts are LinkedIn's or Naukri's on that day, so check the listing before you apply. Entries described as posts are public LinkedIn posts, and the contact details are in the posts.
