Every open technical writer role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 17 of the 21 technical writer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 1 more are hybrid. The other 50 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

What 17 of these listings actually printed.
Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

About Technical Writer roles
The Technical Writer job market currently shows 71 open positions across 43 hiring companies, based on available postings data. Of these, 11 roles were posted within the past week, suggesting continued activity in the hiring pipeline according to current listings. Compensation data drawn from posted roles indicates a median (P50) salary of $106,625, with a 25th percentile of $85,000 and a 75th percentile of $151,500. This range points to a fairly broad spread in pay, likely reflecting differences in seniority, industry, and specific technical domain requirements across postings. Notable organizations currently hiring for Technical Writer roles include Verdacert, Northeastern University, Texas A&M University System, Penn State University (Academic), and Penn State University, based on the available data. The presence of multiple academic institutions among the top hiring companies suggests that higher education and research-affiliated organizations represent a meaningful segment of current demand for technical writing talent, alongside private sector employers like Verdacert. With 43 distinct companies posting roles, the market appears to have a reasonably diverse employer base rather than concentration among a small number of organizations. The ratio of 71 open positions to 43 companies indicates that most employers are hiring for a small number of roles at a time, which is typical for specialized writing positions that often require only one or two hires per organizational unit. The 11 roles posted this week represent a notable share of the total open positions, which may indicate ongoing or recent hiring activity rather than a static backlog of older listings. Overall, the data reflects a market with moderate but active hiring signals, a wide salary range depending on role level and employer, and participation from both academic and private-sector organizations. Job seekers should review individual postings closely, as compensation and requirements vary considerably across the listed positions.
What skills are most in demand for Technical Writer roles right now?
The provided data does not break down specific skill requirements, so it is not possible to state definitive in-demand skills based on current postings. Job seekers should review individual listings from companies like Verdacert and the various university systems to identify recurring skill requirements, as these can vary by industry and role level.
What salary can I expect as a Technical Writer?
Based on current postings, the median salary is $106,625, with a 25th percentile of $85,000 and a 75th percentile of $151,500. According to available data, this indicates a wide pay range likely influenced by factors such as seniority, industry, and employer type.
Which companies are currently hiring the most Technical Writers?
According to available data, top hiring companies include Verdacert, Northeastern University, Texas A&M University System, Penn State University (Academic), and Penn State University.

How competitive is the Technical Writer job market currently?
Based on current postings, there are 71 open positions across 43 companies, with 11 new roles added in the past week, suggesting a moderately active market. Because the ratio of positions to companies is relatively low per employer, competition levels likely vary by specific role and organization, and available data does not provide a direct measure of applicant competition.
