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? 28 of the 39 technical writer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 7 more are hybrid. The other 61 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 15 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.
