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? 16 of the 20 technical writer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 1 more are hybrid. The other 57 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 20 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 77 open positions across 45 hiring companies, based on available posting data. Roles posted this week total 16, suggesting a steady stream of new opportunities entering the market rather than a stagnant pool of listings. This ratio of open positions to hiring companies indicates that many organizations are actively seeking to fill multiple technical writing roles simultaneously, rather than a small number of companies dominating the listings. Compensation data drawn from posted job listings shows a median salary of $109,562.50, with a 25th percentile of $85,000 and a 75th percentile of $162,887.50. This range reflects meaningful variation in pay across postings, likely tied to factors such as experience level, industry, and specific role requirements, though the underlying data does not specify these breakdowns. Among the companies currently hiring, Verdacert, Northeastern University, Texas A&M University System, and two Penn State University postings (academic and general) appear as top contributors to the current listings. The presence of multiple university systems among the top hiring entities suggests that higher education institutions represent a notable segment of current technical writer demand, based on available data. Overall, the market presents a moderate volume of openings relative to the number of hiring organizations, with weekly postings indicating continued, if measured, hiring activity. Job seekers evaluating this market should note that the wide spread between the 25th and 75th salary percentiles points to variability in compensation that may correspond to differences in seniority, location, or sector. Those researching specific opportunities are encouraged to review individual postings for role-specific details, as the aggregate statistics here reflect overall market conditions rather than any single position's requirements or compensation.
What skills are in-demand for Technical Writer roles right now?
The provided data does not break down specific skill requirements listed in current postings. Based on available data, prospective applicants should review individual job listings from companies such as Verdacert and the listed university systems to identify specific skill expectations for open roles.
What salary range can Technical Writers expect based on current postings?
Based on current postings, the median salary is $109,562.50, with a 25th percentile of $85,000 and a 75th percentile of $162,887.50. This indicates a wide range of compensation across the 77 open positions, likely influenced by factors such as experience 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, and Penn State University, which appears twice in listings covering both academic and general roles. This suggests higher education institutions represent a notable share of current demand.
How competitive is the Technical Writer job market currently?
With 77 open positions spread across 45 hiring companies and 16 new roles posted this week, based on current postings the market shows a reasonable number of opportunities relative to the number of employers. However, the data does not include applicant volume, so overall competitiveness for individual roles cannot be determined from these figures alone.
