TechHut is growing and we're looking for people who can bring real expertise to our content. If you live and breathe self-hosting, homelabs, and Linux, we want to hear from you.
Technical Writer
You'll research, test, and write guides covering self-hosting, home servers, and the tools and infrastructure around them. Your work will be the foundation for both written articles and video content on the TechHut channel.
This role requires strong judgment. You'll know what deserves depth, what should be left out, and how to explain complex technical ideas without oversimplifying or skipping the hard parts. You'll ship consistently on a regular, fast-paced cadence without sacrificing quality.
Note: This is part-time contract work to start.
Requirements
- Deep, hands-on experience with self-hosting, home servers, Linux, Docker, open-source, networking, and related infrastructure
- Ability to stay current on trending topics in the homelab and open-source space with quick turnaround
- Able to set up, test, and document tools locally to produce foolproof, easy-to-follow guides
- Ability to write or adapt demos, examples, and walkthroughs that support video content
- Proven ability to ship consistently on a regular cadence without sacrificing quality
- Strong written communication with the ability to translate technical documentation into clear, natural-sounding content
Preferred, but not required
- Experience writing for a technical audience or publishing on a blog or platform
- Familiarity with using audience signals (retention, feedback, comments, usage patterns) to refine future content
- Experience with video scripting or production workflows
- Comfortable recording screen demos and walkthroughs
- Familiarity with Git, Markdown/MDX, or contributing to open-source projects
Pay: Dependent on your experience and preferred arrangement, on an hourly or per-article basis. Let us know what works for you.
