Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.

Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.

We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.

5+ years of technical writing experience at a company where docs were treated as a product, not an afterthought
Demonstrated experience owning developer documentation end-to-end — SDK references, CLI guides, API docs, getting started flows
Comfortable reading code; you don't need to ship it, but you need to understand it well enough to explain it accurately
Strong information architecture instincts — you have opinions on structure, progressive disclosure, and example density, and you can defend them
Experience collaborating directly with engineering and product teams to extract, shape, and ship content on release timelines
Proficiency with modern docs tooling (Mintlify, Docusaurus, ReadMe, or similar)
Actively uses AI tools (Claude, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate writing, research, and content production — this isn't optional; it's how we expect this role to scale
