Position Name: Technical Writer

Employment Type: Full-time

About Jaxon: Jaxon is on a mission to make AI trustworthy. Enterprise adoption of large language models (LLMs) is hindered by the “hallucination problem,” where AI models produce inaccurate or entirely fabricated responses. For regulated industries and high-risk applications, this issue is preventing LLM use altogether. Jaxon specializes in developing solutions that ensure the reliability and accuracy of outputs generated by large language models (LLMs). Our flagship platform, DSAIL (Domain-Specific AI Logic), is designed to tackle the hallucination problem in AI-generated responses, making AI adoption viable for high-risk and regulated industries. Join us as we push the boundaries of AI to deliver groundbreaking solutions.

Job Overview: We are seeking an experienced Technical Writer to join our team, focusing on creating compelling and compliant federal proposals. This role is critical for communicating Jaxon’s value proposition, technical capabilities, and innovative solutions to federal agencies. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of federal procurement processes, excellent writing skills, and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear and persuasive narratives.

In addition to government proposals, this role will work closely with the operations team, assisting in the creation of Go-to-Market training materials and tutorials for our SaaS product. You’ll be responsible for translating complex technical concepts from the engineering team into clear, accessible language for broader audiences, including copy editing investor reports, drafting content for the website, and other documentation as needed.

Key Responsibilities

  • Proposal Writing: Develop, write, and edit high-quality content for federal proposals, ensuring compliance with RFP/RFQ requirements and alignment with Jaxon's strategic objectives.
  • Content Development: Collaborate with technical experts, engineers, and leadership to gather information and develop content that accurately represents Jaxon’s technical capabilities, particularly focusing on our DSAIL technology.
  • Proposal Management: Manage the end-to-end proposal development process, including timelines, reviews, revisions, and final submission, ensuring all deadlines are met.
  • Technical Documentation: Create and maintain a library of reusable content, including technical descriptions, case studies, past performance narratives, and other supporting materials.
  • Compliance Assurance: Ensure all proposals adhere to federal standards and guidelines, including formatting, language, and content specifications.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including engineering, sales, legal, and operations, to gather and validate information required for proposals.
  • Continuous Improvement: Regularly review and update proposal content and processes to improve quality and efficiency, incorporating feedback from stakeholders and post-submission debriefs.

Qualifications

  • Experience: Minimum 3-5 years of experience in technical writing, with a focus on federal proposals. Experience in the AI or technology sector is a plus.
  • Knowledge: Strong understanding of federal acquisition regulations (FAR), government procurement processes, and RFP/RFQ requirements.
  • Writing Skills: Exceptional written communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical information clearly and persuasively.
  • Attention to Detail: Meticulous attention to detail, particularly in ensuring compliance with federal guidelines and requirements.
  • Project Management: Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines.
  • Collaboration: Proven ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams and build relationships with subject matter experts.
  • Technical Acumen: Familiarity with AI technologies, particularly in the area of LLMs, formal reasoning systems, or related fields, is highly desirable.

Preferred Qualifications

What Makes Jaxon Different?

  • Human First: Our leaders get it — life happens. Whether it’s flexible working hours or understanding the need for a mental health day, we prioritize your well-being. Our CEO recognizes that happy people do the best work and he backs that up with an empathetically led culture – and I’m not just saying that because he’s going to read this post.
  • Laid-Back Culture: We know that the best work comes from a place of comfort and authenticity. At Jaxon, you’re encouraged to be yourself, dress casually, and embrace your quirky side. It’s just one of the benefits of being an early-stage, high-growth startup.
  • Tech Lover's Dream: From hackathons to tech talks with industry leaders, we fuel our passion for innovation with constant learning and development opportunities.
  • Grunt Work to Grand Projects: Every task you tackle, big or small, matters. You think I’m writing job descriptions for fun? Sometimes things need to get done and it’s an all hands on deck situation to get them to the finish line. We're looking for team players who understand that achieving groundbreaking AI innovations sometimes involves rolling up your sleeves to tackle the essential, yet less glamorous tasks.
  • Excited about the prospect of free snacks, massages, and a hot tub at the office? You might have to keep looking, as we're a fully remote team. However, if you ever feel the need to switch up your work environment, you’re always welcome at our office space in Lincoln, Massachusetts—includes a dartboard and BBQ!

About You: You're the type of person who's naturally driven—not necessarily because you built a rocket in your backyard as a kid, but because you have a genuine curiosity about the world of technology. In your spare time, you might find yourself deep-diving into technology subreddits, following the latest industry trends, or exploring which companies are innovating and how. Your passion isn't just about staying informed; it's about thinking how you can take these emerging concepts and scale them up, make them faster, or more impactful. At Jaxon, we're looking for someone who sees a baseline and instinctively wants to build beyond it. If you’re ready to take what exists and make it extraordinary, you’ll fit right in.
