Knowledge Systems Architect

153k – 165kAustin, TXChicago, ILWashington, DCNew York, NYTechnical WritingHybrid7+ YOE
Summary

Designs and governs enterprise knowledge systems and infrastructure using Confluence and Glean. Establishes documentation standards, lifecycle policies, and AI workflow guardrails to make organizational knowledge legible and self-sustaining.

About the role

Ongoing Responsibilities

  • Own Confluence and Glean as the primary business administrator for both platforms; maintain governance models and usage standards
  • Maintain documentation standards, style guidance, and structural templates (as system assets, not as a writer)
  • Define and manage lifecycle rules: what gets refreshed, archived, and retired — and when
  • Run content health audits on a defined cadence and surface insights to leadership and team owners
  • Serve as the internal expert on when and how AI can be safely used in documentation workflows — and maintain those guardrails as AI tooling evolves
  • Manage knowledge infrastructure transitions (new team spaces, ownership migrations, tool changes)

Must have

  • Deep experience in knowledge management, information architecture, or technical writing with a strong systems orientation — think in infrastructure, not documents
  • Demonstrated ability to design and implement governance frameworks, not just follow them
  • Hands-on experience with Confluence and/or Glean (or equivalent enterprise knowledge and search platforms)
  • Comfort working across data, analytics, and tooling to instrument and measure knowledge health
  • "First-hire" mindset — thrive as a strategist, operator, and change agent
  • Strong written communication
  • Experience with AI-assisted documentation workflows or LLM-based content tooling

Strong plus

  • Background working in a technical environment (R&D, Engineering, or Product-adjacent)
  • Familiarity with analytics tools (Hex, Looker, or similar) for building dashboards
  • Experience in an enablement or internal developer-relations type role
