About the Company
FOAM is a low cost, open source radio protocol made for blockchain applications needing verified location services independent of GPS. Our team is committed to building unprecedented use cases that offer a high level of security and resiliency, offering new solutions over conventional geospatial technologies. Proof of Location is a critical prerequisite for the further development of Web3 use cases, accelerating a world where smart contracts interact with the physical world.
The Foamspace team is based out of the New Lab at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, an interdisciplinary workspace designed to support urban entrepreneurs leveraging advanced technologies and are a Remote friendly company. We are expanding our team with a number of exciting roles to support the launch of our network.
The team is now working with external community members to setup “Trust Zones” in other locations, to stress test the radios and learn more about key Zone parameters such as distance, obstructions, shape, topography, etc.
The FOAM team is looking for a technical writer who can write and refine technical user guides for Trust Zone operators. This includes documenting everything from Zone Anchor (radio hardware) assembly and installation, to running experiments and monitoring the health of Trust Zones using FOAM’s web-app called Hostel (software). The technical writer would be an Independent Contractor, but there is potential for being hired as a full-time employee later, depending on the quality of deliverables.
Responsibilities
- Help develop and oversee the implementation of the FOAM Trust Zone beta program's documentation, communications, outreach, and logistics; while working together with the founders, engineering team, and project manager.
- Attend team meetings to gather content and generate interesting and engaging documentation, with guidance from engineering team and project manager.
- As a Technical Writer, you will be receiving hardware components and access to our internal Wiki. By following the FOAM Zone Anchor assembly instructions yourself, you will document your process, comment on and rewrite the guides as necessary. This further extends to mounting guides, antenna selection guides and guides that you can contribute to suggest as new contributions.
- The job may require management of the communication channels of potential Zone operators and community members, including overseeing content and material explaining the program.
- Additional duties may include research and communication with potential FOAM partners, help with strategizing work on future applications built on the protocol, and building a FOAM marketing presence on channels like Twitter, Discord, and Reddit.
Qualifications
- Must be able to write clear and concise documentation.
- Excellent writing, communication, and organizational skills.
- Passionate about blockchain technology, decentralization, geospatial systems, and/or IoT systems.
- Able to quickly understand complex technical concepts and make them understandable through documentation.
- Technical documentation writing experience preferred.
- Bonus for hardware and/or software training experience, but not required.
- Bonus for having an understanding of radio equipment, geospatial systems, and/or any embedded systems.
Compensation
Competitive and commensurate with experience.
