We're looking for a Senior Technical Writer to own documentation for Proofpoint AI Security Platform — spanning Access, Agentic and MCP security and enterprise AI governance.

- You'll translate complex security concepts into clear, developer-friendly and practitioner-ready content for security engineers, platform teams, and AI governance stakeholders.

- Own end-to-end documentation for AI runtime security features — MCP server monitoring, agentic threat detection, policy enforcement, and AI observability dashboards.

- Write API reference docs, integration guides, and configuration walkthroughs targeting security engineers deploying Acuvity in cloud and hybrid environments.

- Create security-focused content including threat model explainers, OWASP LLM Top 10 guidance, compliance mapping docs (SOC 2, ISO 27001), and risk findings narratives.

- Partner closely with product, engineering, and security research to document new agentic capabilities at launch, including release notes, changelogs, and migration guides.

- Develop and maintain customer-facing one-pagers, technical white papers, and solution briefs that explain AI governance architecture and Proofpoint integration stories.
