The Investment Technology team is seeking a Nashville, TN based Technical Writer to own and evolve documentation for our investment data and analytics platforms. You will play a critical role in making complex data systems understandable, discoverable, and usable for investment professionals and technologists alike. This role is ideal for someone who excels at technical communication, enjoys working at the intersection of data and investments, and is passionate about enabling clarity, governance, and AI‑ready knowledge at scale.
You will work closely with data engineers, architects, product owners, and investment stakeholders to ensure that technical concepts are clearly documented, consistently described, and optimized for both human and AI‑assisted consumption.
What You’ll Do:
You will serve as the technical writer and documentation lead for investment data platforms and analytics solutions. The role focuses on authoring, structuring, and maintaining technical documentation that explains how investment data is sourced, modeled, governed, accessed, and used across research, portfolio management, risk, and analytics workflows.
Technical Documentation & Knowledge Authoring
- Author and maintain clear, accurate documentation for data pipelines, datasets, semantic models, APIs, and analytics products.
- Produce architecture overviews, data flow diagrams, data dictionaries, and usage guides for investment data assets.
- Translate complex engineering and investment concepts into consumable documentation for technical and non‑technical audiences.
Data Modeling & Metadata Documentation
- Document data models, schemas, business definitions, and relationships across fixed income, equities, and multi‑asset domains.
- Maintain standardized templates for data definitions, metrics, and calculated fields to ensure consistency across platforms.
- Partner with engineering teams to keep documentation aligned with evolving data structures and releases.
Investment Data Domain Context
- Build working knowledge of key investment data domains (reference data, pricing, terms & conditions, indices, risk inputs).
- Clearly document how data inputs flow into analytics, models, and reporting outputs used by investment teams.
- Ensure documentation reflects both technical design and business usage context.
AI‑Ready & Searchable Documentation
- Structure documentation so it can be effectively consumed by AI assistants (e.g., Copilot, internal LLMs).
- Apply consistent metadata, tagging, and taxonomy standards to improve discoverability and retrieval.
- Design documentation hierarchies and knowledge bases that support natural‑language search and AI‑driven Q&A.
Data Governance & Standards Support
- Contribute to data governance documentation, including standards, best practices, and usage guidelines.
- Partner with data governance, architecture, and security teams to document controls, access patterns, and compliance considerations.
- Support adoption of enterprise catalogs (e.g., Purview) through high‑quality descriptive content.
Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement
- Work closely with data engineers, architects, product managers, and investment teams to gather content and validate accuracy.
- Facilitate documentation reviews and ensure alignment across technology and business stakeholders.
- Act as a steward of documentation quality, clarity, and consistency across the investment data ecosystem.
What We’re Looking For:
Technical Writing & Documentation
- Proven experience authoring technical documentation for data platforms, analytics systems, or enterprise technology.
- Strong ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, structured written content.
- Experience creating architecture diagrams, data flow documentation, and structured knowledge bases.
Data & Analytics Literacy
- Working understanding of data concepts such as data pipelines, ETL/ELT, data modeling, semantic layers, and BI tools.
- Familiarity with data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, Synapse, or similar (documentation focus, not hands‑on build).
- Exposure to analytics tools like Power BI or Excel from a documentation and enablement perspective.
- Understanding of how documentation supports AI tools, search, and retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG).
- Experience structuring content for discoverability, reuse, and automated interpretation.
Tools & Platforms
- Documentation tools such as Confluence, SharePoint, Markdown‑based systems, or similar knowledge platforms.
- Experience working with metadata catalogs (e.g., Microsoft Purview or equivalents) is a plus.
Soft Skills
- Exceptional written communication and attention to detail.
- Ability to work cross‑functionally with engineers, architects, and investment professionals.
- Strong organizational skills and comfort managing documentation across multiple initiatives.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Senior Technical Writer
Align your portfolio to PERM job requirements
PERM certification locks in the minimum qualifications your employer will list. Before your employer files, confirm your portfolio demonstrates exactly those qualifications, since USCIS will verify your credentials match the certified job description at I-140 adjudication.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Use the OFLC Wage Search to filter employers who have filed PERM applications for technical writer roles. Companies with recent certifications already understand the documentation burden and are far less likely to abandon sponsorship mid-process.
Search green card sponsoring jobs on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by green card sponsorship availability, so you can surface Senior Technical Writer openings at employers who have already committed to the PERM process rather than cold-applying and asking later.
Distinguish EB-2 from EB-3 during salary negotiations
If your role requires an advanced degree or specialized knowledge that meets EB-2 criteria, request that your employer file under EB-2. EB-3 is faster to certify in some cases but EB-2 priority dates are generally current for more countries of birth.
Verify your employer's O*NET job zone classification
DOL's O*NET classifies Senior Technical Writer under Job Zone 4, which requires a bachelor's degree and work experience. Confirm your employer's PERM job description references this classification to avoid a prevailing wage determination that undersells the role.
Get the offer letter language reviewed before signing
Ask your employer to confirm the offer letter specifies PERM sponsorship, not just H-1B transfer. A letter that says only 'visa sponsorship available' doesn't obligate the employer to initiate the labor certification required for permanent residency.

Find Senior Technical Writer JobsSenior Technical Writer Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Technical Writer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Senior Technical Writer roles typically qualify under EB-3 as skilled worker positions requiring a bachelor's degree in technical communication, English, or a related field. If the role requires an advanced degree or specialized expertise in a regulated industry such as medical devices or aerospace, your employer may file under EB-2 instead. The qualifying tier depends on how the employer defines minimum job requirements in the PERM application.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B sponsorship grants temporary work authorization for up to six years and is subject to an annual lottery for cap-subject petitions. PERM-based green card sponsorship is a permanent immigration pathway with no annual cap at the petition stage. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone takes six to twelve months before the I-140 filing, and priority date waiting periods can extend the total process by years depending on your country of birth.
What documentation do I need to support a PERM application as a technical writer?
Your employer files PERM, but you'll need to provide official transcripts confirming your degree, a detailed employment history matching the job description, and evidence of any required certifications such as technical communication credentials. If your degree is from outside the U.S., a credential evaluation from a NACES-recognized evaluator is typically required for DOL to confirm educational equivalency.
How do I find Senior Technical Writer jobs that include green card sponsorship?
Most job postings don't specify green card sponsorship, which makes targeted searching difficult. Migrate Mate filters listings by employers who actively sponsor employment-based green cards, so you can identify Senior Technical Writer openings without spending time on roles where sponsorship isn't available. Focusing on companies with PERM filing history in technical documentation roles significantly improves your odds of a sponsored offer.
Can I change employers after my I-140 is approved but before I get my green card?
Under AC21 portability, you can change employers after your I-140 has been approved and your adjustment of status application has been pending for at least 180 days, as long as the new role is in the same or similar occupational classification. For Senior Technical Writers, a move to a comparable documentation role at a different company generally qualifies, but you should have an immigration attorney review the new job description before you resign.
