Working as part of the XDR development team, you will collaborate closely with Product Managers, Developers, QA Engineers, and Implementation Specialists to ensure that every product feature is accurately represented and easily understood.
Your work will directly influence how customers learn, deploy, and interact with Group-IB products in their real security operations.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of documentation tools and workflows (Confluence, Git, Appcues, AI-based tools).

Requirements
